Hutch Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Here is a new model I have been working on. If you have any comments or suggestions for improving it I would love to hear them. I haven't started rigging it yet and all of the colors are just grouped patches so his beard looks a little funky at the moment. Quote
KenH Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Excellent. I particularly like the ear design. I would suggest adding a decal to mark the boundary of the beard though. Quote
DarkLimit Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 I really like ur character........his face is well done.......I look forward to more updates.. thanks for sharing......... Quote
Flog Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 awesome!!. I really like the cartoon style but with a dash of realism. Great work. Best one I've seen in a long time. Quote
nixie Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Nice, Are you keeping the simlicity? or are you going to add detailed textures wrinkles etc? I ask because I think keeping it simple would work best with this guy, its a nice look. Nixie Quote
Hutch Posted August 20, 2005 Author Posted August 20, 2005 Thanks for the kind comments! KenH, glad you like the ear. I am pretty proud of it. I eventually plan to do some decalling especially for the beard. I want to get him rigged first though and I am a slow rigger. DarkLimit, thanks and I will post my progress. Flog, somewhere between cartoon and realistic is what I was shooting for. Best one in a long time? I am not sure about that. There are so many talented people using A:M but thanks. Nixie, I had originally planned to model in some folds and wrinkles in the clothing and I may still. His sleeves and the lower part of his robe are cloth and I was having problems getting it working. Some of the geometry for his legs and arms was just sort of quickly thrown in to see how the cloth works. I am sure it will change some but how much I can't say yet. Here is a look at the mesh of his head. Quote
seven Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Nice model! He seems a bit sleepy, but perhaps he is really old soon going to sleep in eternity? Just joking - really a good model and your way between cartoon and realism I believe is a good way... Perhaps you want to upload your model - so we all can play with it? Have a look here on my suggestion - a MODEL EXCHANGE forum: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16847 Quote
nixie Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 I like the way it looks - smooth, Some modeled wrinkles in his clothes would look great, I meant his face (bumpmaps), I think he looks great in shaded mode keep that look! Seven - I think a model exchange forum is a good idea - I'd participate when I had some more models. Nixie Quote

Have you rigged and lipsynched your bird? And Hutch has a nice avatar too! Perhaps it is not only a helmet... Some day maybe Hash will set up an A:M Models --- so we can upload our models - having some exchange of them - they are a bit slow working on it - but I believe they are working on it - so some sunny day - they will do it! I hope! Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 His head seems a bit short, like someone punched him too much in his back-head. Not by much, though. Everything else looks great : ) Quote
Zaryin Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 He is looking awesome. I think I would add a few more "folds" to the cloth. I would probably add a little bit of cuff and hem also. The style is great. Quote
Pengy Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 great model, i cant wait to see what you do with him. as to a model exchange forum isnt there already a free model site Hash maintains? maybe if more people sent models there, there wouldnt be a need for a new place where no one donates models?

selahpoetic Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 YOU SEE>>>>>>>THis is the stuff I want to see more in A.M. I want to see more action characters and martial art stuff with that cartoon caricature style. U-NO? Not to say the other stuff is no good its just that its not as balanced with the other stuff you see Thats just me......... Well I love the character but I just wanted to know were any references used............. well Keep up the good work BTW......... what happened to starving artist's batman too? I've been waiting for him to post more updates I really like that action character too very nice keep being my inspiration Quote
Hutch Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 Hey thanks selahpoetic. It is pretty cool to hear that my work is inspiring. As for references I just used rotoscopes that I drew. The rotoscopes just came from my head, inspired by old kung fu movies and especially by a great Jet Li movie called Lord of Wutang (also called Kung Fu Colt Master in some translations but I think they meant to say Cult instead of Colt lol).

selahpoetic Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I was just wondering how the wu-tang master was coming (I guess I'm kinda impatient.) Quote
Hutch Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 He has been put on hold while I work on the Scarecrow Quote
