GraphicAnime Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Hi Guys, I would like to share something that I have currently in the works. The head is complete, but I am still working on the body. The Greaseman is based on a real Disc- Jocky from DCRadio700. http://www.greaseman.org I've been listening to him for years and he's really funny. I hope to create some animated shorts based on his radio sketches. [attachmentid=9731][attachmentid=9732] -Edit--- This is the Front and Side Profiles that I drew. I based it on some photographs that were available on the Greaseman site. [attachmentid=9730] Cheers, Rebecca Edited October 4, 2005 by DigiAnimeGirl Quote
maleman Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Very nice start Did you start with a drawing or is he free hand Quote
trajcedrv Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Great start! I presume that this is anime - style portrait of the person, otherwise the eyes would be too big (of course, this is just my oppinion) Keep us posted! Drvarceto Quote
GraphicAnime Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 I started with a drawing. I analyzed actual photographs of Greaseman and drew the front and side profile. trajcedrv- presume that this is anime - style portrait of the person, otherwise the eyes would be too big (of course, this is just my oppinion) I purposely made it big. I wanted a cartoony and goofy look to the character. When you listen to him on the radio, he sounds kind of cartoony. Quote
GraphicAnime Posted October 2, 2005 Author Posted October 2, 2005 I plan to make Greaseman into an Anime character. I didn't want to deal with a lot of texture mapping, so I'm planning to use the Cartoon Renderer. Most of my character designs look very anime anyway. I'm currently working on another 3D model based on real life. He's from a J-Rock/Metal band. Quote
MattWBradbury Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 The first time I made a face, it turned out pretty funky. Was like the world had been populated by the ugliest things ever imagined. Quote
maleman Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Will you be posting a wire frame of your model I would like to see how you made your eye Quote
Chairoscuro Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I thought Neno has blonde hair? I used to listen to him when he was at DC 101, and when he was here in LA in the early 90's. David Quote
GraphicAnime Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 Chairoscuro- From the looks of the photos, I believe it's a Blondish Brown color. The coloring on the model is not final. Greaseman is still on the Radio at DCradio 700. His show is on the radio and online. You can go to www.live365.com and find his online radio station. Maleman- I'll post some wireframes soon. As for the eyes, I used decaling. I colorized the Iris in photoshop and decaled it on the sphere. Here's a picture of the body, which is in the works. I tried to make him "big" and "bulky", which he always emphasizes about himself. Since I'll probably do this myself, I may want to use a simple storyline from his various sketches, or I'll probably have him say his famous catch phrases. [attachmentid=9734] cheers, Rebecca Quote
