That worked. Interesting design, with interesting lighting/shading, especially on the skin.

@ Stuart Rogers:

It's a combination of the skin-shader, a bump-map and a material with a checkermaterial with very big spec-highlights.

 

@ Drvarceto:

I will rig him at the weekend and then he will get in motion

 

See u

I made a walkcycle with him. Have a look at it:

Thank you!

Actually I dont now yet...

I have several ideas in mind:

 

1.) I could use him as an old professor who built a submarine and a "make things smaller"-maschine and go on a journey through the human body... (that was the first intention I had, when I draw the first image of him with a pencil, but even the pencil-images doesnt quite look right for that now)

-> the submarin is already built, as well as some viruses, blood-cells, etc. I started this project a couple of years ago and never finished it.

 

2.) A nordic-walking-parody where several characters "carry around their sticks" and he is the only one who really needs the stick... and the only one who can use it.

 

3.) A story where a children (his grandson for example) asks him about life, the universe and the whole rest he tells him about it and the thing with the frogs.

 

So I am not quite sure now...

We will see if I have enough time for one or all of the ideas I have

 

Thanks for your comment.
