Excellent character design. He looks fantastic! My only comment is that his hands look a bit boney - more like an old man than a young kid.

What are you planning on using this character for?

Thanks Michael

I just copied and pasted the arms from another model I made. I will build him some of his own arms pretty soon here. I have an idea for a short/series(?) that I've been floating around but really this was just for fun.

Here is a wireframe

Great work! I love how stylish your work is!

 

I thought you said this was spline-heavy? ;) I think it all looks great--maybe the nose could be cut down a little bit (spline wise-not plastic surgery :D)

 

Great stuff!

Thanks Lee/Jimmy :)

I always have trouble with the nose, mouth and eyes. Here is a closeup of the nose. What could I do different and not lose the basic shape that I have goin.

Oh and here are some shots of artwork that inspires me as far as enviorments. The first few are from Eyvind Earle. He was the background painter on Disneys Sleeping Beauty and was heavily influenced by Gothic art (pre Renaissance) the next one is Gris Grimley an awesome Illustrator and the last 2 I got from another board I wish I knew who the artist were. I like how the last 2 tell a story in one shot

Yeah, the Earle rules. I've been a fan of his style for many years. I'm hoping one day to incorporate his style in my animations.

 

Don't know the others, but their's is more complex than the Earle's.

Hey Lee here is the other character I was modeling. I know I said I would post it last night but he was starting to look like Elmer Fudd. :) I know it isnt a static pose I just wanted to give him an expression. He was lookin a little mean now he just looks mischievous.

Hey that looks great! I love the spunkiness! I could see this working great in animations. Good expression and attitude. I think that there's some center eyebrow definition that is hinted at that you could define a little more. Other wise, great job! I'll talk to you tomorrow

I decided to try an age progression on the first character in this thread. Here is a side face view. Forgive the ear I know its messed up :D
