jirard Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 This is a new character I'm working on. Still have a ways to go but crits are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfortunato Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 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? - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jirard Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnderson Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 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 ) Great stuff! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jirard Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jirard Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jirard Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnderson Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 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 Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
