jirard Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I like the first color scheme. Nice work on all the characters that you have designed. It seems like everyone is learning fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 10, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 10, 2008 Fine vulture! (I hope that's a vulture) I preferred the blue, it was more cartoony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreshestever Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 nice funny character... i liked the first one better, too... but it looks like you have some bad splineage on the beak there... maybe post a wireframe, i´m sure someone can tell what´s wrong.... if you want him to move his wings later i would recommend to model it with spreaded wings...

Gerry Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 When I saw the first color scheme I was tempted to say make it grayer, then saw the second one. But maybe a darker grey with a slight bluish/purplish tint for a bit more depth to the color. Nice start overall though! The vulture has a lot of character, and a FAT vulture speaks volumes!

Kelley Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'd go with the gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danf Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Some birds have feathers that appear one color but from angles slightly backlit they reveal an iridescent sheen. I think it would look really good as a dark grey that reveals a rich purple from the right angle, if A:M can do that sort of thing, that is...

TheSpleen Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 If I make him green he turns into Kermit really fast lol. So green is cursed. Maybe changing his eyes would remove the curse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakerupert Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Very nice designs, very nice modeling, looks like a fun project! Seems there are more and more interesting projects like yours and like largentos for instance and some other people pouring out lately, that cover not just one aspect of AM like modeling but are real small animation-projects. Very encouraging. You can use this peacemaker of mine, if you like. ;>) Jake RevolverBig15_310805.mdl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
