TheSpleen Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Starting a new project and need many new characters for it. This is the first one, I am not happy with the color scheme right now so may change it. Quote
steve392 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I like the charector ,looks a fun thing ,looking forward to seing what he gets upto Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Still need a chuckwagon, a lizard, A girl character, lots of props. Milburne is starring in it Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Does this color scheme look better? Quote
jirard Posted November 10, 2008 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
TheSpleen Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks! Just wish I could model as well as I draw. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 10, 2008 Hash Fellow Posted November 10, 2008 Fine vulture! (I hope that's a vulture) I preferred the blue, it was more cartoony. Quote
thefreshestever Posted November 10, 2008 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 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! Quote
danf Posted November 10, 2008 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... Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 I actually need three Buzzards singing background vocals so I can use both. what might be a good third color scheme? Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Here is my start on the lizard, I know I have splinework to clean up but here is the rough Lizard anyway. Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 11, 2008 Author 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
TheSpleen Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Changed the eyelid covers shape and added a bump map to scale him a little. also added adams apple and made slider to move it up and down. Quote
steve392 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Yea like the lizard aswell you got a nice style with this stuff ,there are some nice matterials in hash folder and you can allways dl darktrees free ones for AM http://www.darksim.com/html/simbiont.html Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Milburne went to the costume department today. if anyone has a nice six shooter that would save me some time. Quote
TheSpleen Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks Steve If my splinemanship ever improves I will collect characters very fast. Still learning though. That's why I am doing these projects, each one makes me learn something new. Quote
