Pengwin's Penguin

[pengwin]

It's been a while since I posted anything in these forums, but I thought I would show you all the model I've been working on over the last few hours for a game I plan to write.

This isn't rigged brilliantly, but I don't need a lot of animation as I am writing a 2D game with pre-rendered graphics.

The final result will be a much smaller penguin, but I made it larger than need be so I can shrink it later in the development process.

Cute character, tell us more about your game.

Cute character, tell us more about your game.

 

I'm working on a bunch of retro style games at the moment.

This character is for a Defender type game. Although I may also use the penguin for future games as well.

Just a quick update.

 

As I said before, the game is to be a defender style game, and this is the main hero of the game. He will be visible flying the 'pengwin flyer' with which you try to rescue your comrades.

 

I've gone back and re-rigged him as I also plan to use the penguin for a series of cartoons to accompany the game.

How about some goggles to go with that scarf?

[PurpleDingo]

Scratch that....I see they're already there. Nicely done!

Working on the penguins plane now, here's the start:

Thanks Spleen.

 

I have a day to myself today, so I have Lizzy Borden blasting from iTunes, coffee on the plate and AM in front of me ALL day.... mmm... heaven.

 

I'll post a few pics today, as I make progress.

Starting to add textures to the plane now, and I still need to add the main guns.

 

The skis fold up under the body when the plane is in flight.

[pengwin]

Started adding materials now.

 

I've uploaded two images, because as I said before, I also plan to make an accompanying comic strip.

 

C&C more than welcome.

Good looking models. I like the way the penguin design is carried over into the plane.

 

What does a penguin do with cruise missles?

What does a penguin do with cruise missles?

 

In the game, the missiles won't really be used, they're just for show. But I will probably use them in the comic strips.

Oh, and they're used to kill aliens...what else?

Final post in this thread for the day. Just a quick animation to show the Pengwin Flyer coming in to land. Nothing fancy.

Looks great so far, Mark!
