Astronaut Model

[TurboGorilla]

Hi,

 

I am looking for someone who can model an astronaut for me.

 

I'm thinking something along the lines of a U.S. Astronaut something like that attached.

 

It wouldn't need to be terribly detailed, but some details. :-) Is that vague enough?

 

I'll know what I want when I see it. Ha!

 

I'll probably want additional modeling work from you, assuming you do a good job with the first one, when you're done with the Astronaut.

 

I'm not rich, just a one-person animator who has zero modelling skills.

 

If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing and you don't charge an arm and a leg, please contact me as soon as possible.

 

Thank you!

Before I can give you an estimate, I have some questions.

 

1) How realistic do you want it?

2) Do you want to see the astronaut's face/head? Or will the helmet visor always be down?

3) Will he/she be removing his/her helmet?

4) If he/she needs a face, does the face need to be rigged for animation?

5) How much articulation do you need in the body? A "real" astronaut would have very little articulation because of the extremely bulky suit, but a cartoon-ish astronaut might have much more flexibility.

Hi,

 

I don't know why the email would be giving you problems. I've used it for years as-is. That's very strange for sure.

 

In any event, once again the email contact is sodonnell@turbogorilla-software.com

 

Yes, his visor will always be down so no need for a face. Although a suggestion of a face inside might be kind of cool. It’d let you make the visor be a bit opaque, depending on lighting.

 

I want this to be cartoon realistic. That is, I want enough detail that it doesn’t look all flat and like a coloring book drawing, but it doesn’t have to be something that would fool anyone into thinking it was photo-realistic.

 

I would like enough articulation that I can put the model through a series of tumbles and flips and I’ll probably end up bouncing him around a bit. Yes, stiff too because a pressure suit is stiff, but cartoon-stiff would be fine.

 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

FYI, despite the previous post, I am still looking for someone who can do this model for me.

 

Thanks for your interest!

I'll see if I can get the email address to work... I can really recommend Holmes tho!

 

EDIT: Went thru for me... try again Holmes, copy/paste his email address... there are 3 Ns in O'Donnell in his address.

Not to divert any jobs here but someone recently modeled a cartoon-real astronaut for the 'Bus Stop' project.

If that style is appropriate that may help with a quick turn around on this.

As it is already on view in an animated scene you can even get a good idea of the rigging.

 

Edit: Looks like it was Tim

Hey, that's a nice astronaut!

[TurboGorilla]

Yes, that's a perfect astronaut!

Well, a week later I get a Mailer-Daemon saying my mail did NOT go thru to that email address... so good luck to anyone trying to work for him, glad to see he found his model.
