Posible Scifi character/plot/comic idea
« on: May 19, 2010, 01:41:32 am »

I tried to post this before, but I don't think it worked, so if I have two threads, forgive me!   :-[

Hey all, I finally made a human character with (most) all of it's parts!  While it needs a lot of work still (and ears) I'm happy enough with it to show you all and ask for some advice and crits.  

first of all I know I need to fix his hair, and finish his glasses, remake his hands, then I really need to make those boots look like boots and not hobo sacks on the end of his legs, but other then that I'm not sure what all I should do.  I'm still not that good with Anim8or, despite having stated using it many years ago, but I think (more like desperately hope that) I have show some small glimmer of skill.  

I want to know what you all think of him so far.  And I would LOVE to know how you would improve him!  

As to what he is for?  I have tossed the idea of a 3D comic around for ages, and now that I have one person I don't think it will be to hard to edit him to make other characters.  The plot would be Saturday morning cartoon simple: a team of 4 heroes fight a rising army of evil robots that are trying to enslave humanity. The robots would look very retro and it would all feel very retro 1950's, pre- Star Trek Scifi.

I'm not sure if THIS character would be part of the 4 man team, but I'd have him in the comic some where.

As for the robots, compared to my first human they will be easy.  As I said they would look very retro and simple.   All silver and chrome and death ray eyes and clamp hands.  

Any way, I hope you like my first person!  Let me know what you think.  ^_^

I think the face looks pretty solid right now.  The only thing on the head I'd fix right now is the hair like you said!
I would focus on the body.  Especially where limbs connect like the arms (he lacks shoulders right now) and the legs, the crotch area looks strange where it all comes together.  The wrist also isn't the smoothest.  Great first attempt though!  Keep it up with the improvements

No, it's not me.  XD  I DID realise my 3D style matches my 2D style almost perfectly, however, and that has a lot to say ABOUT me.  I've finally hit a point where my art looks like I'm climbing out of the deasperate learning stage and now on to the refinement stage.  THAT makes me happy!
