Yes, I created a NURBS circle, situated it on his shoulders and arms the way I wanted and attached the paintfx brush I liked to it.... did a bit of adjusting for size and density and so on. user added image

Whoa!! That's one cool job you've done with that cartoon!

LOL! I love it how the kid-Mike is exactly the same as your big-Mike!

Has he got bones yet for animation?

Thanks, JB! user added image

Yes, the characters are all rigged and with facial and body morph targets. Check out my site for some examples of other poses the models are in on my news page. user added image

I attached a pic, too.

Also, here's the latest update to the scene. The Challenge ends on the 8th, so it's comin' to the wire! :p

Great idea about the smoke coming out of his ears! user added image

Those glasses are actually an old model i did about a year ago... I believe you can find it in my 3D stills page2 at the bottom at my site.

This image shows only nurbs and joints... this might give you an idea of how I mix geometry types, too. Also notice the fairly elaborate foot controls. user added image
