I like it!! Funny shiznit!!

Pony pointed out the bottle. Model huh? Looks great!

Maybe a little out of place? I don't think it matches the sceen. Looks a little too photo realistic. Maybe cartoon it a little??

Just my crumby opinion.

Good stuff!

Tony.

Especially since a Jack bottle would be huge compared to a toad... when you have a beer can infront of him near his own size the bottle would tower over him.

Maybe give him a moonshine jug?

lol very cool, I like your snow shader it's pretty sweet user added image

Only thing I would say is that he's a little too glossy for my liking I would tone down the spec on him a bit user added image

Haha, his texture is a Lmbert one. The colors make him look glossy. He are not the first to say that but other than repainting him I am not sure how to fix that.

Edit, I am rude I know. Thanks for you kind words.

I think that lambert looks great. I wouldn't change his colors for nothing. awsome little critter. Rare to find a model this finished.

The one thing I see are the shadows maybe a little too dark.

Ok but Lambert shaders dont have a spec component.... so I'm confused. I also noticed that his trousers have a very well defined highlight, as do the rocks these two materials should be very diffuse and not reflect or give highlights... I would tweak your materials. Even if it means repainting.

So did you paint in the spec highlights? cause that's not a great idea. I dont mean to be rude but I think you've got a well modelled character that is being let down by the materials user added image
