Sept/Oct - Norm - Graylen
 

I just couldn't resist entering this one :)
hopefully ill be able to finish it in time... I'm doing Bernard from the classis Lucas arts game "day of the tentacle"
its not really from the early days of gaming (unless I am THAT old) but it is 2d.
I hope it fits with the rules.

I loved that game.Little bit of w&&d and youre searching
for god knows what.:)

I finally had time to start working on this and thought I should show some progress :)
The legs are ready (sort of...still missing some details), hopefully Ill finish the modeling by the end of the week
And then on to textures!

I also finished the modeling of the street and the purple tentacle (not yet with color but he has the spirit of purple)

Love the design you took on. Can't wait to see more progress!

cool looking street :)

Thanks for the feedback :)
I managed to build the shirt and stuff and now all I am left with is Bernard himself, which to me is going to be the hardest part since I was never that good with cartoon faces.. But Ill post progress as I go

The modeling is designed quite nicely. More posts would be cool to check out.

finally had a some free time so I finished the modeling. now on to the textures :)

hehe, you've definately caught the original character's look :)

Just check the shoulder width as it looks a little wide for a geek. That or the crotch is a little high.
Are you going to give it your own swing or keep it as is?

It's simply amazing, you're doing a incredible job. Though, the main purpose of the challenge it's to make your own version of a game's character. So, I think it's better you give him some modifications. Good luck!

my problem is that I don't know how to... well change him. I guess I have a worm fuzzy feeling for him just the way he is :) if anyone has ideas I'm open. I'm currently working on the background for the picture and the tentacle (cant forget him *G*)

Funny model you have ;), but most of all your scene is very good :D

I think if you put a funny weapon, or something lake that in the and will be great. If you could make it the more funny possible better will be ;)

Since your char has a goofy look, I think it would be funny if you made him like someone it's supposed to be serious, like a militar, or a secret agent (the classical 007 look). Or then imagine if this character starred a game which he was a super hero, like superman, with cape and underpants over the pants... I think it would be interesting, and hope these suggestions could give you some inspiration.

You can keep this modeled character. Then change some physical attributes so it will be a different model from the original game character. I think you should give him more of a torso, maybe change the glasses a bit, nose, hair, shoes, add some weight to him... simple things to alter his appearance slightly.

nice work
