Sept/Oct - Norm - joed8349
 

I hope to enter this contest. The idea sounds pretty cool. Now I have to find a game character that has not been reproduced in 3D. Good luck all.:beer:

good site
 

I found a site with a lot of Sega games on it. I am not sure if I am allowed to post the exact site (hot link or whatever it is called) so I replaced the "tt" with "--"

Mighty Max
 

Game: Mighty Max
System: Sega Genesis

I have never played this game for Sega Genesis, but I have seen the t.v. show. I was thinking about doing the character to the left of Max in this image; the warrior that protects Max. I think he would be an interesting character to try and create, and many other game character have already been re-created in 3D.

Please let me know if this character is acceptable, thanks.

sounds good to me! Looking forward to your spin on him!

pics
 

I could only find a few images of Norman.

another pic
 

Someone had an artist model the character. I think its pretty cool.

I'll probably try to make the character a little more realistic. I was thinking about going all cartoon, with the shaders and all, but I'm not sure.

legs
 

The beginnings of his legs. I drew a little sketch, but I didnt bring it with me to scan into a computer. So I'll have to do that later, as I am going to begin modeling.

pic
 

I made another sketch, I'll scan that in soon. I am thinking of making the guy's arm more robotic than it was in the cartoon and game. Here is an image i found on the internet.

update
 

I started filling out the pants a bit, but there is much to be done.

Scanned Drawing
 

Here is my sketch of the character Norman from Mighty Max.

skull
 

A little work on the skull that holds the his chain-belt together.

an updated image
 

process

Added the eye socket to the skull decoration.

update
 

I have been working a little on the legs and the boots of Norma. I use a lower polygon model to work on and create a smooth proxt model scaled in -1 to see what a highly smoothed end result would look like.

Update on that skull
 

I reworked the skull a bit by taking out some of the unecessary edgeloops.
