Dec/Jan-Norm- Megaman (Kinda Late)
 

Hey!
Figured I'd throw in my own bit of work into this contest though I'm unsure whether or not subdivision modeling counts.
If not then I guess I already lost the competition part but it would still be fun to do. Hopefully I'm within the gamut of the rules and its not entirely too late to post. Also, is cel shading allowed?

Hey Megaman, I like this a lot!! Keep it up.

:D

Afraid the final output has to be polygons, but otherwise, looks cool! :) Cel shading is fine, but it would be most beneficial to the competition if textures were used.

aaah...well i may have to do some converting then...
Mayhaps I'll do the rest as polys.
=) I can incorporate a texture map into the cel shader if needs be to help push the rules.

holy crap!! are those eyebrows?

other than that it sort of reminds of Lucky Luke...

I'd never heard of Lucky Luke so I decided to do a bit of research and wow!
Its amazing that something so long ago has similarities.

Here is the body minus final detail such as bump mapping, and color mapping for the cloth.
Also, he has no feet yet due to my constant changing of boot styles...sometimes designing shoes is a pain.

Any comments would be grand. I'm thinking of adding "Shoulders" to the jacket as well as finishing off ties and whatnot.

Those are Eyebrows

This guy is a character for a story I hope to one day actually do involving these other characters as well.

Stuffed Dinosaur


Heh


Little Boy (Unshaded)

I gotta say these are some really nice renders. You got a great style. I expecially like the last image you posted. Great colours and stylistic touches like the eyebrows connecting to the eyes. I always like to see more cartoony stuff as opposed to pure realism or fantasy/sci-fi. keep up the good work:)

Thanks. If I can get this thick eyebrow buffoon finished soon I can have some mental peace. Then I have to get his color schema right hopefully in time for this challenge. This is my first time doing something like this so its rather interesting.

WOW! Ur guy looks awesome! I really like ur style and if u do make a short wit all those other characters, its gonna ROCK!!! cheers :beer: ;)

*speechless*


waves goodbye to the first place spot :p

I like the style to, can't wait for the final renders

Thanks for the comments, it boosts me up alot. I'm always unsure how people will take cel shading sometimes. Heh.
I've been playing with him for a bit now and will get some renders up in the next couple of days to show where its at now.

Mixing Cel Shading and bump mapping...Not so sure about this though.

I think the Bump Map has a pretty interesting effect with cell shading, makes it more believable, but still keeps the cartoon look to it


how many tri's you at?
