awesome modeling :beer: great work
are you using final gather for the render?

no, just normal Maya render with GI_Joe Global Illumination Mel Script for lighting.

Thanks! :)

I managed to scrounge up an old pic of me. It was a while ago, so my beard hadn't grown in yet. :P The inset is the pic from my current driver's liscense.

nice ;)

hey mike! cool pic of yourself mate, maybe I should start a "members pic thread" :)

your model looks well good, you are putting in the hrs I see! very nice, and the GI_Joe Global Illumination looks sweet!

Thanks, BulletProof. :)

I'm planning on rigging him with facial expressions and redesigning my website, featuring him as a "mascot" so to speak. Have cartoon me introducing the site and "holding up" my thumbnails or something. lol

Small update. I'm still experimenting with shirt color. I've also adjusted the materials some to get a "softer" look and have adjusted the lighting. I've still got a slight 'halo' under the left forearm. :)

wow...he sure has eaten his spinach ;) some popeye style? :)

i think you need a tatoo. on your right arm. great pic mike.

kbrown - lol, yeah. I actually got the idea of the massive forearm/no wrists thing from a comic book artist I saw a long time ago. It stuck with me as looking unique and I decided to incorporate that into this one. :)

raul - If I had one, I'd put it, but I'm afraid I'm tatooless. :D
