A new character i'm working on (funny like)

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

i like it... i think it might look a bit goofier if you slim the waist a little bit and give it a big ass to with its stomach :p

actually i think a bigger pot belly would make him more humerous... also with the bigger bum.. i know your not to the accessories.. but i think he needs a loin cloth and club user added image

i think small legs would look good on him... like thin arms and neck with a bigger head, stomach and bum. i like it the way it is now as well. keep up the work... it'll look awesome either way. user added image

it looks really cool... 1 thing i noticed is his chest is a little flat. you might want to add a little more shape and volume to that part. also his right wrist looks a little strange... maybe it's the weighting i dunno. everything else looks pretty good so far.

hahaha ALRIGHT disco!... you should have him doing the dance move where he moves the back of his hands across his eyes... sorry i tried to find a pic for you but couldnt.. John Travolta does it in Pulp Fiction i believe

as far as crits go.. his chest does look a bit flat... and also.. maybe he'd look a bit more awkward if you gave him bigger toes
