Allright guys, here is the result of being bored in 7th period study hall(skool) today. I know he looks abit funny, mainly cause i cant draw for beans. Its name is Jimbo Feeble. Gonna be animating him after I model him. Thinking about using Sub-Divs, then convert to polys when I texture. Whatcha guys think? Oh, and I know I spelled Feeble wrong on the pic, and that thing between his legs is his tail. user added image

Hey this is looking good user added image

. Keep it up and make sure you do the same for the neck as you did for the arms (kinda blend the neck into the head). Should be very cool user added image

.

EDIT - Nice green added, gives a feel of the overall model user added image

. I dont personally like the default grey on black user added image

definitively an alien.... take a look at the arms... most lifeforms have arms which have the same length...

and what M said is correct: the different body parts should blend into each other... it gives a more creature look

WWWWWWOW, thats bright user added image

. Heh, what i think you should do is either dont do a GI joe render, or instead, make the green on the character SUPER dark.. so that it becomes bright. BTW, the legs are cool, but i feel they are a bit too far apart, even for your model user added image

. Coming along nice though.

Ya, the GI Joe render was just a test, to see if it worked or not. About the legs, now that I look at it, they do look abit wide. Ill have to fix that. user added image
