I'd like to first and foremost make all the white people reading this feel bad by saying: Black people are 10x easier to model then white people, what with their annoying bone-structure.

My first player model, for use with my MotS movie project that's been going on forever. This is your local gang member, one of the many people the main character will come into contact with. The whole idea with this character was to use the large headed anime style and combine it with the fubu's style of character drawing on their clothing. The model only took about 40 minutes, but is still in process because of hands and minor details. Realism isn't the key here, because those who know art know that more realism comes from exadurated surrealism than actual realism. Suggestions to make this character have more character would be appreciated.

Build time: 40 Minutes
Polygons: 2314
Game: MotS

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Pornographic outakes of midgets?

Interesting. That first remark could be taken as offensive by some however...

What, that white people have horrid bone structures while black people are nice and streamline?

... I think I interpreted it in reverse...

Nevermind then.

Im not sure if the polycount should be that high. ive seen decent JA models that are less than that. This also doesn't look that close to the human body, especially the head. I dont know what to say rather than... uhm... it doesnt look good :\ I would look at some normal MotS models for the basic structure of a human. Also, no one's shoulders really are at a slant like that, unless they are a body builder, and this guy looks puny.

ok... he shouldn't be that skinny, make the lips a bit smaller, and don't make them "bell-bottom" pants...the look ridiculus...but other than that, looks ok to me

Those are all part of the Character.



As are those.

And okay.. wow... holy **** what the **** are you talking about? Have you ever seen people in the real world or are you just generalizing with the kids at school? Because i know many people who have brilliant bone structures who happen to be caucasian. You prolly shouldnt have mad that remark, and the second one reiderating it because it probably ruined your thread.

Have fun.

What the hell are you talking about? There's no different bone structure.

Plus, for those of you who think there's no bone structure difference, Here.

Yeah, there are slight differences, but nothing like that. That doesn't look human at all. Maybe a really, extremely skinny human wearing perfectly round body armor...

Well no, that wasn't supposed to be an excuse, just a comment.

The roundness and inhumanes is just supposed to be character extremes.

looks better than i though...keep it as is i say

Well the fact is, is that the normal Jk player model looks more human than this. And this probably has 5 times the detail/ploys. Thats the problem.

For the last time: It's not supposed to look human.

Sorry Kirby, but ehh, it reminds me of Pinocchio...

It's neat, but I kind of find that it's better to do more difficult things first in order to make them easy. Then the easy stuff becomes insanely easy. =P

I think you could do a lot better, it looks good for a beginner, but I've seen what you can do, that isn't it. The head is ok, but you really have to work on the rest of it.

It looks like one of the elves out of the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie that was made entire of clay.... a bit taller though

It's horrible, actually. Before you can exaggerate human proportions you have to learn to do them properly first.

It looks like a wooden puppet. I somehow doubt this is what you are going for.

Now that I look at it, the hat really screams "I'M A BLACK MAN!"

Explain to me this then. Why would someone be offended, or expected to be offended untill he told you that it's the other way around. Maybe I'm offended and take that as a racist comment.

Anyway, I really don't have much to say about the model but the first few posts kinda grabbed my attention.

Well, I do have this to say. It looks like a cartoon character. Which seems to be what you were going for. So good job.

It's nice. I think it might look better if you'd make the torso smaller.
