Character: Val Hallen

[FrodoBaggins]

Hi, it's been a long time since I posted any project here, been quite busy. But here's something new from me

Anyone familiar with "The Justice Friends"?? I loved it.. :p
Here is Val Hallen from that cartoon...
I think the modeling is as good as done, next stop animating! :)

Lemme hear your C&C.

cool....are you gonna make the rest too?
are you planning to make Major glory, Living Bullet, The infraggable krunk and White tiger also?
That would be great!

[Chris-3DT]

haha, it's been a while since i've seen the friends (them *******s stopped broadcasting Cartoon Network via satelite in Germany)!

Nice work, keep us posted on the other guys!

[FrodoBaggins]

Thanks guys!

I will first try and animate Val Hallen, perhaps I will do the others after him... :)

Cartoon Network has been gone for quite a while in the Netherlands too.. :(

The viking god of rock is looking good, but can he really be considered complete without his trusty axe?

[secobb]

Aphex has a point he needs his Axe.

[geoMan]

very good.....light tracer...i wud suggest using a map for the hairs!

[bullethead]

Yes you must make his axe. awesome job dude.

[FrodoBaggins]

OMG! you're right people, I totally forgot the axe...:o

I will do so very soon.

("is this the axe?" *holds a fire extinguisher* "no, the axe is a music instrument.." "is this the axe?" *Holds up a lil triangle* :D)

[FrodoBaggins]

Done!
Perhaps it looks a bit too simple, but the only reference of "the axe" that I have shows it really like this...

@geoman: What kinda map for the hair, I mean he's cartoon and doesn't have hair like you and me...

[Teyon]

Nope, that pretty much looks like it. The model looks really good so far. I'm not sure how well transmapped hair would look on ol' Val though.

Wow, you all are living without the Cartoon Network?! I can't imagine how tough that must be...I'd go through withdrawl if they stop broadcasting in the U.S....

Edit:

By the way, did you get a model sheet for him from somewhere or are you just eyeballing it? It's really close to the actual toon if you're modeling without a ref and that is rare!

Just eyeballing...
I only have 4 pictures from Val Hallen which I found on the net.

Some indeed, but not as much as Cartoon Network used to have. :(

PS: You make me blush Teyon... :o

Time for some crits, hands and wrists are off dude, to flat. The feet and the shins look weird.... but i cannot place it, near the veyr top of his chest you see an indeed (looks deep) you may want to soften that up a bit. Hair kinda looks weird too.

Fix it up and it shoudl look good :)
