And the ears...

[RodrigoRosa]

nice so far.... keep tweaking

[MrArmless]

wow, great start for a new character, looking forward to seeing the updates to that one :) Btw, nice model you had there in the competition!

[3Dan]

Hey Pedro!

Nice, looks like someone from a fairytale, be sure to tweak a few vertices to make his face less symmetrical.

[secobb]

Interesting but the skin fold next to the mouth look un-natural. He needs more subtle folds.

[Pedro Toledo]

Thanks everyone!

Dan - Your right about the symmetry... I´m using the symmetry modifier, so once I´m done with the modelling I´ll colapse it and tweak it a little bit. Thanx! ;)

secobb - Thanx dude, I´ll keep it in mind.

And an update...

[Goig!]

The years didn´t pass by for this character... all piled up over him! :D

Looks quite good, but I think the upper lip is too smooth, compared with the rest of the face.

[secobb]

Pedro Toledo: Yeah you must have done something to the wrinkes because they dont bother me anymore. They look good. Hair and a texture will make this guy come to life. How are you planning to aproach the texture? Is he going to be smooth and toony? or will he have old people liver spots and vericose veins? I would go with the later of the two. It would be a nice contrast to have a very indering sweet looking model with very graphic detailed textures.

:dance:

[Dedalo]

Nice start dude, keep posting.

[NoJo]

Looks nice... I like the nose.... Keep us updated

[Pedro Toledo]

Thanx a lot!


secobb - I made some changes around the lips, so your right to think it. I´m still (and probably forever) tweking his skin folds...
About the texture... I´m not sure what style I´m taking... We´ll see!

And an update.

[secobb]

With the addition of the glasses he reminds me of the old man from pixars giris game

[UnsteadyTeddy]

haha yea your right secobb, it does :D good job so far :)

[bullethead]

OMG this picture just creeped me out. That looks like my dead grandfather...I almost crapped on myself when I saw it. Its a good job dude so far...besides the whole creeping me out part

secobb - you have a good point here... It´s not my intention to make him similar to any known character. I´ll think about it and make some changes.
Thanx.

bullethead - Sorry dude! And thanks! I´m using my memories of my grand-grandfather as reference for this model. Not so much in the visual aspect but in the mood I´m trying to get. :)

[secobb]

His head is turning out nicely is he going to get a body?

[Pedro Toledo]

Hey secobb !
I want to give him a body. But I´m not sure I´m going to have time for it now... Some stuffs and deadlines I have to keep.
Thanx.
See you!

Great looking character sofar, has personality;) You need to work some more on the textures and the top of the head has a weird shape IMO;) The eyebraws would look great if you used a fur/hair plugin to make them big and bushy

[secobb]

Pedro : I like the way you painted the spots on the face i would continue putting more of those all over his face especially on top his head. I hope you can add more i like the way he is turning out.
