WIP: Itzik to the Rescue

[dabigmuckymuk]

hello everyone,
Im new to this site, but i have been working on a short animation titled itzik to the Rescue. I just ended preproduction and will be entering rough cut next week. Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance.

Meet Itzik. Itzik is a Brocolian from far far away. Itzik, though a bit cowardly, is a fighter pilot for his great galactic empire. The Brocolians are at war with the dreaded Cauliflowerians, and Itzik along with thousands of his fellow soldiers are on their way to face the evil threat!

I had a friend named Itzik in real life. I remember when I introduced him to a friend of mine. I said ,"Hey Wes this is Itzik."

Wes replied back,"What the **** is an ITZIK. LOL!"

I thought I would share that with you. Its a true story.

Anyways back to your character. He looks promising.

But he seems alittle to blocky. This is just my opinion. You say he is a brocalli guy. Do you mean as in Vegtable Brocalli?

If so I think he should be alittle more organic looking.
You know just take the time to round him out.

Maybe even make his head look like the vegtable. Unless Im looking at him wrong.

Keep us updated. Oh ya welcome to the forums.

itzik is itzak's younger cousin. I dont have a drawing of itzik, but ive added a pic of itzak. This is to give you an idea of the character i was trying to create. This is my first animation, and its going much slower than expected. This was my first real character modeling experience and went through many drafts, and im pretty much done worrying about the model, were are off to animating next week. He does look kind of blocky, i do realize that now, oh well. Thanks for the comments. :-)
