Character: Scrooge

goat · 11-12-2003, 11:33 PM

Ok starting up a new project.All this holiday stuff inspired me to want to make a peice for christmas. So why not scrooge.

I'm taking my time with this one. This is just the start still gathering ref and sketching what the style will be. I'm leaning toward a cartoony type but it will probly be a mix. The pose is pretty much what I want but I may exagerate a bit more. I'll be starting hopefully this weekend, if not sooner. questions comments always welcome....heck encouraged.

Goodluck goat buddy! It looks like a good project according with the holyday spirit. Or maybe spirits?

[X]treme · 11-12-2003, 11:58 PM

very stylized, but perhaps not very "humbug-ish"

. unless you're not going for the traditional scrooge look

i like it tho!

thanks guys.

I'm kinda trying to go for a scared look when he first hears jacob marly. but I'm still working on the ref of the face so it's a ways to go. i'll post more as I go! thanks for the comments guys!

awesome idea, Scrooge is my all time favorite christmas carol, I look forward to seeing where you'll go with this.

I like the concept, I look forward to see it in 3d

Great idea for a project. I'm liking the bottom two concepts the best myself. But then again, I always love the cartoonish look. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

scrooge wasn't a happy man you know. bahh humbug

NoJo · 16-12-2003, 10:05 PM

hehe ok, I've never heard of him before so I was just comparing the model with your scetches. It looks great anyway

Daniel · 16-12-2003, 10:18 PM

I like the skinny version. But he looks too buff, you know, he looks strong. He needs to look more withered and defensless. I liked your first concepts, not saying it's bad or anything, just my opinion.

goat · 16-12-2003, 10:45 PM

thanks man. he looks this way (mad) But I am goig to totaly change his expression. i did thisexpression in like 2 min. I kinda mixed all the sketches together and just modeled away.But the guy in the middle and to the right is the one it most looks like in the sketches. thanks for the crit though. i'll make him more withered
