The Impersonator - Toon Character

rubberduck · 27-03-2004, 09:33 AM

Here's a new character that I'm working on.
He'll be like a jester with 4 or 5 masks with different personalities.
The hat(looks like a hood right now) will have bells on it.
Still have several things to tweak on the head too, no textures on it yet, only thing that is textured right now is the eyes.

The mask that he'll be holding in his hand, the other masks will be hanging on strings attached to his clothing

GordaN · 27-03-2004, 09:44 AM

niiiice! i like it (as i like all your works

)

just a suggestion, the stick on the mask cover his mouth, it's hard to speak with, i think you'll better attach it to a cheek of the mask (usually only the full mask, that cover all the face, have a central stick).

PS: sorry for the bad english, i hope you understand

Nice one, though I think the masks must have more extreme expressions. I guess this is just the "base mask". As GordaN said, maybe the stick should be attached on the side of the mask.

yep agreeing with both of them work is great but mask should be more expresif and stick would look more fitable on the sides nothing more to say exept I 'd like to see a wire to get an idea of your mesh form...

keep us updated

very nice, i have no criticisms. i agree with the other guys on the stick / expression issues. the only thing is in order to convey some cool expressions i think you'd need more than a half-mask, it'd have to show the mouth...OR it might also be cool if you kept it as a half mask, and then made it so the characters lower half of the face expertly contorted itself to match the expression that the half-mask was showing on the upper half

i think that would be the best. also the nostrils don't really seem to exist, but that doesn't bother me...it just makes him more cartoony. if you do define the nostrils, make sure not to make the nose wider because i like it skinny like you have it.

Thanks guys

I'll see what I can do about the stick, like you said, maybe put it out on the side, Good point
The first mask is just a base mask, the other masks will have more extreme expressions and a couple of them will be full lenght

Here's another update
