Hello all this is my first low poly model which is a bit of practice for assignment I have at Uni.

He's a bit of a sinister guy with fondness for carebears.

Any crits and help welcome as I trying to learn as much as possible before I attempt to add a character to a game engine. The engine i will be using has a very low poly budget. On just over 1500 so far.

Thanks in advance

Here's my concept sketch:

And the model so far:

C&C welcome

Hey, nice concept Meekon.

I would say slim him down a bit. atm he has a lot more weight on him then in the concept.

requiem2d · 04-02-2007, 02:37 AM

I like how this is progressing, keep it up

Meekon · 04-02-2007, 06:03 AM

Thanks for your comments. Yeh B-E4sy he was even fatter before, i'll slim him down some more as he seems to be still a bit bulky like you said. Will post some updates tomorrow when i have time to work on it again.

you might want to re-consider your concept...since "too much flesh" isnt allowed"

Meekon · 06-02-2007, 06:22 PM

Sorry not sure what you mean bb0x. Forum rule or something?

Sorry if its me being a bit stupid :S

bb0x · 06-02-2007, 06:34 PM

NEVER MIND

ahaha i thought you posted this in the Dominanca War area :P

it looks cool tho' keep it up

will you normal map this?

Meekon · 06-02-2007, 06:45 PM

R i see.

Not sure yet. I really need to get the texturing down first before i move onto the normal maps area.

No damn time to work on it tho lately :S

Meekon · 28-02-2007, 11:24 PM

Hello again

While since i worked on this but here we go:

Unwrapped which i know still has problems but its my neatest attempt so far.

And painted some jeans for him. Painted using layer masks to keep it all nice and neat.

Any c&c welcome

I think a few more bears would make it look more interesting.

Meekon · 01-03-2007, 01:46 AM

Hmm yes i agree i was planning on adding more toys and things he remembers from his past when I have the time. He has the mind of a child, kind of sloth from the goonies style. See what I can think while i am texturing, Thanks for your advice Stationmiek.

Meekon · 01-03-2007, 03:37 AM

Small update

Don't like the head so will be repainting that. going to finishing this full etxture before i play around with accessories.

Any C&C very welcome

Station · 02-03-2007, 01:37 AM

Head looks good! Not sure on the mouth though, but can't really see it.

Model and texture are looking good anyway.

Meekon · 03-03-2007, 04:15 PM

Thx StationMiek. Gonna try and do some more today. Was thinking maybe some child's welly boots for this guy seen as he wears what he can salvage from the wreck of Chernobyl. Got a major hangover so will see what happens
