Had a less than great day today

Daily Character Design: Office Fish

Okay, I cheated today. I already had this character banked away but I hadn't developed him past a certain point.

More Thin Man Design Exploration

I realized, after modelling the head of this guy, that I was in the clutches of a wave of excitement and that I was getting ahead of myself. I had to take a step back and remember my priorities so now I'm exploring the construction of this guy and trying to come up with the most appealing combination of shapes. There's still lots more exploration to be done but I like where these are heading.

More to come!

Homeless Wizard WIP

A little further along. I had to play around with some different layer types to be able to see my colours accurately but still have the light values underneath. In the end the Hard Light option was the best.

More to come.

Thin Man

I'm trying to translate this character design into 3D. So far the head has been a fun modeling challenge. Since the energy of the character's face is emenating from the tip of the nose I started there and extruded back to create the rest of the head. It was my first attempt at this method and so far I really like it. The hair is a separate piece of geo. I'm probably going to have to come up with a different name for the character though as the Thin Man is the name of that really creepy and really cool monster from Pan's Labyrinth that has its eyes in its hands.

I hope to post some more progress soon.
