Pixel Joint Forum: NPA: My Blue Guy

Message

Started learning 3D modeling recently, trying to see what I can do.

It's a character I've been drawing for a while now, he's blue and he has a large head.

Here's the WIP, comments encouraged:

	"It's a character I've been drawing for a while now, he's blue and he has a large head." I guess.

	His hips seem a little wider than male's hips usually are. Is this intentional?

	Fiddled with it a bit, though I think I should make a new one from scratch with new reference drawings, this is still a pretty good learning experience. Here's a smooth version:

	Well, the forum is described thusly: "Get crits and comments on your pixel WIPs and other art too!" and there are instructions on how to mark non-pixel art pieces.

	No, NPA is welcome to discuss. This is because many here make other forms of art and since we know each other we share knowledge. Topics should be labeled NPA and of course its not allowed in the gallery.

	I agree with Green. I think you may be able to get away with fewer polygons or some better placed ones. It's not a huge deal, but if you are going to make a game it's a consideration. Start texture mapping please!

	I'm thinking a thicker lower torso might be good...I dunno if you are a male type of person (who can tell these days, right?) But I can say that my thights, chest, and torso are roughly the same width-wise, with just a small variation at the chest and hips, not nearly what you have going on. Psss
