hey kit11, great start! i always find busting out some really small black and white quick thumbnail drawings in potato shop is a great way to start a character concept. It helps to quickly get some traction in moving your design forward.



Here is an example --> Character thumbnails



Keep up the good work!Killa Dee2007-07-30 19:25:27

Hey kit,

     Good to see that you still keen to give it a crack. The elements that you have got in the sketch are looking good. I’d try and combine them to form the whole figure. Killer d’s thumb nail link is has some great ideas on it too!

looking really good for your first attempt at a character, mine first was far far worse



Also good to see your giving it a go, only one way to improve and a challenge like this really helps.

Looking good man. Post a wire frame so we can see how the mesh is flowing. Keep up the good work.

ok heres a pic of the wire frame so far, some bits are pretty messy specially the feet and bum, may still redo the feet yet.

Hey cool,

I recon you need to remove the triangle from around the top edge of the knees, press backspace on a slected edge.

Link up some of the lines in the butt with the cut tool to get rid some of the triangles there too.



Looking good, Nice abs
