I drew this guy up today with plans to model him:


Here's the stream

It was mostly a rough idea, tonight (Jan 2nd) at around 8pm central time I'll stream stage 2 of concepting. I'll draw out orthos and possibly do some simple blockouts in 3d to make sure the design is solid before modeling.

Barring any disasters I'll stream the modeling stage Wednesday at 8pm central. Here's a link to my Livestream channel: JM3D

Yes. You can do it!

++ on the Gameboy.

that was special, just for you loyal watchers.

Did stream #2 tonight, archive version is http://livestre.am/1d9MT]here

I worked on the side and back view as well as tried to adjust some errors in the design - I probably should of did some thumbnails first but I had a pretty clear idea in my noggin.


I also thumbnailed some guns and settled on something that's a kitbashed broomhandle Mauser & NES Blaster:

What happened to the space man ?

He got a Ph.D

i like the guns with that dome/shield thing on the front personally

also nice work with the gameboy

looking forward to seeing more

Ok, I missed Friday night's stream because I wasn't feeling well, I'm going to begin modeling the body tonight at 8pm central time. Watch an environment artist attempt to make a character!

No sculpt, this is old skool low poly modeling ;)


Tonight's modeling session went pretty smoothly, I got the base body done. I think I'll do some rough ins and paintovers for the helmet & backpack unit then jump into finishing up the modeling on Monday's livestream.

Hahahah, that is a really cute concept xD I think his head is a little long compared to the concept though?

That can be fixed ;) It may look longer because he doesn't have the helmet covering up his neck and lower face.

good start, can't wait for the painting to begin

Taking it slow 'n easy. Not sure how I feel about this backpack/helmet design, might redo it one more time.

Not a big fan of the way the backpack is latched on. I suggest trying to see how straps would look.

Midget Mr. Freeze in space? I like it alot

I got sidetracked by X-Com: UFO Defense! I didn't stream the texturing here because I'm experimenting with other techniques.

Holy shit he is brimming with personality! Looking forward to following this.

Aha really nice start on the diffuse.

Hope you keep that gameboy on his belt!

This reminds me of the good old days of video games when the characters were booming with interesting personality, instead of the bald rinse and repeat white buff guy we always see these days.

Good job dude.

Ah cool!!! You picked some yummy colors xD Can't wait to see more

So much awesome already. Love it! I thought his little science goggles were bizarrely protruding eyeballs for a minute.

Great start!

Like where this is painting. Those marshmellow eyes are funny.

Been watching your streams, really looking forward to what you do with his suit! Loving the diffuse so far!

let's finish it!
I can't wait to see more!
