Started Jacko the Terrier!

Hey guys!

I spent the last hour working on Jacko the Terrier.

It's not much but I thought I'd show you what I've got so far...



I'm taking the next couple of days off from the movie so I'll post more later.

T-Boom Model Done!

Alright!!!

It took me a couple more hours than I figured but that was because I had to build the sunglasses and I decided at the last minute to change the color of T-Boom's vest from black leather to a green army jacket with the sleeves cut off.

I changed the vest because you honestly couldn't see the black vest on top of T-Boom's back shirt. I tried several variations of black to make it work but in the end the green vest just looked better. It's a perfect example of what works in one medium doesn't necessarily mean it will work in another.

So, whithout further ado, here's T-Boom!





So, now what?

Well, believe it or not I'm still not done modeling. I need to create a model for Jacko the Terrier, a small role but a pivotal one, and then I need to make a model for a character named Rocky who is only on screen for 30 seconds but who also has a very important role.

Once that is done I will once again tackle test animation. I will have no choice but to do that because I will then be completely out of anyone or anything to model...at least as far as I can tell.

I'll keep you posted!

Thomas Model Done!

Alright!

I had a couple hours to kill so I spent it finishing up the Thomas model...





Now it's time to start on the T-Boom model! That shouldn't take but a couple of hours because the only difference between the two is that T-Boom has a logo on his shirt, a leather vest and some sunglasses. OK, maybe more than a couple of hours since I have to build the vest and sunglasses, but it shouldn't be too much more than that.

I'll post pics when I have them!

Small Update to Thomas Model!

Hey guys,

Had a couple of hours to work on the Thomas model today. I finished the body (feet, arms and hands) and set the proportions. Here's what I got...



Not too bad if I do say so myself. Now I need to color him up a bit and I'll be done.

I'll post that as soon as I have it.

Still Working on the Thomas!

Hey everyone!

I'm still working on the Thomas model but I wanted to show you the progress so far...



So, now it's back to work! I'll post more later!!

Working on the Thomas Model!

Hey guys,

Spent a good portion of the day working on the Thomas model!

So far, I only have the head. Tomorrow I will continue with the rest but I wanted to show you what I have so far...




Not too bad in my humble opinion. I'll post more when there's more to post!

Finished Willow Model!

Alright! I "finished" the Willow model!

Again, "finished" is in quotes because I'm always changing something weather it's for aesthetic reasons or because something is wrong and I don't discover it until I try to animate the character, but as far as I can tell at this moment she is done.

Take a look...





Now I have to start the Thomas/T-Boom models. This will take longer as he is the only human in the movie (well, main character at least) and I just know I'm gonna run into an entire host of new and interesting problems.

I'll try to keep you update as I progress!

Wish me luck!

Working on Willow Model!

Hey guys!

Spent a couple of hours working on the Willow model. Like I said, it should be pretty easy since Willow would be a modified Max model.

Here's a pic of what I got so far...



I'll work on this some more tomorrow.

Updated Max and Finished Xam!

Alright!!!

I "finished" the Xam model! I say "finished" because just like Gibson was "finished" and in fact wasn't, I think I've done everything I need to do to Max/Xam.

As I was working on Xam I realised I didn't put whiskers on Max. So, below are the images of the Xam model and one image of Max with whiskers!






Now, it's on to Willow. That should be pretty easy since all Willow will be is a modified version of Max and she doesn't have a super hero alter ego so I will only need the one model.

I'll let you know how that goes!

Finishing Up Max Model!

Hey guys!

I've spent the last day working on the Max model and I am close to finishing.

I say "close" because I still have to rig him and give him a final look over before I decide if he's done. This should only take another day or so and then I'll start the Xam model.

Until then, here are some pics!

Enjoy!
