Mr. Tin Man

Here's a character design I'm working on outside from my class assignment...it started off from a skeleton assignment for creating a walk & run cycle with simple shapes. Well being that I love to model I got tired of lookin' at simple cubes lol..so i went ahead & expanded my skeleton using both poly & nubrs

The purpose of the tubes was not to create the internal of a human as much...I just wanted to get rid of some of the negative space I had there...I figure just a spine alone made him empty

The only challenge at the moment is modeling the sole of the foot...if anyone has any ideas I am eager to hear your suggestions

Why don

Here are some renders of my character...it took me a long time due to other assignments but his body is pretty much complete. I don't know how I want to texture him. I 1st thought was green, but now that I look at it I want to try another color...I don't want to give him the feel of a military machine...I'm thinkin' something more playfull & silly...but I don't want him to be pink either lol

I also want a shiny metal with a few rust spots here & there. I'm also considering a semi-transparent plastic feel as well

any suggestion on texturing will be great

Nice! Really nice! But I don't know about the colour... You could have made him metal... But you probably want to show his insides... I don't know, change the colour, or make him out of glass or colourless plastic.

i agree with you on the color. mr.
dunkelzahn suggested i use both plastic & rusty metal look...I think its a good idea so i'm going to test it out..the green is not working on this model
