jenjacob, I have done Asterix and Obelix, infact I did the entire Gaul village, the Roman outpost and a few legionares (Max, z-brush, SU). However I cannot even display them as it was done on contract and I waived my rights to them on sale (would not wanna p*ss my client off as they give me lots of work)

David, answer to you. Solo wrote this earlier in the thread.

Keep up the awesome work Solo!

Dear Pete,

How about a gargoyle or the Green Man for those who like to model historic buildings.

Solo, the king!

Solo, one step important in using subdivide & smooth is create the model bigger than usual or create many edges for the model? Could you don't mind to upload more detail tutorial from here? I really want to get the complicated model skill for my self

awsome stuff Pete!

Mr S · 12 Jan 2009, 16:58

Hi Pete,

Fantastic quality.
But it's scary how quick you can produce these!

Please my see my request attached.

Regards
Mr S

FenS · 12 Jan 2009, 17:46

Hi Solo,

i'm wondering, how many pictures do you use to create them?
I mean, i just see one picture in the request, do you go and look for a lot of pictures of the same cartoon from different points of view or do you just use one?

solo · 12 Jan 2009, 18:08

Thanks again guys.

Mr S, it's been a long time since I made a character, one gets rusty when one does not practice.
However I should get a moment later to give it a go (putting myself on the spot here)

fenS, well that depends on the character, I would normally search the net for at least two, a front and a side view, it does not have to be the same image from two views but rather images that I can use to model correctly.

I'm always up for a challenge, here you go, took 3 hours plus some change. A little heavy on the poly's due to the SDS meshing but overal I am satisfied.

Line and SU output, I may render it later
