Clown Head
This is my first character I modeled. It's part of bigger project that I should be posting some updates soon. Let me know what you think. The clown is actually going to be one of those big plaster heads you see at theme parks. and its supposed to look abandoned.

you are wasting a hell alot of polygons there :P
And the texture doesnt quite look like Paint, or old Paint.
It's too early for comments, perhaps. Keep on refining.
but now i understand... there's something really fucking creepy about your clown, dude.
As for the model, I think it needs a lot of work. More reference would help. I think the collar is all wrong, most of the ruffled clown collars I've seen aren't arches they're ruffled collars. Which can be done with a spline easy enough.
It really needs many improvements, I'll point out just few: it desperately needs specular map and general lowering specular value- the specular makes it look so plastic... Plain ambient occlusion multiply isn't enough. Diffuse looks very simplistic yet clearly photosourced - overlaying noisy texture isn't enough too. I guess some hard surface texture tutorials could help. Modeling is far from ace too - he would look better if his face was more humanlike even though it's only a statue. etc, etc.
Keep on working!
@uncle The reason why the spec is really high in the last photo is because I don't know how to control it. I am currently using 3 point shader and can't find the specular button. My texturing skills are so below par. could you suggest any good tuts on texturing?
As far as the model in whole, I am not a character artist, never will be. Its just nice to know if I can at least hack it, for I am sure sometimes, artist wear different hats.
this
or
that
as for specular in 3ps - I'm using lite version as I don't need to work fast right now (also poorfag, lol) and its riiight here
