The Hotdog Suit

natendo

This was something I started for the hand painting challenge last month. But some things got in the way and I couldn't keep working on it. Now I want to finish it.

Anyway. I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanks.

I think it's pretty sweet already. Maybe add some eyes/face behind the mouth from the person inside the suit.

I know you might still be working on it but the teeth should be asymmetrical.

Steve Schulze

He's neat. You could maybe add some wrinkles on the back of the bun where the costume bends.

I love the stitched together look of his costume. Adds a lot of character.

@SanderDL: That's the plan. But probably going to do that during texturing.

@Kaine123: Hadn't thought of that. I'll try it out. See if it works.

@Steve Schulze: Thanks. I really should add some wrinkles to the costume.

@WarrenM: Thanks. I was actually kind of scared I might be going overboard with the stitching.

What a nice character
I agree with SanderDL, a face would be really interestig. Furtermore I could imagine that he use a shield for advertisement.

Example:



Keep it up! can't wait top see your progress

I think you could probably afford to scale up some of the stitching too. The ones between bun and sausage aren't reading as well as they might.

man that sauce totally looks like a wriggly Boner in the front view!

I'm.... i'm sorry...

Really cool concept!,
I also really like how the skinny legs and whats shown of the human inside, gives that indication of how itd be some skinny nerd inside:D

So. Making progress. Slowly but surely.

Done with the low poly. Maps have been baked. Just need to clean up a few spots. Then on to texturing.



And the wireframe.



Also. I'd love any more feedback you might have. Would really appreciate it.

Like I said back in the hand painted thread, this fella is legit. Personally, I'd kill the stitching on the condiment strip, leg openings, and along the bun/hotdog intersection of his torso. I get why it's there from a real world, sloppily constructed perspective, but it just makes it unnecessarily noisy from a design perspective.

natendo

@Dvolution: You were right. Scaled back on the stitches. Definitely helped. Thanks

Textures. Still a work in progress.

Probably going to make the eyes asymmetric. And not happy with the color of his shirt. Maybe just white with a colored cuff. Also the patches need some kind of pattern.

This character is really funny!

My only crit is that I think the hot dog bun is too yellow. Currently it is the same color as the mustard.

Keep it up!
