hahaha, im very happy you like it guys, jiraiya is an inside joke that i do put randomly in stuff, hes my fave character too, i also agree that he is not strong to be a warrior but to be honest i only called him that cuz i didnt know wat else to call him, lol, its not like a title or anything, just a temp one sort of, thanks for the concern, keep up the crits!
ok, eveyrtone likes it, but i don't. here is the reason why.
i don't likes him, i don't have any emoational felling tworaed him. is he a bad guy? is he good? where is his alliance? the mulscels def is not there. He is weak, i don't feel thrertened by him. happy ST.pats. happy!

[/ QUOTE ]To be fair, its not exactly easy to convey a lot of emotion through an untextured, unposed model. and I wouldn't say he appeared weak. Theres a lot of power in those legs and the arms and long, fine suggest whipcord muscle like you'd find in a bird. I'd say this thing would be quick and lethal. Probably not much good in a stand up fight but that probably doesn't matter a great deal when you can rip the enemy to pieces before he's had a chance to see you coming... theres a lot of character that can be read from this model, Todd, you just need to use a little logic and a bit of imagination.
well thats more like it guys, i like hearing that kind of crit. as for the emotions, well i think you WILL get more once the texture is done and he is animated, like jackablade said. Todd, im not sure wat u meant by the muscles def, but that will be done with texturing, not modeling, please tell me wat u meant if i am wrong. i am actually going to bring out the bi's and tri's a bit more though. and i really like your description of how hed kill someone Jackablade, its pretty much wat i had in my head when i made him, so if you see the same thing as me then i guess i did get his personality conveyed, at least to two of us, haha, thanks alot guys, keep on crittin'!
I like it too, and don't worry about the 'emotional response' thing, it's not that important at the default-pose stage. I do think the character has a strong 'alien presence' feel. And don't worry about the skinny limbs, remember that insects have all their muscles on the inside, so this guy could probably rip limbs off. I also like the obscenely-long tongue/mouth unit draped over the shoulder, that's a really good touch of character right there.
yea the arms seem to be bothering people a little, but to be honest, his muscles are there (texture), but they are suppose to contrast with the huge forearms, at least thats wat i was going for, if it doesnt fly tho i may have to rethink that concept. the idea was for him to be kind of reptilian and insect-like, the texture will reflect that hopefully. thanks again for the crits, keep em comin'!
the model looks great. im a little confused about whats going on with the arms. theyre very skinny, and his forearms are bulky. i think a texture could make this dude just blow our minds.
and how do you like this awesome cold front in orlando?
i think the texture is gonna make or break this character, unfortunately i havent time to even map him yet, maybe next week, im pretty busy as of right now, and yes this cold front really suck balls, even though in my hometown of dayton ohio its even colder bwahahaha!!!, i post more on him as soon as i get a chance, unknown right now...
i have had zero time to work on this and im really anxious to, i just dont wanna get in like 30 minutes here and 20 minutes there, i want to sit down and do a lot on it, but i will post soon my pretties...soon...

I'd have to agree with some of the other posts on the proportions tho, like in the arms. Perhaps beefing them up slightly might help.
Can't wait to see the texturing.
I'd give him a really big axe.
