Beast Boy WIP (Third Character Model)

Greggersoff

Hi All,

I am brand new to this forum and figured I'd give it a go with my most current WIP, it's Beast Boy inspired by the art from the Teen Titans cartoon. Anyways I'm just about to graduate from a one year certificate program in 3D Animation and just looking for some comments/feedback both positive and negative.

Thanks in advance, and please be brutally honest, don't worry about hurting my feelings, I am here to improve my work, not to fish for compliments. :icon60:

the deviding slices that were needed for the faces are looping throughout the entire body - wich makes them harder to control (bad flow).

You could try to turn the loop and let it end on a mirror edge,- so that it doesn´t go through the entire body down to his crouch.
One way would be by spinning a edge and bend the flow ,- like this:

another example would be this:

that way you can better control your flow while still keeping quads (4 sided polygons)

well I guess that´s the main issue,- for the rest it looks quite nice,- would look perhaps a little bit better with smoothed faces on the screenshots

ohhhhhhhhhhh, thanks a lot man, I'll get on that right away. It was funny that it didn't click until like literally ten seconds ago and it was like an epiphany haha. I'll post it up later on today with the fixed flow lines.

I don't know if it helps, but I modeled this character maybe 3-4 years ago (not sure). Here's how I did it:
