hawken · Jan 2009

not sure where this is going yet, but thought as it's moving along I better give it it's own thread

feedback welcome as always.

That looks awesome, i like it alot.

Is this going towards a game? animation?

cant wait to see more!

Pretty Slick Hawken

That Column/Wall tile is a bit too contrasty for my tastes though

Andreas · Jan 2009

I would make the black inbetween the bricks white...would fit in with the character more.

bounchfx · Jan 2009

I dig everything but the bricks

Renaud Galand · Jan 2009

yeah the same, the bricks aren't matching that well the whole scene, but this little character is awesome !

Ruz · Jan 2009

looks cool

SHEPEIRO · Jan 2009

yeah those bricks are killing it with too much detail, i like them though but maybe try limiting them to less of screen space maybe by limiting the height on the walls

madPXL · Jan 2009

pretty funkish!
could you tell us a little bit more about this project (iPhone?)
it looks like an adventure game

moose · Jan 2009

i like the brick pattern, its funky - but it is a bit much for the overall scene. Reminds me of some wierd 70s wall hangings/deco, that and my grandma's house. Maybe single it out as a deco accent piece in areas, and have a more subdued brick/wall ala the floor&seating?

Colors are not pleasing the eyes i guess,they are kind of wild now.

Nice! More characters would be great too!

Emil Mujanovic · Jan 2009

Some sweet stuff, hawken. I too will have to agree about the bricks sitting a little awkwardly in the scene. They seem very busy compared to everything else, considering a lot of your elements have simple lines and low contrast colours.
I really like the mask design of your character, I've been following its progress in the low poly thread.
Keep at it, dude.

I like the bricks, they kinda smash you in the face with sheer intensity

Hold off on changing it for now, I'd say. I think some kind of lighting (or just a second "shaded" version of the texture) is needed on the walls though, making some angle a bit bluer or something like you do under the sofas and on the steps. Keep at it!

hawken · Jan 2009

thanks for the comments guys, they are really helpfull.

Todays Progress:

SHEPEIRO · Jan 2009

thats so much better on the eyes, real nice style now

JasonLavoie · Jan 2009

That's brilliant hawken, can you tell us more about the game? Or... project etc.

gavku · Jan 2009

Looks great so far dude.

Richard Kain · Jan 2009

Yeah, you want to avoid using extreme blacks or whites in your textures. The change you made to that wall texture really improved the way the scene looks. I think that texturing the pillars differently was also a good choice. Environments like this one benefit from using a milder color pallet than the main character. It helps the character to stand out from the background. It's coming along nicely.

hawken · Feb 2009

todays progress; modular heads.

Renaud Galand · Feb 2009

haha niiiice

Love the nose touches !

Em. · Feb 2009

Great stuff, the bricks look so much better now, the old ones completely dominated the scene. Fun heads too, keep it up.

Ruz · Feb 2009

the heads are ace. simple yet stylish

_Shimmer · Feb 2009

indeed very sweet ! totally dig the katamari style graphics

hawken · Apr 2009

updated

Andreas · Apr 2009

Haha I love that hypnotic octopus picture on the living room wall.

JasonLavoie · Apr 2009

Ha ha hawken, your crazy style never ceases to amaze me man, great work.

hawken · Apr 2009

bit more on this

Maybe I should explain a little: here is one player model that I have separated into certain parts, most notably: head, torso, hands, legs and feet. The head has the most amount of customisability with some 6 variations of each feature (hair, eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, mouth etc) which can be chopped and changed based on the users wishes. The torsos and legs have 3 basic sets each to accommodate most textures like t-shirts and suits and so on. Also, each texture set comes in 3 different ethnicity's.

fully rigged now, then each part is separately exported.

Is that Hunter S Thompson in the orange stetson. Yummy stuff. Buying the ticket taking the ride.

quyeno · Apr 2009

Excellent stuff mate, loving it big style. nice art style.

Ben Apuna · Apr 2009

I wish I could add something constructive, but all I can say is that every time I check this thread out it brings a smile to my face

Excellent low poly and texture work. Keep on rocking!

Mark Dygert · Apr 2009

What can't you do with 4 pixels and a poly? Nice stuff as per usual

rasmus · May 2009

Cute

Joshua Stubbles · May 2009

GOLDEN SPEEDO FTW! haha

Really damn slick, Hawken.

sama.van · May 2009

hoo! cool! some very low poly!!

I really like the funny design!!

But for saying right I'm little disapointed with the flat color on the background...
some little gradiant on some part could help to had some cool effect?

But anyway, everybody here seems to really like it!
and my opinion is near my personnal taste ^_^!

But really funny, it's fresh and good spirit! I like it !!

I think it's Golden Holliday in Japan

haha isn't it Hawken?

Foxious · May 2009

Man, I'm loving the style of this, it's really refreshing to see! The only real crit I can give is it looks like your character's arms reach to their knees instead of mid-thigh.

hawken · Jun 2009

overhaul starts here, first things first, proper uv maps and textures.

MikeF · Jun 2009

really liking this a lot.
loving that fro pik hahaha

hawken · Jun 2009

bit more. Now including a mop-top!

Renaud Galand · Jun 2009

haha ! very cool style

Would love to see a DS proto or something

P442 · Jun 2009

this is interesting. I like the colors you used to texture the character. That having been said, the room looks like poo BECAUSE you don't have a unified color scheme. -Use the color theory, Luke.-
It would also help if you went back in and painted some TEXTURE in, just to add some variation to the surfaces, and maybe AO layer.
Also, the pillars are not working. The red at the base just looks out of place and makes it seem like its in a parking garage. Don't mean to sound harsh, but I know you could make this look so much better with just a couple hours of work.

hawken · Jun 2009

Thanks for the feedback, you are right.
It's just placeholder junk, I get very little time to crank this stuff out. Once the player characters are done I'll be focusing on the rooms again. The rooms are user generated with an in-game editor, so it'll be interesting textures for the most part. No AO sorry! This is for handheld, not pc or console.

P442 · Jun 2009

cool, cool. interested to see how it turns out.

rasmus · Jun 2009

Mop-tops for the win

What's the deal with this project Hawken, got anything running on an iPhone or something yet?

hawken · Jun 2009

some very rudimentary stuff working on the device but nothing to show. Mostly backend stuff. I hope to change that at some point once we have our file parser code in.
