thx guys. I spent my whole lunch time on playing with the diffuse. A lot of stuff are still really wip, such as hair, colors and a few areas here and there. I'm planning to add some additional alpha planes to make a better beard. *updated image below*
Very nice concept and execution! great character! my only crit is concerning the belly..everywhere else the muscles are very obvious, but on that area no abs can be seen.. the sculpt seems to let feel he got some fat, it's all smooth there but, he doesn't look that fat at all.. good start on the diffuse on the face.. !
thank you so much guys ! MoP :you're right, these alpha planes was really rushed, and my arm's diffuse is lacking of some hair transition to make a good "merging". I'll tweak that. indian_boy : here are the flats as you requested. I don't have the final versions here, but this is more or less how it's looking.
hehe, after a few weeks of rush @ work, we got 3 days off (woohoo), So yesterday I got some time to make some rigging test. Next step, background and diffuse tweaking and "done". not sure about the pose atm, but I think the monkey aspect of the character is reading better now.
