Hey all, this is an initial sketch of my new character, MINIFONG.
I did this sketch few months ago :)



Plans to make him 3D and do some wacky stuff but not sure how my schedule will be.
Thought it'll be good to just post it to share my progress ;D

cheers!

Pushed his proportions for him to be taller.
I'll sketches of him for a while before I get into making the changes in 3D.
Meanwhile I'll plan the boards for my final animation.

Maybe it'll be short animations for the front and end of my demoreel. :)
We'll see how it goes, everything is not set yet but I've rough ideas in my mind yet to be trashed out.

So for easier skinning and rigging, I gave him a sweater... his eyes are just a texture now, his ears are weird.. But these are not going to last for long! :D

Here's the current look..


Here's a list of things I want to improve on him:
1. Give him some eyebrows
2. Improve his hair
3. Overall proportions can be pushed
4. Give him a jacket [That's what I'm always wearing]
5. More definition in jeans
6. Nicer shoes
7. Improved fingers and nails
8. Textures
9. Oh my! There's currently no specular on the face!
10. Nicer eyeballs
11. His ears are now.. Uh~

SO! 11 things to tackle for now! ;)

Top-right is the character design for Stong for Stong and Mong adventures :)
The hands are generally bigger than Mong and the silhouette is rounder on purpose.
