yellow submarine movie

My new character style looks quite similar to the style of the yellow submarine movie. with the weird, freaky, psychedelic eyes and grin. This is interesting as i could make my whole style for the D and AD project like this. The idea for the project being a real life person interacting with my character through the computer screen. The portal into the computer could have this style, the computer could transform from being a boring white old computer with no name, into a HP imaginative creative computer bringing colour, psychedelia and objects to life.

new character

i used illustrator to create facial expressions for my character, and uvmapped them on top of the clothes i had put on him. As usual i wanted my character to have a quirky look, a strange personality! so i gave him the biggest cheesy smile, two different coloured eyes that scream at the camera. I changed the facial structure to suit his smile. The final image above has eyebrows and hair. I need to now rig him with bones so i can animate him for my D and AD project.

























I used the 'hair and fur' modifier to create the lovely locks on my character. I learned how to make the hair longer, shorter, frizz, colour, spike and flop. The only trouble is i couldn't save the hair in the place i wanted it to stay, when i reopened the file it would be spread all over the character. so i would have to do this last i think. But i like the reddy coloured hair, it goes with the red hoody he is wearing.






















modeling the ear and hood were the biggest challenges because once i extruded the polygons i had to then pull them back in to have that effect of the skin going back in and also that fold over of the hood.. but as a first attempt at more detailed modeling i think i have done pretty good.

These are the items of clothing my quirky 3dsmax character is wearing, i drew them and gave them texture using photoshop.
