[WIP] Bob Deux

on: March 21, 2010, 10:28:17 am
Final: Old:

After scrapping the old version, I started from scratch on this one. Still working on it, but pretty pleased with how it is turning out so far. Still have work to do (mostly on the feet.)

Thoughts?

Well, it looks quite, alien.  I don't know why, but it somewhat reminds me of ET, though I could see it as an elf.  There is some banding in places, but it's not too noticeable.  It also seems weird having no toes, but I'm just nitpicking.

I agree about the alien aura about it... but I'm not sure what is causing it; he looks almost hunched over. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Added more defined neck. I think that is what was making him appear hunched forward.

EDIT2: Added clavicle bones and slight adam's apple.

3 things in my opinion that are making him look like an alien are;

- The elf ears
- No toes
- Very faint nose

If those three things were fixed, it would probably look like a baby. It's quite clear you want to keep the elf ears though. If you want him to look like a baby-fied adult i'm sure he'll look less like an alien once hair is added!

I would possibly give his legs more of a curve and a thinner ankle - but that's just me.

Yeah, I think the lack of hair is the biggest part of what's making him look alien.

I'll work on darkening the nose. I will also start work on the feet to add toes.

EDIT: Added the toes, darkened the nose, and added some more definition to the ankles and inner knee.

EDIT2: Added more curvature to the legs and altered the chest slightly.

Here is what I think makes him look alien
- Elf ears (already said)
- Wide head
- Narrow shoulders/thin arms
- Giant feet compared to everything else

Okay, I think I am almost done. He definitely looks more chibi than alien now.

Thanks for your help, everyone!

It'd be nice if you could leave up the original & the revisions, for posterity.

Updated the first post to include the final version, sans eyebrows, and the second-earliest version I pixelled (I saved over the first accidentally XD.)
