  1. Most times coloring a piece doesn't do much for it, but you really brought that to life. Good job!
  2. Robot pants make everyone look good. It's a rule.

    me again

    Very nice, It's well done in and of itself, but it's also a concept you don't see too often -- superpowered teenagers just goofing off. Although a hint of their powers might be in order if this were a stand-alone (otherwise who would guess they had them from this shot?), I think it's quite good. I especially like all the little details, like the cart wheels, the expression on the woman's face, the creases in the clothing -- really excellent.
  4. I went to Barnes & Noble today and re-saw that book I was thinking of. It's called Fantasy Cartooning Book & Kit by Ben Caldwell. Looked pretty good for practicing and inspiration, plus it's in the Bargain Books section.

    Also, B&N is having a buy one-get one deal on TV series box sets for DVDs. Just a value-added FYI to this post.
  5. Looks nifty, but busy -- where do your icons go?
  6. Hey, that looks pretty darn awesome! Thanks!

    It does indeed rock.
  8. That was nicely done, and a refreshing change of pace from the kinds of videos we usually see. And who knew there'd be a Britney Spears song that was halfway decent? Good concept, well done.
  9. That's really nice -- a lot of cold menace there.

    My newest one (a week old) is Monster Child. I have an interesting concept for him that I hope turns out to be as cool as I think it will. I'll post an update to MC fairly soon.
  11. Here's the one I'm stuck on: Monster Child. I was kind of thinking of a suitably monstrous font for the "Monster" side and something youthful for the "Child" bit, but I can't get a good look myself.
  12. You did a really nice job with that.
  13. I loves me some logos, and I think yours are awesome, so I'm awaiting new ones with bated breath. Are you still offering to make some for us people? Because I have one or two characters whose logos I can't crack.

    Aw, how cute are you? Happy b-day to the G-man. Let me guess... he's too tired to come to the phone today, isn't he? I think you know what I'm trying to say....
  15. Feel better.

    If it's any consolation (and I know it's not) I'm suffering from my first cold in 5 years. I forgot how much it suxxors.

    Apparently you are not familiar with my Revenant Poster Project. Mwa-hahaha!

    On a slightly different note: You didn't really specify in your question if you were looking for just information on pre-existing models such as are used in Poser or if you want to test your hand at modeling your own objects. If the latter, there are some cheaper alternatives to Max and Maya (or even Lightwave). These include, but are not limited to:

    Animation Master
    Milkshape 3D
    Blender <- open source (aka free), but has an odd interface
    trueSpace

    I've used each of the above to some degree (though I only tested a trial of trueSpace and didn't like it much).

    I loved Animation Master, but eventually upgraded to Max.

    Blender is free and powerful, but the interface is uses is completely unlike any other 3D modeling application and can cause later confusion if you ever decide to upgrade to the more mainstream applications.

    Milkshape is less than $30 and very easy to use, but can not handle the polygon count of Poser figures (but it's good for clothing and scene objects). Also, Milkshape includes the added bonus of a ton of built-in importers for models from various games (sorry, there's no CoH importer).

    I would like to see what you've made.

    So working on this a little more didn't get a chance to do any more closeups, but here's the whole thing so far. I'm actually going to add a bit more to Undead Ted, I think I can fit more of his body, he's the only one that's just a head, and that's not fair!

    now in 1024x768!

    And yes I did promise this in various screen resolutions when it is done!

    Is it just me or does it never get old how much Miss Liberty is used in Villain portraits? Great work.
