Beautiful charactor, just great to look at.
I like the helmet and shoes, looks like he could beat the hare in a race any day of the week.

[NoteToSelf]

Hey.... That logo on the shoes looks familiar... Are those the new Air Alpha's?

Your character is wonderful. :tu: Excellent detail. Brilliant colors.

Good thing he has that helmet on. He looks mischevious.

[aminuts]

Vlad,

As your probably second biggest fan:D....have to say.....very very nice.....That texture is to die for! Really nice job you did on that. And just love the character, he's got that s*&t eating grin you would expect a tortise to give a hare before the race starts. I love it.

Great job and attention to detail in the texturing!

Very quality work! The texturing is excellent!

One comment that I have is that in the last pic it looks like his shoes might be on backwards?

best -

[Craig Ward]

Lovely stuff. :tu: :tu: :tu:

[aminuts]

haha great!! now I wanna see him tap dancing on the table, a little soft shoe would be ok too:D

[vlad74]

Very quality work! The texturing is excellent!

One comment that I have is that in the last pic it looks like his shoes might be on backwards?

best -Thank you Meats.I appreciate it.About the shoes. You are right.I hadn't noticed it till your comment.Actually the shoes are right.I think the perspective is the reason(I added some perspecrive this time). :)

Craig Ward -Thank you.

Aminuts-Thank you. I can not promise you anything about the soft shoes.:) My client wanted me to change the whole texture and colour. :cry: I already hate this bloody turtle.

[Jason Belec]

That looks so darn nice, Vlad74. Beautiful textures. Great style. Love this character! ;)

[odhinn]

Very cool bro...nice clean lines :tu:

[NoteToSelf]

I actually like the backwards shoes. Turtles are awkward creatures in my mind. Maybe they fit his turtle-feet better that way :D. Backward is a realtive term after all.

[vlad74]

NoteToSelf, Odhinn, Jason Belec - thank you.

[turx]

that's very cute!
I like the second(updated) one so much!

Looks like it's ready for a nice animation.
Please post more shots when you give some poses to him :)

[InvisibleGenie]

:D The scales look great. What aspects did you do in XSI? Keep it up!

[vlad74]

Turx -Thank you. I will post more when it is ready.
InvisibleGenie-Thanks. i used xsi only for the base cage and for setting up the uv's.

[rtwolfenstein@hotmail.com]

cool model it reminds me of something in the 3ds max 7 bible i dont kno if you've ever heard of it... There is also a turtle in the color insert pages

I think you should try to define more the area that makes the junction with the turtle and its body, i dont think it should look as much as if the shell was part of the body
i also think you should give a bit of character in the turtle's expression

:tu: :tu:

[vlad74]

Thanks for the suggestions Rtwolfenstein@hotmail.com. You are right,

[abraXas]

pose him skating, plz.

[Abyssis]

very nice job, vladko:tu: :D

[vlad74]

Thanks guys

AbraXas - I will.
Abyssis- díky moc :)
