Homer J. Simpson

[LWTB]

This is a project im working on. Im trying to create a model of Homer Simpson from the TV Show "The Smpsons"

I worked for about 20 minutes to model part of the head. Its no finished yet but i slapped a default material and some colour onto it. Heres what i have so far.
I still need to smooth out some wrinkles around his nose and neck.

(no eyes yet)

an awesome homer!!! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[LWTB]

Thanks for all the replies.
Im testing out some material on him. Im not sure if I want him to be cartoony or 3D.

Heres a test with some material and i added some eyes. I need to get the eyes positioned better.

I also slightly widened his head. It look better now?
I think that once i get his head just right, the rest of his body will fall into ZPlace
(by the way: anyone have any tips for making a collar on a shirt? his folds over kind like this |_/\/\_| and im not sure how to do that.)

When I needed to do a collar for my Tail 'Gator image, I used a cube which I had flattened in the ZAxis in the deform pallette. I then tapered it and then did a smooth bend on it. I then did a little more editing using transform mode. Voila! A pointed collar.

I hope this description of my process for that was clear.

Your Homer is great. :tu: I personally like it with the cartoon edges like you have here.

[Ron Harris]

very nice update....and he is looking extremely Homerish :D :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: and didnt he have like two or three hair strands across the top? couldnt remember...hmmmmm still looks good though

[LWTB]

Yah. He has 2 hair strands on the top and zig-zags along the side of his head. I havent added them in yet.
:D

THanks for the tips WO. Ill try them out later :)

Very nice LBTW. If there's anything that I would work on, it would be the nose

[Northstarr]

:tu: :tu: :tu:

[Grub]

Well done!, he looks spot on. :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Stonecutter]

Perfecto!!! I think the head, and the face is on the money...!!! :D

:tu: :tu: :tu: :cool: :tu: :tu: :tu:
And I think the Toon shading effect is very appropriate! ;)

[DeeVee]

Nice update, this project is coming along quite nicely.

[The Saint]

Excellent use of "toonshader".

I'm a big fan of Homer!
