Thanks guys, and yes I did work with the colors a little. As you can see, I've finally got Lil' Punky completed. I wish I had more time to go back and detail everything out further, but since I'm working a lot of overtime at work and time is swinging by, I'll have to keep things basic until I have all of my assets completed.

If I have the time I'll go back and detail eveything out better.

great work!

**Marsyas** · 10-11-07

That pumpkin dude is looking great! the colours are much better, can't wait to see it finished.

I've been watching this post since day one, Woody, and have waited to comment because I don't know what to say. The character is absolutely well done. He is very dynamic and colorful...makes me think about old video games for some reason...like he's the character and he gobbles up candy treats as you progress through the levels. I really like you style and the skill you show with colors and posing.

Thanks everybody, and thankyou Slosh.
That means a lot coming from an experienced modeler like yourself.

I've always loved and have been facinated by 3D modeling, but never could afford the "good" software to get into it. I'm still a hobbyist and novice and have always wished that I had gotten into character modeling long ago and perhaps make a career out of it.

Now that I'm at the age to afford the tools I'm going to enjoy it the best I can while I can still see and my aching back holds up lol.

Best of luck to everybody!

Excellent work Woody, love the character and the concept thus far!

KOSOVA · 10-13-07

Looking great. I like the concept sketch a lot. The point of view is working realy good and I hope you stay true to it in your final Composition.

**-WOODY-** · 10-13-07

Jason Belec: Thanks Jason, I appreciate that.
KOSOVA: Thanks to you too KOSOVA, I'm trying my best to keep to the "feel" of the sketch. Not always easy to translate 2D to 3D and keep the same look and feel.

This is just a quick update showing the 3 adult pumpkin heads that will be in the background. I created these a little differently than I did Lil' Punky cause I'm trying to save on time and keeping my ram manageable.
Lil' Punky was created using the extract mesh function which looks good, but it sticks you with a high mesh count.

cool pumpkin heads

**Marsyas** · 10-14-07

Great heads! Looks like you're sticking to the feel of your sketch very well.

**-WOODY-** · 10-14-07

Thanks guys, but to be honest, I'm not really happy with them. We're almost halfway through to the end of the competition so I'm trying my best to cut corners just to get it done.

My latest snippet of an update just shows the adult hands that I've been workiing on. I took a basic set of hands created in ZBrush then posed and detailed them in 3 various poses of expression to show amazement, surprise, and fear. I'll start work on the adult bodies after this using the base body mesh of Lil' Punky.

**dustbin1_uk** · 10-14-07

Don't be so hard on yourself you doing better than me at the moment!

Maybe the pumkins just need not be so....urm.....realistic...... ah..... how to explain this.....

Maybe add some expression features like creases around the mouths and furrows between the eyebrows....... or am I just being daft?

**fizzy** · 10-14-07

I think the hands are spot on. Reckon your final piece will be pretty damn good.
