Late as well Slosh but it is great seeing these lighthearted characters brought to life. I think it’s cool how the children of some of the members of the forum here admire your work as well.
Great work!

A late thanks to the late comments! And yes, I think the fact that peoples’s kids love the work is the thing that makes it worthwhile. I remember when I did the Wizard of Oz, I got a lot of people here and on Renderosity telling me how their kids love the picture.
Anywho, the wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tigger’s a wonderful thing…so here he is all by himself!
T.T.F.N.

He looks like the perky tigger we all know and secretly love ~G~ Super job, Slosh
Nice work on all of these. Certainly having fun, aren’t we? 
I had a question for you Slosh. Your first picture of Eeyore as a ZSphere looks like some of those spheres are flattened a bit. Is this true, or does it just appear that way due to the lighting? The reason I ask, is because I was trying to flatten one of those suckers last night, but it wouldn’t budge. They are tough little dudes! 
Edit: I went back and looked again and noticed the top view. They appear to be spheres. Just the shadowing I guess.
Yes, Dave, the ears are spherical in the unskinned version. It’s just the render that is misleading. I think someone else asked me this, too, and I didn’t realize they meant the unskinned version. Aurick suggested how to make refining easier when skinned. He says either turn off “autoresize” prior to skinning, or to use deform/resize XYZ a couple of times after skinning, before further modeling. He was right. This makes 100% difference in the ability to take the model further. It was exactly the question I have been asking since day one of testing, when seeing Southern and Mentat with high detail models. I couldn’t figure out how they did it, but now we all know!
Here is another version of the unskinned models, maybe it’s easier to see with the different material.
Awesome work, and especially nice job of capturing the manic and depressive attitudes of these two well-known characters, even in the Zsphere models.
Slosh…great work!
What exactly do you mean by unclicking Auto Resize to make skinning modelling easier? In fact, what does Auto Resize do?
cheers.
Hey Ken if you have your ZSphere tool, and uncheck Autosize, it prevents the mesh from becoming too fine…With a regular Sphere, or other tool, they are drawn at one Z-Unit in size, so all the brushes work sort of ‘in scale’ with the tool, so you can draw on the sphere to add features etc…A ZSphere will treat each sphere as one unit, thereby making a very fine mesh, hard to work on with any but the smallest brush size…When you de-select Autosize, it treats the whole ZSphere object as a unit size. Aurick explained it better, but if you make a simple ZSphere object, skin it with Autosize on, and off and then compare the meshes, you’ll see what I mean… 
Tigger looks great, Slosh. I love these. 
Very nice images, Slosh

I have to agree with Mentat… this is terrific story book illustration talent here…
Way to go, really nice job…
btw, being from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada originaly, ( the city “Winni” the Poo was named after), I sort of have a special place in my heart for these critters… thanx for sharing, it made my day…
What a nice reply, Gidgit! And I learned something as well. I had no idea of Winnie’s origin, namewise.
Hi Slosh…
yes the famous Winnie the Poo was a cub bought from a hunter in Northern Ontario by a Canadian WW1 soldier named Harry Coulboure… who was from Winnipeg Manitoba, a vet in civilian life, and was passing through the town of White River Ontario enroute to a war posting in France… anyways, as the story goes Harry buys the cub and names him after his home town… Winnie quickly became the brigades mascot… when they were posted to France, Harry left the bear cub at the London Zoo… another soldier in France, AAA Milne, who enjoyed writing and illustrating stories for children wrote the story of Winnie the Poo for his son Robyn… though there is reason to believe, from other sources, that Robyn in fact did not even know about such story until some sixty years later… hmmm?
So there ya have it… Pooh was born in Northern Ontario, but was named by the soldier Harry, for his home town of Winnipeg…
btw… are ya going to do a Pooh?
Dear
slosh;
i like the Eeyore he is very well done. I am
nine. I think you should do more of Eeyore.
Your work is better than most of the other
stuff. Itis good that you do nice things
instead of monsters.
Elise.
I am assuming Elise is your daughter. Tell her I said thank-you very much for her compliment, and I will try to do some more Pooh characters soon.
