I really like the pose of the middle guy, he looks very serious. Nice work.

thanks for the replies
I redid the guy on the left, happy with him finally:

also upcoming update: made center guy asain-ish and redefined proportions and adjust fatty to look a little more like Winston Churchill, no seriously.

also not sure what to do with the ****y guy, might drop him in lue of someone else already present on this forum :slight_smile:

I know you’re sick of seeing these guys right? im sorry I know its just I have somewhat of a indecisive mind, and my heads rarely end where they start. I just like looking at my own progress. I enjoy seeing the cartoony characters they came from, and now with one suit started Im heading towards the end of modeling. when all suits are done I’ll be heading to maya for a whole slew of other problems :stuck_out_tongue:

anywho I said they’re would be an update and there is.

idk if the fast shader is a good way of showing it off, but oh well. I know fatty needs a little texture touch up but Ill worry about that when the time comes in maya.

Also I was playing around with the idea of replacing the smug guy, started a new sketch (very very rough) to block out the new one.
he’s not smiling, don’t know if thats something I should bring over from the other model.

here’s a group shot to compare it to, I promise the rough will look slightly different in the end, but the over all feel will hopefully be the same.

those 3 dudes would look great rendered.

That’s what I’m hoping. Just need to finish up the fourth. Any Crits

I like your heads, they are coming along nicely :+1:

gave him a smile like the earlier version:

[bobby.jpg](javascript:zb_insimg(‘194786’,‘bobby.jpg’,1,0))

dont know if he’ll stand out with others so bland. have to see

His eyelids aren’t smiling. That’s what we’d call a fake smile or forced smile - one that doesn’t involve the entire face, only the mouth. If that’s what you’re going for, swell but I would take that extra step and make the expression affect the whole face as it would in life.

That’s exactly what I’m going for, if you look at the group shot these aren’t happy people. The only reason why this guy is smiling is cause he’s smug and that’s just a facade in this case. So a fake smile was intended. A real hardy smile would contrast the others too much, maybe I’ll just give a hint of smile. I’ll figure out something.

However, now thinking about it, the reason why the cartoony version worked so well was because his smile was obnoxiously large. Maybe I should over play it. I’ll try it out

a quick skin test of the updated head:

gr8… :slight_smile:

EDIT: updated skin due to too much SSS
So I made some respectable skin maps, and came out with these:

Im also leaving the originals below for comparison

gah I’m spending soo much time on these guys :frowning:

the detail on the head looks good :+1:

The subsurface shader tho could be tuned down, way too strong.

thanks for the feed back. I adjusted the skin accordingly, though I did kind of like the lush feel the other one had. oh well I left both up

Nice style on these guys! the ears look wierd, like their buldging out at the top, idk if you did that intentionally, but just a heads up;)

well in all honesty the second guys ears will be covered. but yea you caught me:P obviously the quality of the ears does not match that of the rest of the head. I just got bored at that point haha
