im not that good at character modeling but this is my best try to bring this guy into the 3d realm.

the eyes look kinda chinese, make them more rounded so you get a more cartoon like look.

Also, comparing with the logo, the eyebrows are to separate, and in the logo they look closer.

Dont try to imitate human likeness, i think your goal is a cartoon look.

hehe thanks. i found they were too chinese too. i had been fighting with them for a while now to get them rounder. ill go back to trying again hehe

Looks really great but his head is shaped more like a pear. Look at the profile in the illustration. You've almost got the cheeks but just a little more out and smoother too. Looks like his hair is supposed to be white and the mustache and eyebrows black?

WOW

it is good to see the chefette mascott (best fried chicken and roti anywhere)brought to life.....
is this for the restaurant or just a challenge........
i think it may help to add the bow tie to complete the model......
as always, nice work

didnt know we had other bajans in here. Are you currently living in barbados or you live abroad? And yeah. its for the restaurant.

As for the head maybe i might do a ffd to everything at the end to get it more pear shaped. once i can get the eyes to a point where im happy with them. The bowtie will come in due time.

That's a good idea. Should work like a charm

Nice character!!!

very very LOL!!!

[Da_elf]

here is an update on my character

[timmatron]

Looks a lot better. But I think he doesn't look as happy as he does in the logo. I'm not good at being able to tell what it is, but I'm thinking maybe its something having to do with the eyes.

Pretty nice though - I'd never be able to make something like that.

[J_Bug]

Haha, much more baker like
Everything's looking good, I especially like how the eyes are going.

One crit is that his skin looks a little too tan for those rosy red cheeks.

[Da_elf]

he's alive!!!
ALIVE!!!

Great job, your facial animation looks to be timed just right with the head movement So what technique did you use to model the hair? One last crit would be that the red on the cheeks is a little low IMHO.
