:) Actually it's a weird habit of his. It's a candy cane, he always bites off the handle part first and then chews on both that and the stick.

Any truly memorable character benefits from some sort of "story" at the time of his or her design, I would say...

I believe its also beneficial when designing the character.

Definately both, a good idea of who you're working is important to make a more consistent character, which I think will agian make it easier to pick up for someone who never saw him before.

Hope I suceeded a little :D As you see I was going for the neurotic western hero type ;)

let me know if you notice issues (just noticed the belly button is way too high)

btw Hank seems to be a popular name for 3d models right now (cgtalk)

(Moderator edit - I placed the picture behind a nudity warning - HB)
(Moderator edit 2 - changed the original nudity warning to utilize the new nudity tag - HB)

Looks good...
So now we can expect an animation of the Thinker bursting into song and dance? :D

Probably 'Thinker with morphing targets' :) phase should go first :)

rray, is it Thinker created with SI only, or you used some sculpting app?

Softimage only. Planned on creating only the base mesh in SI and then move it over to ZBrush, but then the basemesh ended up being so detailed that wasn't even necessary anymore xD

Details on the rock he's sitting on are ZBrush though.

Thanks Nizar, I'm pretty sure I'll continue working on the Hank character.

If you're "merely" talking animation, I guess Hank would be a better starting point than the Thinker as it is too realistic, which makes animating it convincingly that much harder (the viewer expects more...).
The cartoony nature of Hank provides way more room for "error". ;)

(Picked up an old model here)

C&C welcome, especially how to make the face more female. Not sure yet what I'll do about the hair before I drop her on the turbo squid.
-rr

Missed this one earlier -
Moderator edit: removed the img tags from the Preview, as having a smaller preview of a picture under a nudity warning completely defeats the purpose of a nudity warning, as its smaller size doesn't make it less nudity... And yes, now there is a tag-less url floating around... - HB
