Character modelling, a border I had not yet crossed until… last weekend!!
TUM! TUM! TUM!

That’s right, last week I encountered a tutorial that explained it all the basic modelling. It starts with the shape of the body, ,followed by the head, clothing, etcetera. This tutorial can be found here.

I haven’t followed the tutorial 100% the same way (Hey a man has got to have creativity!).

Overal I am pretty satisfied about the result. Frankly I wished I had taken the time earlier to do this kind of thing, I wonder if the animating proces will be as much fun… I seriously doubt it.

The reason why I’m trying to model a character is pretty simple. It is a goal I have set for myself, my one true ambition is to become a good modeller/animator. It is ironic though, I never believe that I am good at anything. And since I don’t think life has much use if you do not try to reach your own goals this means I’ll be learning and improving myself in this branche till I drop dead (only to re�ncarnate and continu what I started ).
I’ve added some renders of the model thus far. If anyone has tips, please do share them with me.

I have also bothered to update the links on my blog, I’ve added several 3D communities that I keep track of. An other category added contains the webcomics which I read on almost daily basis.
