Bracercom V2 Mascot - Polyloop

Bracer · 15th June 2007, 11:47

Time to work on the new version of my portfolio site.

Very important to me as I'm looking for a job now, currently available as freelance artist for 3D graphics, architecture visualization & web design. I can be contacted at bracercom@hotmail.com.

What you are seeing here is the Bracercom Version 2 mascot that is going to play host to my site once it's completed.

A couple of sketches were done to rough out the look of my mascot.
The finalize version is the one that I had compiled into a single piece of schematic view.

I tend to finalize the look of my design in the "sketching" stage because once I get into the actual schematic drawing that I will use as a base template for my modeling, I will be more obsess with the different views lining up correctly than anything else

================================================== ============================

I sometimes feel that the whole purpose of character creation is to play with their hair as I love playing with it very much. I wish I'll get to work as a digital hair styler, however I'm more concern with getting a job in the very first place as I'm still looking for one.

A temporary Rig was enough for me to create this piece of work that I had in my mind for a while.

The story:
He is leaving his home to pursue his dreams and he is looking back at his family & friends waving back at him.
Though sad, he had to potray a strong look to comfort his crying mum.
Unfortunately, his eyes betrayed him.

I often engage in a staring contest with the computer during the hair test, the computer always wins. Ha Ha Ha
================================================== ==========================

Forgive my craziness, but here goes:

The Story:
After clicking the “export to real life” button [a plug-in from God.inc], the mascot materializes in front of me.
In my joyfulness I say to the mascot: “Hi…”, still stun by what I’ve created breathing in front of me I continued: “I’m your creator, you can call me Bracer”.

He stared at me, then he blinked, expressionless, tilted his head, look around.
I asked him: “What do you want to do? Is there anything I can get you?”

He nods his head vigorously, conveying a sense of agency. Then start running around my house, finally stop inside the toilet.

Ha, my mascot wants to poop!
“Strange, I didn’t model any thing inside his stomach…must be some stray vertices” I though to myself.

He keeps on jumping on the seat, he have no ideal how to use it!
I don’t even think he realize he must take off his pants first!
Of course I proceed to help him.

What do you think comes out from his butt?
================================================== ========================

Ladies & Gentlemen, Bracercom Version 2 Is Completed.
Come Please, Enjoy :D

================================================== ========================
Shogun Pose !

================================================== ========================
When I create this humble mascot for my Bracercom V2 portfolio site, I have no idea that it will end up as front cover in the PHOTOSHOP MAGAZINE signifying my first international exposure in the printed media !

This is history for me, it makes me feel very...very honored and very humbled that the recognition finally starts to happen.

It really brings me back 6 years ago to the time where I'm just getting into this field with joy and love for the nature of 3D and all that it can bring forth from the imagination.

Somewhere along the line I give up on the need to get Approval from people though I still suffers from it every now and then.

Years passed...nothing happens...but I didn't stop doing 3D...

I can't stop it, I love it. It's my life. 3D is my life. I had no idea it had became my life. Living in a daze...living in my own passion...

and POPS ! What do you know, suddenly I'm front cover in an international magazine !

Maybe it is true, you just follow your heart.
The world will take care of itself.

Thanks to everyone that had ever supported me and believe in me.
Thank you Jesus :D

sadot:
Excellent, its a very good start, It looks like there is no hole on the mouth at this point (I don´t know if that is the intention). I like the eyebrowns and the soft skyn. Nice design.
================================================== ======
Thank you sadot, just to let you know the model had the capacity to open his mouth because his lips are not "weld" together & his teeth model is already done.

He have realistic human type teeth, but I'm still thinking whether I'll ever had the opportunity to show that due to the characteristic I intended for him :D

Thanks. :D

Snake 972 · 15th June 2007, 20:01

Again a nice work.

View your other creation, I know that it will as good than other.
vivaciously you finish it.

crazy wabbit · 16th June 2007, 01:57

Bracer it looks good , but the blue eyes do not go with the face.

Bracer · 17th June 2007, 17:20

Crazy Wabbit !
Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I understand how you can see it that way because the blue is too striking alone.

The character is designed as a whole.
When the full figure is completed with his blue armour,
the whole look will "tie in". That is my intention.

For all you know it might still not work out :D
That's where you'll be here to let me know right ?

ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
:D

solt · 17th June 2007, 17:43

Well, personally it reminds me some rubber dolls that my little sister had long time ago. The contrast between the soft, pastel and matte colors of the rubber head with the deep transparent and colored plastic eyes was as striking as what we see here ... I like it ...

Well, sincerely i didn't modeled it by myself ... It is a icon that i have dowloaded from a icon's Web site long time ago ... On that site we could download different packages of icons of the same kind ... Lately i was looking in old folders, not really sarching for something specific and found it. So i have decided to change my avatar for this one ... My old avatar was made from a picture of a rhinoceros sculpture that i had photographed at the door of the Orsay Museum at Paris ...

Sorry for my bad english ...

I have made a little research and found the website where i have found the icons ... Here is the link ... Middle of the page ...

Bracer.
I do not want to appear a knocker because your imagery work is very nice. Is the concept/imagery really up to the level that would grab an employers attention?

You may want to have a look at this site and study the 2D,3D and Animation work of others.

love your setup and your thinking progress, your model is looking good each day, great job, your very talented.

Honestly...I think...no...I'm not good enough. There are things that if you are honest with yourself, you'll know and in this case I know

Well, I can give up about getting into the industry...or I just keep on pump up lor

Well, God don't expect us to succeed, cause that's up to him, but he expects us to try. Don't you think so bwtr[How to pronounce that anyway :D] ?

My Dear crazy wabbit, I look forward to seeing your work !
Are you like really busy ? I look through all your post and no WIP !!!!
Quick! You tell me you believe in Carrara right ? You....you want me to reap off those dangling ears of yours ?

bwtr · 22nd June 2007, 08:16

bwtr is just my initials so not pronouncable as a word!

I was not critsizing what you are doing. Just wanted to ensure that you were clear on the standards you need to aim for.

Keep up the good work.
