THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:

ARROGANT CLERK PLANT MALE
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: OCTOBER 14, 2009 - 11:59pm

THE RULES

1. Each challenge is 1 week long. It will start every Thursday morning, and will end the next Wednesday night at 11:59pm. If no one does the week's challenge, it will continue into the following week(s), until someone submits something for that challenge.

2. You can use any software package(s) that you want to build your character, but it must be built in 3D. If you have done a drawing of your character, you can only submit it with you 3D image.

3. NO LATE ENTRIES will be allowed. So, if you're not completely finished by Wednesday night, just post whatever you have before the deadline. This is a timed challenge, so to make things fair, if you post a late entry, it will have to be removed.

4. Each character will be concocted from a list of descriptive words from the following 4 categories: Adjective, Profession, Character, and Gender. A word will be randomly and blindly picked from each category and put together to form the character that will be worked on that week.

5. For now, there will be no poly or texture limitations on any of the characters. Later on, there will be challenges with various limits and restrictions.

6. Final delivery can be an image or animation. If you’d like to post your model and textures for people to look at, there will be a way provided.

7. All art needs to be your own property and not infringe on protected material. You can also use any pre-existing models or textures that you have previously built - as long as you own the rights.

They can't seem to BEAR each other... HAHAHA!!

For as simple as these guys look, they actually took a lot more time than I thought they would. I felt guilty doing a simple teddy bear, so I ended up doing multiple to make me feel better. :)

I also snuck my signature in here. My initials are RGB. That is also the initials for the Red Green Blue color channels used in computer image reading. You'll notice that the bears are red, green, and blue. Clever... eh? I've done it in several other pieces of my artwork.

I don't know whats better the art or the puns. It's the art, it's nice to see even cute cuddly teddy bears lose it. Do you model the characters posed or do you rig them and then pose them?

Thanks for the nice words, chaps!

Shawn - Thanks for the nice comments on the facial expressions. I liked them too, but they took me longer than they should have, because I made the rooky mistake of modeling it originally in a smile, instead of a neutral expression.

Dusty - Thanks for noticing the fabric texture. :) I actually created the pattern by hand - it was a more time-consuming that I thought it would be.

Brandon - Long time, no see! My process for building these guys was model, rig, then pose. It was the easiest and fastest way for me to handle multiple characters. Though, I tend to always model my characters in a neutral pose - even if I'm only going to use them for one pose. Force of habit, I guess.
