Hi all Do any of you mind helping me my "Mad Scientist" design? what features should i put to portray evil, mad, and genius ? Need advice on what clothing he should wear and what to simplify (since it will be used for animation). Would love sketches of what u have in mind but nvm if thats asking too much. (it seems i've made some ppl angry asking for them, sorry Wagner, sorry Drew).

As much as I'd like to do your project for you I'm going to have to pass. So sorry. Rolling Eyes

thz neff, that gave me some ideas Smile

the newest one looks the best i think. although i noticed on the first idea's 3/4 view that the jaw's shape is different from the shape of the other views, so i'd make sure you don't do that, heh.

i want to see the finished animation when your done Very Happy

K, here we go again! The host works now Smile

old sketches and model sheet

new model sheet i showed the lecturer

Model sheet of approved character

quick facial expressions

I think i need advice on the facial expressions, some of them just don't work. the more exaggerated the better Anybody know any good references for this?

i think some of the emotions don't work becuase they don't fit the personality of the character.

from what it looks like some of his expressions are like they are from a completely different character from the others. i think you should keep him looking evil and mean through out all of the emotions to keep him consistant.

i hope i helped
