Cheapy's modelsy and stuff

[Cheapy]

I wanna turn.

Soon, i'm gonna crank out something new (yes, it's red and it has wings), but for now, feast your eyes on what I did last year:
 

I didn't do everything though. I made the model to start with, but since I sucked at UVW's, MoP did that. And since I sucked at animations, MoP did that.    And also since I sucked a little at modeling, MoP touched it up a little. The skin's totally mine and it's got a unique style that still love today, even as a WIP skin that's not so detailed I could call this final. Pretty satisfied with it.

Well, you're doin' better than me. All I've got so far is about 3 hours worth of a line drawing done.  Did you do the skin with Paint Shop Pro.?

[JohnRomeroWorshiper]

looks really good cheapy, but two questions, whjo is MoP?

and that gun, is it from unreal?

[Cheapy]

JRW: MoP is another artist     and that's q3a's grneade launcher

Krado: Paint Shop Pro 5 and Milkshape3D 1.5.1.

A year after this I could pretty much do an entire player model by myself now.

have ytou managed to put that awesome looking gargoyle into any game yet? i really like it, its skin tecture of the wings (light pink fleshy) is really 'realsitic' and good looking too

[Cheapy]

Well, as you can see in the shot above MoP put him into Q3A. I've tried putting him into Half-Life (as constantly flying) but the gun was pointing in the wrong direction. I've tried Quake and it worked. Bascially if I put it in a game w/o skeletal animation it would work. I've only done this for Quake1 though.

I did give the jHeretic port of the model to jaako last year and we both lost it  

[JohnRomeroWorshiper]

i think of pocurse that gargoyle is based on the heretic 1 gargoyle, so therefore it implies that the Heretic 1 gargoyule is your favourite gargoyle of all time! more proff is , you always use it as your "hug me": grmelins, and sometimes your avatar is it or basede on it oo  

[Cheapy]

Correct, but this model/skin's a take on a more stylized focus and I try to make it evil and cute at the same time (makes him huggable)  

[thugcore]

Great work ... I like it a lot!

[Pyros]

Looks pretty good!

[thezombieman]

It is really a great work.
I like it very much Cheapy.
Are you good at drawing? I always have thought that you have to be good at drawing for being good at modeling so I never have tried modeling as I totaly suck at drawing.

Some of the best 3d modelers I know are absolutely terrible when it comes to illustration or simple sketching, as their mind has a hard time switching to a two dimensional medium.  That's not to say drawing skills aren't an important part of the process, they certainly can be (try explaining what you see in your head to a team without visuals), but they are something you can develop with hard work and practice.

[thezombieman]

Oh! I never thought it could be that way.
I am not sure of being able of thinking in 3D without do it before in 2D, that probably explains why I never finish my models.
