Heres a couple of works that were for a competition that is held in my old university which is called the “Iron Man”, your given a subject and told to draw or create it for the next week, those that dont make it in time get removed and the contest continues.

Heres the two characters I designed for the competition which was “wwhat animal would you see the heads of the society as?”

This is Bob , hes a portly gent that seems to be able to get people up and moving without managing to get on peoples goat. So I looked at his shape and expressions and thought he reminded me of a penguin, after a few sketches I got down to building him. It was box modeling done for the body, the head and fins have 3dsmax hair applied and the yellow streaks are alpha maps hair pieces. (On a side note, the reason the butter symbol is rendered odd is that I ran out of time to re-texture the t shirt again, so I added to the front of the another alpha mapped heart which was applied as close as possible, the rendering came out a little odd but it worked in a pinch), (also the guy LOVES butter so thats why its there).

Character two was done quickly for another of the team called Morty, she was and is a furry fan and has her persona done as a cat so I decided to use her face and referances of her character and designed the head.

I had little time to add the rest of the character so concentrated on the hair effects and styling of the head.

She was much more of a rush job so there are bits I would prefer to fix like the ears and hair style but since I only had hours not days to work on it I went with the simple option for this one.

The end result was a small applause from the group, funnily one of the students wanted to know if I was a student, I mentioned that I was a graduate and they immediately waved the work off as if I had cheated some how! I didn’t know whether to be pleased or annoyed :p
