First work posted here (finally a piece which make me proud of it :o).
I just started it as a doodle, but its resemblance with one of my favourite Simpsons character lead me to improve topology and to play with particle system.
It was very very funny!
Hope you like it.
Please C&C.
[edit] Updated version with a more evil look.
Wow! looks great, how did you do that hair?
Few hours on particle system man :D:D:D
I used most part of this time to understand how hair system works and to make some test on children generation and effects which you can apply.
Hair type with children particles enabled and braid effect worked fine so I decided to tweak a little by hand using (the amazing) particle mode to adjust single dreadlocks pose, length etc.
Finally rendered with strands with a simple shader+color ramps.
Looks fantastic. I also totally love the hair, but also your light setup
But isn’t he called Sideshow Bob?

:eek::eek::eek:
Yes, you’re totally right, I’ll edit as soon as possible.
Sorry but my english is not so nice… 
o:o
LOL, funny guy! Great hair!

The best 3D Simpsons character I’ve ever seen … good job!
Came so close to being my new background, but quite fond of the xkcd comic I’ve got. Very nice work!
I was wondering why he doesn’t look ‘evil’ enough although it is an interesting facial expression. Hope you don’t mind, I had a bit of a play in Photoshop. Tweaked the brow and mouth shape a little and he seemed slightly cross eyed.
Anyway, take what suggestions you like, it is a very nice piece. Well done!
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you like it.
You’re totally right BenDansie. Indeed he has a bad nice-guy looking smile.
I’ll follow your suggestions and I’ll try to add some particular on pose/background too.
Suggestions and critics like these are very very very appreciated and needed.
I hope entire community can help me grow up and improve my skills.

this is TOTALLY AWESOME - no crits just had to say that
Someone can tell me how to change thread title please? It’d have to be Sideshow and not Showside.
Any mod can help me?
just hit edit under the first post and then go to advanced edit - you should see a text box with the title in it so you can alter… 
I thought it was just a clever title! leave it as it is, it’s funnier!
Really enjoyed the piece by the way!
Thank you a lot scdelf.
Anyway… I just play a little with face espression and add a knife which he’s tryin’ to hide. Maybe now he looks more “evil” than before.
Waiting for your feedbacks guys.

LOOOOL
too late Michael :D:D:D I just edit it!
Speaking as the devil :
Where is Bart ??! Come here boy !
I know the french version of the Simpsons ('cause I’m french).
The hair is perfect but the skin seems a bit too " lambert", I think use of oren-nayar is better.
Very nice work !
Good tip weilynn, I’ll try and I’ll show results. Thank you very much.
Thanks to everyone watched and rated this thread too.
I think this is one of the best 3D versions of any Simpsons character I’ve seen. He clearly looks 3D, yet you managed to keep him in enough style. Great job.
I think I prefer the first version more, I think the expression in the first is enigmatic, the viewer has to engage and make some effort to read the expression and is therefore required to “engage” with the piece…
The second is less complex, the smile , though not with the eyes: obviously insincere, the threat of the hidden weapon…
I find it less powerful somehow…
in the second shot just manic.
LoL !
Great hair! yap you can be proud now!
I hope to see an animation for this!
