Hey. Pretty new to the Blender Artist Forums so if I’ve done anything wrong, crucify me for it.
Either way, came here to show off a character model for an alien that isn’t going anywhere and will probably get infrequent updates to it. The lighting is abysmal and it doesn’t loop properly though, so that’s definitely first on the list.
Was this rendered in Cycles or Blender Internal? Shadows like that usually don’t occur in Cycles (at least in my case). What is your lighting setup like and how many samples are you using? Overall, the modelling and animation aren’t too bad - I can see it really coming to life with materials and such. A longer animation might be needed here. The torso looks quite fat in comparison to the rest of the body, however this could be a design choice. Have you got any background in mind?
