Retarded bird

Hey all blender users,

I was cleaning my harddrive and I found some old artwork. I’d like to share one of those with you. I’ve rendered a new wireframe pic, so the camera angle is a bit different.

Comments and crits are welcome :smiley:

Lol, love the expression - looks funny

Wow, very cool ^^

That’s pretty slick. Its by far the simplist design I’ve seen latley but I think its also the best.

I don’t think he looks retarded. :smiley: To me his expression says that people underestimate him, thinking he’s dumb… but there’s more going on behind those big googly eyes that what anyone knows. :evilgrin:

And I agree with Sharper… nice and simple. Sometimes less is more. Also, sometimes people get so much into the complexity of a model (if that makes sense) that it loses its character (which this little guy has plenty of. :D)

Any plans to animate? I think he’d make a fun character…

First of all, thank you guys for your comments. Malevitsj once made a painting, which was only a black plane. He said it was the ultimate piece of art. This story proves artwork doesn’t have to be very complex, if the “soul” is strong in the artwork. If you love this artwork, please rate the thread.

Maybe, when I get some more experience at advanced rigging and weight painting, I’ll give it a try. I once had the idea of a animation short: “The bird that wants to fly”. I once made a cynistic looking pig for the Blender Week Day Challenge (I won :D), so that one can be the second character. I’ve got some little animation experience, but I never animated birds. I’ll keep this one in mind…
