Does he have man boobs?? make them a little less protruding, try tweaking with the toon shaders some more, it would look best like that. Have you tried making EP a bit translucent?? I like how you paint the "cencept"images kinda neat

#10

#11

well ive finished modeeling berts body, im gonna do his clothes next, i personally think these renders are really funny its up to u guys to decide that for urself

#15

err… there seems to be a lack of interested in this thread, what am i doing wrong?

#16

I like it. But I don’t like those eyebrows or that hair.

#17

Use particles.

#18

Well, this is not a super high res humanoid, it is a cartoon. Consider that many do not care about cartoons.

It looks very good. Maybe consider animating or doing more work before posting results.

#19

I THOUGHT CARTOONS WERE NICE AND FUNNY!! lol j/k

#20
