Flit done

ok so i haven't been posting anything my bad. i have had flit almost done for quite a while now but i had a few things to tweak and the skin to finish. really i was just procrastinating. anyway here he is. i might rig him next term or whenever. we'll see. there are several things i might go back and tweak later if i have time.

there he is Flit in all his wonderfulness. still tweaking to do of course. there's always tweaking to do. still now that he has both halves of himself, he's looking so much more complete then he did before.

i have been doing things i swear.

i haven't been posting here that much mainly because what I've been working on for the most part has been the comic and that get's posted on it's own site. the good news is that that's done now or at least the Halloween arc is i still need to figure out when i'm going to start the next chapter. I've also worked on Flit though i don't have any pictures. it's coming along nicely. though now that it's November and Nano is taking up my time as well i don't know how things will go.

Flit

Well i've finally gotten around to working on flit. before i was having trouble with the pictures, in the book it says t0 use a front and a side view, and i was doing fine with the side view but i couldn't manage to draw him from the front, at least not while standing, i can draw him sitting down from the front but that's not what i needed. then today i realized i didn't need to draw him from the front just from a diferent viewpoint, so i drew him from the top and that worked great. then i just need to remember to select and move groups of verts rather then trying to move them one at a time and it worked until Maya decided to stop working.
so i didn't get the whole three hours done, only two and a half. at least i'm farther along then i was.

refrences for Flit

the closest real animal to flit is a cat, he's about the same size and apart from the ears and tail he's built like a cat, so here are some cat pictures.

a better picture of Flit

it's not colored but the proportions are better.

The Plan

Ok here is the plan for my project.
As soon as they get the computers up i'm going to start building Flit in Maya.

My goal is to build and rig a low poly model of Flit for a game environment.
if i finish early i plan to build a landscape for him to play in, and start animating jumps a run cycle, and other things like that.

Flit:
flit is a small purple creature. his body structure is smiler to a cat but he is leaner with slightly longer legs and a tail like a lions. his ears are closer to a rabbits then a cats.

ok that's not the best picture but but there it is and there are plenty of pictures of him in the comic so go look at The Realm of my Roommates Closet (link in sidebar)
