Just curious to see what other art talents we have in here. Post up some fun you've had making characters and models of your own. Here are a couple recent ones i've been playing with. My old jetta, miss it sometimes. Almost done. Remember this guy? Sentinal from the matrix Lil icon character i through together

All kidding aside, the models look fantastic. :)

Here are a few things i've done in the past, most of them are just practice. i linked to the pics to make this thread a little more dial-up friendly for others :)

not bad, i'm actually quite jealous :) humans are the only things i can't model (along with other humaniod type models), i've been practicing though, do you know of a good human modeling tutorial?

I'm not even an artist, my man; just a programmer. All it takes is a lot of practice. Helps to use a reference however... preferably a 3D one.

well the fact that you're not even an artist makes me feel much better .... :)
i guess i'll just give it more practice.

This is my latest, from scratch, theres a CandC thread around here somewheres about it, also, you have to maximize the picture because its pretty big.

Jarrod1937, humans are easier than would be thought, its really just proportions that are hard, good luck. (oh yeah, I would suggest the joan of arc tutorial for starting out)

Its funny, I saw the title of this thread (who creates characters from scratch?), then the creator's post consisted of 3 works from unoriginal concepts (albeit impressive and good looking work). Just thought I'd point out that small bit of irony.

Not to hijack a thread, but who here creates their own models from their own concepts?

Also, I found modelling humans MUCH easier once I took a figure-drawing course. And learn anatomy. Having the best reference in the world isn't a substitute for knowing bones, muscle groups, etc., what's going on under the skin (as well as proportions).

well did you take a look at my pics? almost all were from my imagination.
i guess i'll give humans a try again soon. I really want to be able to model them but each time i try it never turns out too well.
