Title: side + front view comparison
Post by: BorisZ on Sun 24/07/2005 19:32:27
Do you think that looks like the same guy in the side and front view?

Any other C&C's?

It looks a lot like Philip J. Fry. http://www.gotfuturama.com/Information/Encyc-6-Fry/

Unmistakeably so.

Look, its fine to use other characters, drawings, real life for inspiration, but if you are to obviously take so much, you need to definitly clarify the original author, even though you didnt really ask specifically on critics on the front view.

And I wouldn't suggest using this image of Fry to learn from, since its hardly a true normal side view. He's almost shrugging, and its hardly a pose anyone would normally hold for awhile, so I dont suggest using this as a real side view for your character, unless its a static character who shrugs a lot.
-------
The feet in the side view need to be made rounder near the front, I dont care for how straight the legs look, and how close they are. I  also didnt care for how straight down the jacket came, but I suppose its alright. His head, though, seems to have shrunk in the side view creation, and his body seems a bit too big for how thin his legs come together.

These are just pointers of ways to take this mocked up char. I hope it helps.
