reminds me a bit of LaserKarls stuff.
very nice :)

You actually think it looks a bit like LaserKarls stuff? That made me very happy to hear, because LaserKarl is one of my favorite artists around.

And mcfucklesthedog, you may have right about the thing that it looks like he is "hugging" the gun. But I´m too lazy to fix that. :P Thanks for your comment.

nah. i just made up a simple character that i could model a little more proffessionally, flatten out, and texture. Its the first time i ever did it so i needed something a little more simple.

What program is that? Give us some anti-aliasing ;)

Looks like that character could be really awesome if you render him out a little cleaner with some better lighting.

Yah, it was a fast render. i will see what i can do about lighting and such. I will post some more pics soon.

And i have been meanign to talk to you. I need to know how to move around the points in the graph editor. cant seem to find the buttons....

Anti Aliasing is what makes the edges not look pixelated. For a quick way to clean up your render a little bit, when you go to the render view, you'll see an icon in like the middle of it that is like the render button but is like more white or something... this will bring you to the "Render Global Settings," all the settings for rendering. Click the Maya Software tab near the top, and then in the settings there change the preset quality from preview to production.

Mmk. I would suggest you get acquainted with mental ray, and experiment with global illumination renders to get hyper realistic lighting and soft shadows.

How to move them? Well, you have to be in the move tool to change the tangents, and then if you want to just move the actual little dots, use the middle mouse button and move them.

If you just want to move them in one axis (like right/left or up/down rather than both axes), hols shift and then middle mouse button drag.

You know about digitaltutors.com right? They have a boatload of free helpful tutorials for maya. I suggest you get the maya basics DVD, unless you're confident in your fundamental skills. Then move on to a more advanced DVD to help your rendering skills.

Here's a really basic one on using the hypershade to create shaders for your objects:

Here are two more advanced ones on specifics of the hypershade:

http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/product.ph p?productid=92&cat=41&page=1

Here's one that will introduce you to Mental Ray, a terrific renderer that's built into maya:
http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/product.ph p?productid=49&cat=41&page=1

And if you ever get through all this and want a really advanced Mental Ray tutorial DVD, get this one, it explains a lot of really amazing stuff in Mental Ray:
http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/product.ph p?productid=2009&cat=41&page=1

Hope all that info helps :) Remember, they have a lot of free tutorials too, not just tutorials, so click on tutorials at the top, then maya tutorials and you'll have access to hundreds of great, helpful tutorials.

Thanks. I'll do that next time.

Right now i am using maya sofware, i will start using mental ray today, if you think i should. I gots alot of messing around to do im sure.

I am almost certain i tryed those already....oh well, i'll go try them again.

Well,

I am making a new site, and in the middle of some updates, which will hopefully all be done by about january next year, oir late this december, just a few little touch up. Im pretty lame, and I only use the mouse to draw, this is the current header of the website, and I like it, what does it need, can you make it look better, rate it, etc.

Ooo, it wouldnt fit, its a bit too long, so just go off to the following link, and Id say everything should be fine and dandy....

I think you're off to a good start, try burning and dodging a bit more to get that "skin" feel, but what you've done on the pants and hair looks especially good and the wall bit looks nice too. Here's another screenshot of my latest (it's not much):

Mostly looks pretty good 23450, but his face looks a little weird... like weird proportions

Since we're on the topic of water, I'd like to say that I just got RealFlow 4.0, a truly amazing 3D Fluid simulation program that integrates into maya (as well as other programs), and I've been playing around with it, and I came up with this:

ZOMG THE FLUID SIMULATION IS TOO AMAZING FOR MY EYES TO SEE
