fancharacter: beamer

[beamer]

here's my namesake character beamer. a transforming bmw z4 (formerly z3) roadster. he's your typical young hotshot type character... hot headed with a desire to lead. he however is somewhat of a loaner and a daydreamer. his aloofness gets him into trouble on the battlefield quite often. he's usually flanked by his partners polaris and rodeo. (but... i may just have to show them later).

 

anywho... i'm happy with this i think. this is the most believable design i've had for him since i made him some 7 or 8 years ago (holy crap! he's old!... no... I'M OLD!). the basic things i ALWAYS keep however are his grin/smirk, big optics, and attitude. mostly character things i guess rather than athetics. hehe.

 

ANYWAYS....

Dynamic pose, cool 'forced perspective'. I like it.

ra88> can ya be more specific? i didn't know i had a problem with wheels. (otherwise, your crit doesn't help much... thanks for the smileys though. O.o)

great pose and the drawing is excellent. :thumb

Well, the wheels are just to dull, no real ridges and don't look anywhere near as realistic as the rest of the figure.

No prob, Beamer. But damn, if everyone keeps expecting major critism from me, I should ask a penny everytime it happens... :tflaugh

Overall a nice sketch, however the weight looks unbelievable if placed on the right toe. If might help if you added a terrain, but still that pose would suggest he is in mid-leap.
