Contest Entry - No idea What I gonna do (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

This is just a shape I am playing around with

Well you're much farther along than a cube or a sphere, so your "shape" is already becoming a character.    
Welcome to the contest, and thanks for participating!  

My sculpt is offically done , Its a pickle soldier

Dear Brinecycling,

 Great notion - Army needs guys like that, especially in tough situations like 'being in a ...
jam'. lol

 I initially thought it was regimental sergeant Peanut ... well known to those who have attended boot camp.

 Is that a sprout, or is he just happy to be here?

Cheers, welcome - great character.

Rick.

Here is my final shaded version . I am also currently rigging this guy .Thanks for the Kinda words RxLnx . Yeah the army does need some pickles so we can relish our freedom LOL

LOL ... yes - I do not seem to recall being offered relish on the mess tray.

 Could put an MP band on his arm to increase popularity, and I expect Mae West's spirit is still watching developments, to see if it sprouts.

 Bonus being - if Ms Foxy has a Vegan sub-category ... would seem your guy is the (only) star attraction.

 Option would be to consider the Brit's. They used to have Nepalese units (very effective) ... "Gerkins?" (or something along those lines).

 Cheers,
 Rick.

Yeah teh Brigade or Gurkas - good read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigade_of_Gurkhas

I did a full rig of this character as well.

This guy definitely gets points for uniqueness. 
And he looks tasty, too!    

Here is my really final render . I wanted to add some sweat to him and a bit sad .

Looks good (spirit of Mae West thinks it could look better) ...

 If he'd been in the Middle East, might get a bit of a tan or yellow hue and grow a bit ...

 Plus was thinking about this Black and White TV show (1960's) called "Combat" ...
with a star called "Vic Marrow"!

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks , I am hoping its good enough to be in the winning group but IDK , there are some really great artists on here .

He's quirky - so no matter what - if you put him in the shop here, you'll make heaps anyway.

Frankly because he's so original and quirky - you'll get a lot of interest/sales. Should do a series of them, because cafe's and restaurants/take-aways will be looking for that sort of thing for their wen pages/menus ... on account Covid will be around for a while and they'll be going drive-thru (thus need catchy updated web menus).

World is your oyster (next character?) ....

While speaking of seafood, have you tried the seafood diet?
(See food - eat it).

Cheers,
Rick.
{Brine is interesting too - you in reverse osmosis or shrimp growing?}

O I got at least 100 of these guys already made , this was the latest one , and my favorite one so I used it to enter the contest . I am currently making a film with them . Yeah the seafood diet is really good to . Whatever I sees I eats me some good stuff .LOL I just hope people like the character.

Here is the grey rendered version .Always good to doa  grey version to see if the forms and shapes look good then I end up doing the shaded .

Here is the other variation of the character

He's an interesting guy, that's for sure!    
Thanks for sharing.  

Thanks Foxy .

Here is the wireframe Turntable . If I have enough time I will do a full rig showcase as well.

Here is the fully rigged model as well

Here is the second version fully rigged as well

Cool! Looks like he's ready to star in the next upcoming video game!    
Thanks for sharing this.  

Thanks , I am glad people seem to like them . I worked hard on them and tried to make them funny for people . Though when it comes to getting them to move they will need some sour personalities LOL

Looks like we are coming down to the end now . So many great characters in this contest .I wish everyone the best of luck

I figured I would do a short animation with him and see how it looked

Haha - cute!   

Good luck to everyone who entered the contest . This was a great time for myself and there were so many great entries . My hats off to everyone who entered .GOOD LUCK

Thank YOU for participating! And thank you, also, for engaging in other threads, too. I was hoping there would be more interaction like that. I guess people are a little shy.  
Do you think you could post your final render(s) again, so they appear toward the end of your thread? Thanks again, and have a great day!  

Sure absolutly foxy . This contest was so fun . I wanted to comment on others because there are so many great entries.This was my final render and submission.

Perfect. Thank you!

I am getting excited now to see the results . Just gotta wait it out I guess.

I guess it was spot on then ? LOL
