Japhir - www.surfline.com

good resource for more then the current swell. I'd alter his board shorts to give his package more room, and probably lengthen them down to his knees. You can give him a hemp necklace with a shell in the middle for an accessory.

http://www.akasurfboards.com/boardline.htm has a good variety of boards, if you plan to give him one. Personally I'd go for a short thruster or a fish, but you could go old school and give him a 9'0 long board.

A little WIP-tournaround:

[Dock Rock]

Hey Japhir great lookin model so far! You should maybe use some of those tri's for a pair of beach sandals (Just a thought, unless you want to save that strictly for the textures).

Hey Styx Love the concept and work so far! My only suggesstion is it seems his arms might be a little far separated across his chest, you might want to bring them into the hot dog bun more so it looks like his arms are protruding from the costume as opposed to building right off of the sides of the bun.

Sordid23 lookin good so far! I like the design of the head in the concept a lot, I look forward to seeing that in the final model. Nice topolgy!

Everyone jumped on this so fast! I meant to enter the last one but I was too slow haha! I barely had my concept finished by the end of the first week.

Look foward to everyones entries!

[Japhir]

thanks for the crits guys!
update (in link form spammy spammy).
i won't add his surfboard, since liberty city doesn't have any beaches so it would be kindof pointless. thanks for the links nazeil! i lowered the shorts and gave him the shell, the texture will handle the rest of the necklace.
dock rock: thanks! i'm gonna add those in the texture.

Japhir- Hey man I do think the surfer works, but if you really want it to fit, you could give him a shorty style wet suit cause if Liberty City is suppose to be NYC, then theres no way he would be riding w/o a wet suit. And a shorty is nice cause you it cuts off at the elbow and knees so it wouldnt cover up too much of ur character. To me cause I surf, if I saw a surfer wearing a wet suit in GTAIV rather than your Cali style surfer w/ boardshorts, I would find that more fitting for the location. Otherwise maybe flip flops, sun glasses, and possibly some necklaces. Just FYI:thumb:

[Sectaurs]

If I do this, I'm totally doing Azis

[Sectaurs]

[Cold]

[yoyomon]

Sectuars: That's Hot!

I'm probably gonna jump in. I'll probably do a bum or a street musician.

[nazeil]

started a concept, still a WIP. hope to wrap it up tomorrow.

[DreameR]

gonna do a really retro clothed jogger (sweatbands, headband, bumbag etc).
I saw a guy like this when i was last in NY and thought he looked awesome.

WIP


looking at the viewport, i think i need to make the shorts REALLY short... :think:

[bb0x]

heres my start concepting..

[C Wong]

Wow, there are some funky ideas going on in here. Really like spectuars idea. You are very brave. I've decided to scrap the hobo idea and just do a mechanic or something. Anyone doing it low spec style? Tempted but want to make it as good as possible. Will probably go high spec I think.

[donatello]

i love gta.
it'd be fun to join.
cool sketches bbox, nazeil

[RedHotLemons]

Throwing my hat into the ring. Old man, drunk, bunny suit.

He might need more grime?

[Styx]

@ Dock Rock
Thx
You are right, i´ve put the Arms more "in" the Hotdog.

@Cold
Nice Sketch.

@DreameR
If he had retrostyle, give him an old Walkman ; )

@RedHotLemons
Ô.o
...ok, my Hotdogguy is no more the Freak of this MiniComp. ^^
Cool Idea.

[Armanguy]

next up: hair and maybe a bag. more ideas as to how to make him more like a surf dude would be great! still have some tris to spare
