BY DAVE: Monkey Model

This is a model I've been working since last night for a character from my old comic strip. His name is Monkey, but he's all man, ladies!



I'm happy with the way it turned out, but now I wish I had waited for the full version of Maya to show up before I modeled him, because of the lame watermark. I modeled him from a box, using the Gnomon Head Modeling DVD as a starting point on his head, and then just extruding edges on down through the rest of the body. I need to finish sculpting his chest, and add in some arms and hands, but I like his look so far, and it's been a great learning experience.

Here's a little sample of Monkey in action from the old strip:
