cute mouse model

you always get such nice comments when posting a model, even an untextured one :,(

[ontopic] looks good, surely, but for my taste it looks like it would fall over to it's belly every second. anyhow, nice job!

I think it does looks good, because a mouse don't walk on two paws. So when it stands up it's pose is somewhat like presented in the model

Dusty

AAAAHHH A MOUSE!
seriously though, the model looks nice. I like the style of it, the shape of the mesh alone tells me something about the mouse character. Nice work.

lol wheres the broom!? any way it looks good

Hi again,

since most of you liked this model I created a uv-map, a texture, a skeleton and started the first animation:





Maybe this one will make it into Dexon Knight with one of the funny NPC scripts form the latest contest.

Looks good but the face is a little bit '2d', even for a cartoon...
The eyes are ok, but the teeth should be 3d (I believe) Though maybe It's not the style you want.

Otherwise, or else if thats what you wanted, looks great! I especially like the idea of giving the little mouse hair.

Hehe I didnt think it was possible to make him even cuter Great job... I attemted to model it but things just werent flowing right... I got upset and gave up Still want to give it another shot when I get the motivation tho.

I like him, do think the ears need work still though ( to skinny and flat)

cute mouse!

you need another few polys in the ear as the shading made a funny wierd angle in the front, other than that, it beautiful.

Hey those drawings are right out of Preston Blair's book.. I used book that in animation school

It might be a little misleading not to credit the original artist..

But it's well modelled after Blair's character.

I'd work on his balance, like pull him back and down a bit, but then if you are animating him then that's something entirely different. Maybe I'd crease the bridge between his nose and forehead a little bit.

I like the model, but not the drawings. The drawings do not fit with the model, I would skip them and invent a new skin for the mouse.

Just to give an idea what I imagine:

Yeah! I like the shiny black eyeballs, looks nice. It's so great to see some more cartooney models around here

He's so cute! Is he low-poly enough to use in a game? I've created something similar a few times, with a texture cartoon mouth and eyes rather than an open geometry mouth. Are you going to stick to texture drawn mouths?

Thanks for the comments.

Yes. I was inspired by Preston Blair and I will animate it similar like Preston suggests in his book. Since he did not draw front and side views I could not copy his drawings but I could use his idea and design.
