Just finished the Uplifted Universe challenge, then I suddenly realised that I need to get a piece of work done before mid July. I've been planning this work for almost a year now. I can not miss the deadline.

This will be my first work working with Donglu Yu. (see her works here (http://donglu-littlefish.cgsociety.org/gallery/)). Donglu will help me at later stage of this work.

As for the real name of the project, it will remain untitled untill publishing.

Can you post pics with just the main wireframe smoothed, without the secondary one?
Love the style and how clean it is.

very nice style Jackzhang! Do you weight the edges to get these hard lines in the face or do you use multiple edges close together?

[Zac-Donald]

Looking at the wires, multiple wires.

Hi Jackzhang,

Great characterwork and style, I really look forward to seeing more. Just a few comments though, nothing major.

For the main character I have critique, he has a great look and finnish, really like it.

The alien catcher is also good but I do feel his ears are a bit far back and very large, at least if you want to keep him in style with the others.

Lily looks great too but her collar bone is higher than the shoulders and even though it's a cartoony style it looks kind of off. I would raise the shoulders a bit (lowering the collar bone puts it to close to her chest). I would also tilt her ears back a little and lower them so the top and bottom aligns with the eyes and ears.

But what ever, this is of course just my personal opinion, there is no rihgt or wrong here.

Keep up the good work
/Jonas

sorry guys. I haven't put any update recently.

EA's fine. No over time. However I have two jobs. I teach in the night 4 days in a roll so the schedule is a bit tight. plus RL get's busy too. I'm not sure if i can finish it on time but I can continue on it and get it ready for next mid July.

the whole project was hidden with unknown name. I'm gonna blow the cover now.

Glen Angus was one of the most talented 2d digital artists. He died last year July 17th and left his wife and kids. I was planning to make an image of him keep drawing in heaven and release the work on the day he passed away.

The main character is Angus himself, rest of the characters are the ones he drew.
