Week 4 Homework Submission
For this week I used character art from a friend of mine whose work has inspired me for many years. Tom Allen is the artist behind Friendly Kritters calendar. I really like his cartoon style and tried to recreate one of his turtle characters. The hands and feet should be larger and the shell could be smaller. I left the arms and legs segmented so that I can pose them later. Once in the right position, I can then combine the separate parts with a boolean and touch up the connections with the sculpt tools. A neat trick I learned from Zach Reinhardt is that the character’s right limbs are linked duplicates of the left side. I can sculpt the details on the left and they will transfer to the right automatically.
