Maru & Badnik Trooper

[DerZocker]

Thanks for the tips and ideas, folks.
The hair was more or less a placeholder, so when i feel like finishing it someday, i'll keep the length in mind. Hair is something i find really hard to model, especially if it should have a more flowy look like Maru's ponytail.

[quote]Overall, not a bad model at all. However, the only issue I can see in the future is the gender of the character being hard to tell. It's hard for me to tell in both model and sprite that she's a girl (well, tomboy appearance is what it gives me the most).[/quote]
To be honest, i was hoping that her butt would make up for this^^'
[quote]is'nt maru a boy's name? [/quote]
Really? It was based on the Maru/Batsu pun which Zero and X names are based on. Pretty clear case of "did not do enough research"xD

I'm trying to find a file of my very first model for the last few weeks, but the best i could find are some pics i found in an old forum-post. It seems like it vanished from every computer where i ever used Wings3D oO'

Spoiler

(didn't knew shit about soft and hard edges)

I really tried to get into various 3D tools, but i never managed to create more than some ugly blocks. This Badnik Trooper was finished a week after i downloaded wings. I'm currently working on a remake, as i don't think that i'll ever be able to find the original.
