Description Here's one I made for fun. It's a Zbrush rendition of Simon Lane's character 'Honeydew'. He is very poorly optimized for more dynamic animation, but for now he makes a good Gif. Any suggestions or critiques are most welcome!

Nice Model, I also have a model of honey dew. I have been working on pairing it with a rig. Any way, I think it would be good idea to get a diologue going. I have done my work in blender and have been pretty satisfied with its performance. The gloss for the medal seems a bit strong (It is just so shiny it looks like a soft stainless steel. Going with the dwarvin theme. It would make more sense to make it look more like pig iron which has a very dull gloss.) I enjoyed seing this keep it up.

Dialogue commence! I remember seeing your honeydew on the reddits just a few days ago. It really was quite good. As far as that 'George' project goes, I came to the point where I abandoned it to move on to bigger and better things, so I suppose some help isn't quite necessary there. But truly thanks for the offer though.
Since I made the Zbrush honeydew about half a year ago, I took up Blender doing a similar 'self taught' thing for about 6 months now using Youtube tutorials and whatnot. I'll probably start posting things on DA again soon, before I start college in another half year. However, I do see my work schedule clearing up in approx. a month or two since I'll be finishing up several comic pages and a 1 min film. After that, I was planning on getting back into fan arts, so if there is mutual interest, I don't see any reason why we could't work together on something. If you have any crazy ideas, I'll be sure to lend an ear.

Alright, well to get started do you have a skype. It has a screen sharing option that works well for presenting visuals real time. Also it allows for audible conversation, (I grow tired and irrritated with communicating in txt.) which i find easier and clearer for dialogue. I live in the U.S mountain time zone and work during the week. So i propose that, if you have the settup, we have a meeting in skype to talk face to face and i can pull up my blender to show more of what i am working on and such as a scene i have been working that encludes my honeydew model. I don't know what time zone you are in but if you let me know a time and a zone. We can set up the time for the call. I can put aside time on Sunday the 22nd. If skype does not work we can figure out other options but, i will say it is prefurred.

In addition, one show that has been produced and has had some influence on me is RWBY by Rooster Teeth on Youtube. Not only in the quality of the show but in the story of the project lead Monty Oum. Sadly he has passed away but has left behind some videos on the creative proccess, setup, and how he got started. If you had not heard of him already I found these to be usefull resources.

Sorry, I was away at a college visit these past several days so I wasn't able to read this till now. I did set up a Skype account though, (again under the username of Mershnack) so I suppose that does leave options for later use. I'm in US Eastern time zone btw. I have seen some of Rooster Teeth's productions, but not the videos on the creative process, so I'll be sure to give that a look.

Sorry Nyrocher, I tried testing Skype today with my mate, but as it turns out my webcam is defective. I'm not exactly making this whole thing easy, but I'll let you know if I get it fixed. But until then do keep showing off your art, it's cool to see someone else's perspective on these characters.

No prob, also if the mic works skype is still viable. Skype does not require video feed in order to make a call.

I recognized him instantly! His teeth feel slightly off centered from his face, but that expression is priceless. He feels a little too pink in areas, like someone just slapped him on his belly and sides, but otherwise, this is a solid rendering of Simon Lane's Honeydew that I could totally see being animated in a 3d short feature.
