ill do Charmeleon.



ill be posting pictures of the modeling and building here later

ooohhh, Charmeleon used to be one of my favourites, although a charizard would be cooler.

Good luck Gupu

i gotta work fast ( but the quality of the finished model will be great) since i start exams next week, and i i dont finish by that time, i dont know if ill be able to complete the model.

anyway, i've started editing, but i came up with something: the flame on the tail.
on the ripped model it was flat, so i modeled one by myself (my first try at modeling something form nothing)


so what do you think about it? should it be bigger or smaller, or anything that comes to your mind, the textures perhaps? plz tell me so i can correct it

yeah, you're right , but it looks better in pep:


also, i have a charmeleon toy, form the good ol pkmn toys back from 1999, and the color looks very similar

I love the tail you modeled! But I have to agree, it looks pretty dark. I think it should be less red, more orangish.

well, thats how the eyes and the skin tone appear in the game i ripped it from (PKMN Stadium 2), but if you like i could lower the skin tone, and try to rezise the eyes (i dont know about this last one though, because the eyes are normal for me. look at the picture in the first post



btw, which pose you prefer, the original one, or the one on the picture above? because im considering changing the model....

the 2nd one is better

i think ill make the second one then, it looks cooler

btw, on the textures side, i made a quick recolor to see how he'll look like:

it looks more like a big charmander to me than a charmeleon, so ill build it with the original textures, but if you want i could package the template with a recolor

hmmm... I like the 1st.
EDIT: and the orange should be a bit darker.

so, here's the new model. im going to keep this one since i like it better:



also, is this color palette better(just the reddish skin)?:

Personally, I like the dark red.

yup

I think the dark orange is best. By the way, nice job! Looks great so far, I love charmeleon.

as for the base of the papercraft (i dont know i it will stand by itself), so you like this one? or is it too simple?:

btw, the letters may seem weird, but i already fixed them

I love the new stance. I see what you mean about the orange too. I kind of like the second red, the lighter red. I do think the base is a little simple, but I can't think of any way to make it better. Wait, I got. Make the base a different color... The blandness is what the problem is.

if you made the stand a bit thinker so it would be about 1cm it would look awesome

what do you mean by "thinker"?

I believe he means thicker.

Gupu, WOW!

That's looking really good and I like your simple stand, it doesn't distract from the model.

well, I've changed a little bit the stand:

as of its thickness, i usually glue them over a piece of cardboard so it is strong enough and doesn't bends. if i make it thicker with the 3D software, when i import it to pep it'll be hollow, and it'll bend and brake when the model is put on top. the way you can may it thicker is pasting it over card stock or more paper.

btw, i've already started testbuilding, ive build the upper half of the head so far

UPDATE: i finished building the head:

Hey, nice work, Gupu! This looks like it's going to be a great model when you're done.

Dude, that looks amazing! Keep it up!

thanks for your support!!
btw i've finished building the arms:

Woah. That accurately decribes the awesomeness of this model! Cookie for you, Gupu!

This is gonna end up great! I like the color of the texture you anded up with too!
