Emotidudes

basic sketch of a POSSIBLE upcoming paper model. the basic idea to him is that his head can easily be attached/removed or revolve/move so that one side of the face shows one emotion/face and when you spin the head around, it will show the OTHER emotion/face. I have a poll up on m,y site and more details about him on my site too. Email me about it if you wish to find out more and either comment on my page, the forum topic or on the blog post.
I would really like to get some feedback and to get the idea off the ground.

thnx, you guys rock,

I like the idea.

If you are going for emotions, which is 90% based on the face, maybe you'd want to make the head a bit bigger. You could also go for a square head and have up to 6 different emotions. :-)

yeh ive been thinking about making the head bigger, and at first i thought of making him have 4-6 emotions being available to display on the little guy, but that would just get way too confusing...either i go for absolutely CRAZY and make heaps and heaps of emotions, or i use 2 or so, and make them very good and detailed...ish..hehe....

At the moment im going for the 2 detailed ones...but ill keep myself open to feedback at any time.

thnx man!

Anubis..

P.S. had a chance to assemble the icebuddy....he..is..AWESOME!!! thnx a tonne man!! i hope that other people will like it when the first series is released. :D

I had the same thought as Tephlon: because the head is the most important part of this model, you could consider it a little bigger.
If it had no rotating head, the model would have a nice proportion, but not special. The rotating head would make it more special.
I curious how you are going to make a rotating head, and keep the templates easy to build (and strong enough)... I have some ideas about that, but perhaps you have better ideas!

Good luck with the prototyping!

just letting you know, i have sorta put the emotidudes on hold till i finish my custom for Jun's trooper 3.2 i promised him i'd do it and im trying to keep it top priority :)

unfortunatley, my laptop is still stuffed so i can't edit him yet (which will take a LOOONG time! mroe than the desaign phase i'd say!) so the trooper isn't due to be ready for a while...i have done some more sketches on the emotidudes though in class today and i have made the head bigger, aswell as the shoes being slightly bigger too. :)

Homework doesnt help either...trying my best to keep everything under control :P
