awesome character

this is a great piece of work mate, like I've said the composition is awesome, the stylisation is great, just thought it could do with some real development in the key areas I have listed, which I think would just lift it to that next level. They are fairly minor improvements. In particular just lifting the details in the skin as you have quite detail work in the cloth and hat, but the face seems to be less worked up, in comparison to other areas. Also the creasing seems to be lacking a little in the legs cloth, and the cuff of the jacket, I think would aid the the realism of the character, even if it is stylised. Also I would suggest making the skin slightly more specular, as the face a very plastic, or clay like feel. But mate this is a cool piece of work, would love to see it animated if your going to go that far.
Strong Points:love the composition, stylising is awesome.
Weak Points:cloth could be worked up in places, and some textures lifted
Recommendations:improving the look of the facial textures, and adding more details to the creasing in cloth

maybe make a morph target for that or try a skinning plug in that allows shapes to be put into joints to hold the joint shape. If its only for a 2d image try using zbrushs transpose.
Strong Points:Its a great pose
Weak Points:The lighting could be better
Recommendations:the bend in the knee is a bit like a puppet.
Awesome work. Love it.

Great character design and execution in bringing him to life through 3D! I would really be intrigued to see the world he inhabits and how he moves. Also if you were to develop this guy, and his world, further maybe a young 'grasshopper' apprentice on the pole next to him :)
Strong Points:Absolutely love the design of the character. Really like the style of the texturing and shading too. The weave of the material on the inside of the hat is one of my favourite parts of the image. I also really like the shallow depth of field in the rendering, it really makes you feel like you are within the Monks small area of calm focus.
Weak Points:This is really hard but maybe the Monks foot that he is standing on could maybe have a little more arch under the foot, and that is me being hyper-critical by the way :)
Recommendations:My first recommendation is one that has been raised a few times in other reviews, but I would really love to see Shaolin Monk animated. I imagine him to shuffle slowly when going about his every-day life but springing into action when fighting. My second recommendation/wish would be to see the world that Shaolin Monk inhabits. Maybe a temple, training ground or bamboo forest?
nice character

Think this character is really cool due to the fact his character looks fun and quirky. However he is disciplined because he has complete balance lucky him.
think you captured his personality in his facial expression and his physical pose.

Is this guy rigged? I'd love to animate this guy. Good job man.
Strong Points:I like the stylized anatomy cayse tiy reakkt get an idea that hes a short old asian man.
Weak Points:Should have had a more believable hand gesture that went with his face.. I was thinking maybe a look of peace with a more flowing hand gesture.
Nice work

I like the model overall. Just add in a background pic that matches his theme and you will be good to go.
Strong Points:I like the clothing and the overall look of the character. Reminds me of Kung-Fu panda.
Weak Points:Needs background image to add to overall appeal.
Recommendations:Composite in either Photoshop and/or AfterEffects with a background image that is more visiually appealing.
Nice work

I really enjoyed the picture in it´s whole, the pose and the stylisation of you´re kunfu master. It is clean and clear. Some could argue that the background is too simple, but I like your choice to show only the charcter. I also think that the composition of the picture is really nice. Hope you´ll get to put it into motion. Good luck for your future works !
Strong Points:
Well presented. Nice posing.
Well presented. Nice posing.
Weak Points:Still trying to figure out one. Maybe, there lacks a strong focus point inside the picture. The eye wanders around but doesn´t get to focus on something. But, since you´re introducing your charcter that maybe isn´t necessary.
Recommendations:Keep it up !
nice
