Looks good. Is it just me or does the toe of the boot look a little squared? Also, don't forgetto add the sharp metal edge to the bottom edges of the board. Looks kick ***! Can't wait to see the person riding it.

thanks for the comments, i ditn know they had metal edges round the bottom, ill add them and post a pic some time, and yeah id love to see the dude riding it too, but itll be while, im working on some other project for a client (its my first job, im 13 by the way) yeah so ill keep ya posted and kepp updating when i can,

PS: riki there is graphics but there on the bottom of the board ;) heres a pic

The graphic looks good, except the holes for the boot bindings would not go through the board. It looks like they do here. The holes for the bindings will only go about half way down from the top surface of the board. Yes snowboards have metal edges on the sides, helps with carving.

I like it, it's lookin good.:)

[si_kick]

oh yeah, the holes do too, didnt see that there on the picture i made for the graphics, all fixed now, thanks for pointing that out,
ive added some metal edges, id love to hear anything else thats wrong, never having gone boarding my self im not too sure ( i am going next year though) oh yeah and heres the latest pic, not much different just a few things changed, keep the tips commming :)

Nice!!

The holes for the laces seem stretched and all different... The laces themselves look too thin...

[si_kick]

hey guys, ive been working on the face and have just finished the basic head + goggles, now they dont have texture so take it into mind, and he will be wearing a beanie but im still working on him... and thanks for the comments so far its help alot:)

PS: i dont think the laces are too thin, you can get all different sorts, so they are correct but could be a little thicker mabye, and whats this about the lace holes?

[marc]

Good start, I'd say, but two things are bothering me:

* The strap on the heel should be higher up.

* The board shoud be a thinner at the nose and tail than in the middle. Or have snowboard changed that much since last season? ;)

Have to say i like the board more than the guy.

[si_kick]

hey guys, yeah dave i agree bout the board being better than the guy,but give me a little credit, hes my first person and hes got no bump maps, textures, no beanie, no goggle textures, plus he doesnt have a body yet, but when he has all that he should look alright, and yeah i did realise that bout the board being thinner at the front, thanks for reminding me marc, cheers

Hey, si_kick,

when I was thirteen, all I did was put reflecting balls on checkered planes with the odd brick wall, and some logo animations (using DBW Render, Reflections, Imagine, 3DStudio - have you even heard of any of these? ;) ) So, I am quite impressed.

Hey love what you are doing. My only comment is that the board itself is a bit to thick for my liking. My board is 1/4" thick near the tip and tail and 1/2" thick around where the bindings are. If that helps out any. It's a pro board whick is what I think you are after.

Cheerz.

[si_kick]

hey, thanks for all the tips so far theve really helped, ive changed the thickness of the board for ya ;) ill try post another pic soon, cheers

[si_kick]

hey,
Ive been mucking around with the body, and clothes today and ive done a render to show you the progress so far. His top will be a jacket but im still working on it, and the whole thing still doesnt have textures, bump, etc. tell me what you think,

cheers

Si

[si_kick]

oh yeah, and he'll also have gloves on if you hadn't alredy figured it out;)

The last pic looks pretty good... The eyes on the head are a little high... Look at the head without looking at the eyes and the proportions are great! I would beef up the goggs and make them slightly more reflective... This will add realism... It's coming along nice.
