there's something totally wrong with that!
yeah, you need to change the mouth so that the cigar doesn't look like it's an accidental mistake
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

ThanksOriginally posted by Dango77
Looking good! Just an idea, maybe if you "round out" the end of the cigar a bit, give it a bit of depth, it'll fit better,that way you don't have to change the traditional Kirby mouth. But all in all loving it, makes me want to play 80's games, may have to take a maya break and break out rainbow island...
Ill give that a go
This project got me digging out a few older games too
Mistakes, hehe

BTW here is a little playblast of the walk cycle in its VERY EARLY stages (its .zip but open it with quicktime (you may have to change the extension to .mov) (it might even unzip properly, but i didnt actually zip it, it was just a work around so i could upload it)
Update: rig problem solved
to do list: walk cycle
meta knights cape plus shoulder outline
Star kirby
splinter cell kirby
pokemon trainer kirby
metaknight + kirby star fight?
