Title: Anyone willing to try something a little different?
Post by: Uncle Yuan on June 05, 2008, 07:53:34 AM
I would really, really like to finally jump on the personal avatar bandwagon and make me a nice little Uncle Yuan.  The problem is that he is unusual enough in his look that no mesh I've found fits.  I've found some that I could make do with, but nothing that really grabs me.

So, here's what I need to make this a reality.

Uncle Yuan is a short, elderly Chinese man, dressed in a rather worn brown suit, carries a short staff/tall cane (MM's sticky thingie minus the eagle is perfect) and has a large "handbag" slung over his shoulder.  (The handbag is optional.)

(Most of my avatars to date picture UY as bald and wearing something approximating monk's robes.  While I am not adverse to this depiction, it is not how I originally designed the character.)

If something like this already exists as a mesh, that's great - direct me to it and I'll start begging for a skin.

Any help down this road would be greatly appreciated!!

Sorry, UY.  I am still working on this fellow:

Progress has been halted by RL and the filling of previous meshing requests.  Yes (to answer a previous question in your earlier thread), I can make the staff shorter.  I have also begun work on the braided beard.  If you can recruit a skinner with actual talent (as opposed to moi), I would be happy to send the finished mesh his way.  Sorry to keep you waiting.

Well, there it is, folks.  My nearly complete mesh!  :)  (The Meez is nearly perfect, by the way  The only thing I would change on that is to make the pants longer and the staff a titch taller - like shoulder height.)

Is there "a skinner with actual talent" out there willing to tag-team with the good Bunburyist?

And, ow_tiobe_sb, now that the staff question is answered, would it be difficult to make him a little shorter than the average character?  Not Puck short, but maybe a good head shorter than most others?
