Cartoon Gypsy: Turkey Ilo. Wings, legs, tail ...

Something quite a while ago we did not write about our characters. It's time to catch up.

Today we will continue the conversation about Ilo turkey.

You have already met him at the very beginning of our blog.

Someone, of course, can say:
- Well, what we have not seen here? You've all shown this before! Let's make a model, and everything will be ready!
We also counted the same and began to model hard.

Yeah ... What happened turned out to be like Ilo, and not quite like it.

Why?

Yes, because to create such a complex character like Ilo, you need a huge amount of materials. Including sketches on which all controversial and incomprehensible details will be shown and worked out. For example, wings, legs, tail, etc.

Early wing options.


Again began a creative search.

The whole difficulty lies in the fact that a character of this kind is not quite ordinary. Try to make the bird move and control its wings like hands. After all, we must not forget that Ilo must play cards, hold the reins and get up all sorts of things that are not at all typical of an ordinary bird. One of the tasks that we had to solve was the wing.

Wing projections.


Artists painted hundreds of sketches until they came up with a result that could be called satisfactory.
The same thing happened with the tail.

Opened tail.


Rolled tail


Well, there are wings and tails, it's time to move on. We will do to draw a head. As Baro says: The head is not the tail for everything :)

Variants of the head of Ilo.


So, all parts of the body in place.
Only now you can safely start modeling. But here a lot of pitfalls are piled up. Simulation of birds is very closely connected with the rig and those. developments on plumage.
Any modeler is more likely to shoot himself or jump out of a window if he is forced to manually expose hundreds of thousands of feathers on a bird's carcass.
Therefore, the model is done first without feathers. And the feathers are planted after.

Turkey without textures and plumage .

Not without experimentation and at this stage. After all, we are not looking for easy ways. While we came to the final look of our hero, we managed to make a fully prepared turkey, looking at which, we realized that he did not suit us at all.
It became


So wait for the next post, in which we will tell you about how we revived the ILO turkey, forced him to walk, flap his wings and even fly, and then took and remade it completely without any remorse ....
