Description
I present to you model of Diddy Kong based on 1994. It's my first character's model. Back in 2008-2011, when I modeled few buildings and IKEA furniture on Google SketchUp (just for fun), I couldn't make smooth meshes in this program. Sketchup is designed to model in technical, architectural way. This model is from 2015 and modeled in XSI Softimage which I used renders from 1994 to reference. I am greenhorn in this. I imported this model to Blender and rebuild his mouth. It's still look messy and crappy and I don't want to rebuild it all that I modeled from Softimage. After that, I made him a skeleton. So... he's missing skin on stomach, fur/sleeve, tongue. Weight painting still needs improvement.

But I like it, I guess . It's my first model ever (excluding Google Sketchup). Time to watch tons of tutorials and model the Donkey Kong properly. I already trained modeling mouth and it came out smooth. You don't have to make so many edges, verticles.
