I'm curious- I'm actually considering re-modeling the pants. Is there a particular area of the below-torso that is better to start with?
I'm thinking if I start with a triangle-shaped cylinder, or maybe even a trapezoid... I dunno!

Cool nice to see cartoony characters being made.
Will they be animated?

Usually, I measure out and model a basic form of the groin and butt first, with a hole for the leg. When I'm satisfied, I just extrude the edges out of that hole to make the leg portion. Then I go back over it all and build up the form and details. Obviously, our methods may differ. All I can say is that the best way to do it is up to you ;)

thanks for the method, Raxx- I found a 3ds Max tutorial that did it that way and I came up with what's in the image below.
It's pretty imperfect, but it's okay for a first try. I should probably show some more images.
Jos, long time no see! I do like modeling things like this but I'd have to say, animation (beyond facial morphing) is not my strong suit and it's pretty tedious to do in Anim8or, especially to make it look good. I don't think I'll be animating them very soon.

Hi davdud
Been watching progress here, and had a thought.
Rutherford Rat is quite tall. Either he's meant to be tall, or its happened by following tutorials made for building human type characters. (human ref image?). His proportions are very human, tho arms are perhaps marginally shorter than human arms.
If he's meant to have these humanoid proportions, then all good, but maybe his tail seems a little small?.
If he needs some more 'ratty' type proportions, then maybe his legs and arms are a little long?
But then, maybe not. Just something i thort i'd mention.
Its good watching characters getting started, and then progressing into 'who they are'...
Liking Rutherford rat.....appearance and personality can go hand in hand.
At the moment, i'm seeing a teenager rat. Young, fit, healthy, inquisitive, full of beans. A young Rutherford Rat.
But if he had a monocal, and a tweed jacket and hat, he'd look more like a resident of some castle type dwelling. Older, well off, gentlemanly etc.. (eg: Toad of toad hall)
lol. Just thinking out loud...
Good stuff. Hope you keep at him.
