this is awesome… 5.5? wonder how much and which direction his metal would stretch at 10…. ; )

syd baker replied
Thanks Mimi, If I was happy at 10 out of 10 I’d probably fizz like a sparkler and scorch the drapes.
mimi yoon

Jen Cannella
Great sp Syd! You are so shiny : )
syd baker replied
In the 21st century, shiny is manly!
Dave Martsolf
Let’s go for a walk, Syd. We need to talk! Love it!
syd baker replied
I wasn’t going to enter, then I started trying extreme smiles with a face in Poser, when the lips come out the top of the head it gets pretty scarey. So I thought of how happy this guy always looks!
Scott Bricker
great SP Syd, looks like an avatar to me…no need to shave, just polish…
syd baker replied
That’s right! And I think I still have the top of his head around here somewhere…
Dave Martsolf
I was thinking of superimposing the guy over my face with cutouts. Hallowen is coming!
syd baker replied
Brilliant!
Danilo Lejardi
Very nice to look at, Syd. Somehow reminded me of a muppet figure. You should win with this!
syd baker replied
Thank you Danilo, he does have that sleepy smile!
Dave Martsolf
OK, then, it is coming soon!!!!
JenLand
Wonderful smiley guy Syd!! He surely brightened my day. :o)
syd baker replied
thanks Jen, I was going to do a 4frame Warhol version until I noticed you’re supposed to use the template.

10 out of 10 Syd.
Cheers.
syd baker replied
Thanks Peter, originally I was messing around with extreme smiling with a poser head, but it was really creepy, so I did a special rendering of my buddy!
hugh023
Good stuff!! . . .
syd baker replied
thanks Hugh, he was made as a smiling robot in the first place!
Keith Reesor
Marvelous creation Syd!! :)
syd baker replied
Thank you Keith, it seemed so logical, all I added was color and two screws.
Dave Martsolf
btw, Syd, if you do find my take-off out of place, please feel free to delete it, OK? – Dave – really, no problem
Pilgrim
Great stuff
syd baker replied
Thanks Pilgrim, he’s been a helpful little guy ever since his Screen Test
amante
Very unusual. Great idea and great concept, especially if you’ve got a screw loose.
syd baker replied
Heh heh, for this, all screws tightened, and shined up, not even a squeak!
mjart66
Love this guy :)
syd baker replied
Thanks!
Betty Mackey
Good morning, Syd! Great work!
syd baker replied
Thanks Betty, I remember you, but I hadn’t read about your publishing before, that’s quite interesting as a 15 year amateur gardener myself. You may enjoy my little shiny guy’s Screen Test he’s quite an actor!

Keith Reesor
Syd,
Congrats on the Bryce and Beyond feature!!
Love this one!! :)
syd baker replied
Thanks Keith, actual photo.
James Iles
That’s really great. Certainly brings a smile to my face. Good luck with the contest.
syd baker replied
Thanks James, his head is two half spheres, the bottom one a little larger than the top one, and they’re both tipped forward making the smile. What cracks me up is at a certain angle, the mouth goes all the way through his head.
