Morning,
Don't have time to get myself a concept done, So just thought I'd start on Curtins concept.
Started yesterday afternoon, This is how far I got. Wanted to post 360 but render sizes were too big [:X]
Anyways heres my start:

question to curtin: In your back concept you have a metal plate on his belt near his lower back. This isn't on your side concept so just wondering which way you are going with this.
My bad.
Cheers Nibbles. Yeah I stuffed that little bit up and although I fixed it, I forgot to post the corrected image. Here it is. I'll also post a copy in the character concept thread.
By the way, that model is looking great.

looks like you're going for a defined human musclatorial system, but you've got some major groups way off -- hope this helps.

Thanks for all your comments so far.
First off to Curtin, thanks for the great concept been fun so far. Down the road try and think about what engine you are designing to and if things would work when they are put into 3D. What I mean is that the arm join wouldn't work at all so I had to design that but trying to keep it as close as your concept. I won't be adding the cape because I don't see it technically possible in UT2004.
Conundrum: As you said I was following the concept and yeah, in the concept the shoulders were that kind of shape so I followed it. So it was intentional [8D]
Now Joel.. [:p] I am following a concept I'm not sure if you have seen it before you posted. I'm not totally blind I have seen a shoulder before, I do belive I have 1 or maybe 2 [:p] Either way this whole guys body is pretty random. Don't evern get me started about his face proportions [:X]
Major Pecs signing off. [8]
Well yeah,while I throw all that up I thought I'd put up an update, still working on the right arm alot but slowly getting there. No time for it apart from lunch time.

Enjoy!
I got a bit turned around with your answers to the last post. If you're changing the concept because you'd just like to tweak it, or for technical reasons that of course is totally cool with me.
Just in case there is any confusion though - the left (organic)shoulder on that guy is basically a rough ball that curves outwards. The armpit faces downward rather than forward. There isn't a deep cut. Again I don't know if i'm getting everyone's questions wrong here - sorry if I am.
And because the original concept had a cape, the upper chest is armour/clothing rather than musculature - so that may throw some people off. Just something to factor in if you want to ditch the cloak.
Its your own model though, so feel to reinterpret anything I throw up :)
I will go back and do model sheets for all the weapons I've put in the concepts, but I have to finish the heavy soldier and demololitions character model sheets first as I know there are some people that are waiting for them before they can start.
sorry - I hope this doesn't put you out too much.

Looking good. Though I do think you should listen to Joel about your shoulder and arm piece. He has years of industry experience under his belt and I think that his suggestions should be considered. No matter what the concept says, you should always have the basic rule of proportions and muscular flow in mind, because it WILL make your model look amature.
I had some time this evening so i snuck in a sheet for the rifle for you. I've posted it in the concept art thread but I'll put it here too.

Originally I saw the top part of the main piece of the gun (the bit that connects to the scope mount) as curved - so that the main piece was an arch with a square bottom. And the piece that connects the main gun section with the barrel was a cylinder (like the ring just near it).
But I kinda like what you have done there already so I wouldn't bother changing it - I think it looks great just how it is.
good work.

yeah, curtin said that he stuffed up there, the back plate should be on the side drawing too but he forgot it i was talking to him on friday or was it thursday and he did mentioned that to me ( i was going to model one of his characters guess ill do one of the others then or one of my own seeing as your doing a fine job of this one)
oh and sorry curtin for answering for you.... :)
