Hey all, This is my concept.
A gypsy boxer, a pugilist. Hes travelled to the uncharted corners of the world, fought wars, beasts and was once ship wrecked and had to eat his companions to survive. returning covered in tattoos and stories. A giant of a man who has learnt to wear his belt high, so as to never recive a blow from an honorable man below it.

Good luck everyone in
I disagree with Schlumppy about the headscarf... It would make him look less tough IMO.
But maybe some piercings like J.I. Styles suggested. Would show he's been around the world and visited different cultures and has a mark on his body from their customs or something.
Overall, great concept!

Love the concept it should be realy cool, on my character I am also going with a fairly geometric tattoo pattern.
The tats work realy well with your guy, I will have to be different and say that I don't realy think he NEEDS piercings I mean piercings aren't all that suited to a fighter and this guy has far more of that pure fighter Sagat feel to him.
Thanks for all the replys. Been of the air for a bit but back now with a little update. Quick sketch of the lower body of this here man. He may once of had piercings but they where torn out in some dirty fights long ago, and he's learnt his lesson. Nose spikes coould be the ticket though. I'll do up some sketches. Going for a simple 'tough as nails' look. Maybe some rope around the wrist and hands?
I love the rope idea, adds to the sideshow feel he has going on.
Big fan of the highpants they look great, certainly has that classic look to him.
In the full body concept the left arm seems detached because of the lack of supporting structure around the bicep, other than that I am a huge fan of this design.
Got some modeling done. Pretty happy with the rump! Not done with the front or legs yet though. Cheers for the feed back Poppinfresh, funny when you work on something you've created and you can't notice the obvious probs. Fours eyes are better then two! Thanks mate

I've made a start on the head, working on the big broken nose and cauliflower ears. Pretty happy with the progress, which whether i like it or not, at this point may or may not look like kurt Russell.

Test render, working and experimenting with the texture. C&Cs welcome

Progressing well oco :)
Though his face doesnt quite match the menacing expression of the concept. ARE you planning on doing some facial morphs later? If not it might be good to spend some time on his expression. Mostly lowering the inner side of the brow, etc If you dont know what I mean, make an angry face in the mirror!! :)
[:(!] Another glamour shot. Heres a quicky for Makk. The more menacing side of 'Two Ton Tony' - Triangular lip rectified! cheers to both of you

Long time between drinks! This is a quick update. The progress work on my high poly model. Muscles are a bit over worked on the back but this with be smoothed down.

Nice drawing. This guy looks cool and very tought. So what is the lower half of him going to look like? For some reason to me he looks like he should be wearing some kind of head scarf or an ear ring.
