Sumea Modeller Challenge

Here's an idea I've been toying with, He's called The Acolyte. This is gonna be my first model since the last challenge, but I don't want to get to rusty so it's as good an excuse as any to do some modelling.

Now I gotta try and make a big ass guy look good in a skirt.[:p]

good luck to all the contestants, lets all try to finish this eh!

Not an easy challenge at all. Heheh, Good luck. Im working on a highpoly character at the moment and i tried the skirt idea, and it was quite difficult and i failed. I wish you the best, hopefully you can pull it off right. :)

Concept looks great.

jeez. That guy is a tank.
Nice concept. I like your use of shadows and highlights.
Is he going to have a weapon?

I like this design, I think it could end up looking pretty sweet. Those gauntlets work well.

It?s nice to see a more simplified design that isn?t getting too busy, yet still maintains a cool style. Good luck with the challenge!

Im in agreeance with everyone elses comments, the simple yet powerfull style works real well. Those gauntlets give him just the right amount of flair as well

Cheers for the comments guys, This is just a preliminary idea, I'll have to think of what to do with the details now.

Hmm I agree with you dude: Big-ass guy in a skirt. It's an odd image. Also... he's kinda generic. Don't wanna shoot you down before you start but you did say prelim idea :) And I accept the fact that I'm a little biased. You know my penchant for the slimmer male physique. Wait a minute... that sounds mega gay. Meh, what can you do?

Can't wait to see what your model is like although I'll probably get drunk and forget to check. He's gonna need to fight Joley's chick too! BATTLE!

HAHAHAHA!
But seriously, I like this concept. There's plenty going for it. I wouldn't go as far as to say its generic. If you look at Ken/Ryu/Akuma/Dan from Street Fighter. That's as generic as it gets, but they are the most commonly used fighters (probably not Dan, he wears pink and likes men - kinda like nomiakasu).
If anything, just push your concept a little more to give him more of an acolyte feel. Maybe some markings/tattoos on his body or put some kind of emblem on his clothing or something.
Keep it up!

I think this is my favourite concept so far - I love it, bring on the model!

Submitted by Anuxinamoon on Sat, 08/07/06 - 3:20 AMPermalink

I love this also. I love the simpleness of the clothing design with the intricateness of the gauntlet and the tones shape of the body. Its evenly distributed and works wondefully.

<3 it
