Hi,
Better late than never! I really liked the sound of this theme so I couldn't resist. After starting a few various designs I settled with this guy as out of all of them the ideas for this guys background came the easiest and thus is the most inspired ...
I call him Sanguren the Deiknight

Alright, here's the start I've made on the model. Started with a mid-poly to get the design right and have mesh smoothed it. I don't use Zbrush but I've heard there's another new, even better program coming out so I might look into that soon to get more detail, otherwise I've got a load of work to get what I want into it still.
I'll post my final concept renders soon, I'm playing around with the Wacom trying to improve my technique as I go.

Was asked about this new program that's supposed to be taking over from Zbrush, but it sounds like it's still quite a ways off anyway - http://www.mudbox3d.com/
Sorry, no sexy nipples yet, but I'll get em in I promise ... just not sure if I'll be able to complete this by the deadline with Tafe and work but I'll give it my best. At least I'm getting myself a Wacom this week (it's on back order) so I'll be able to finish my concept before the deadline.
Any and all comments and critizisms welcomed! [:)]
cool. Can we see wires? I like the way you've captured his sleek form. It may still look slightly boxy around the head and torso regions and you can soften the verts there.
There's also abit of form I'm confused about defining the rib cage or abdominal area. Perhaps achieve a more smoother curve to define abs?
ok here's some wire shots for ya. Looking forward to anything you've got to say on em.
Finally found a place in Adelaide which was selling Wacom Intuos3 6x8's for under $500, I know it's still expensive at $450 but I really need one if I'm to improve on my skills as a concept artist. Anyway, I put aside some time this weekend to complete the final concept I've been working on (I'll put the hair on him later :p). Please give me any and all feedback on it, I'm really keen to improve in my Wacom skills.
Mainly used Photoshop but also started teaching myself Painter for blending as there are some really neat brushes in it.
