archer

Not bad, just a few quick crits on the model though, his legs seem way too thick at the top in comparison to the rest of his body, also his lower legs seem too short.

Upper body looks good, maybe scale down his quiver a bit, looks too much like he's got a mini bazooka strapped to his back ;) Keep at it.

I'm not much of a texture head but to me the amount of space you've used for the character doesn't reflect the amount of detail in the texture. I recon you could probably squeeze the entire thing into one 512x512.

One more thing, his face should have some shade thrown upon it from his hood, it'd look ace if you just darkened it up a touch.

Cool one Rastus, really like this guy, I have a couple of crits/suggestions though

Knees look to be a bit low, and I agree with Wizendoldman in regards to the texture? Any chance you could post the flats?
From what I can see, I would suggest maybe adding a bit more colour variation - maybe putting a desaturated green or a browny colour around the joints, to indicate wear.

Model could probably have been optimised a bit, but thats no real biggy, I guess.. Main observations are lack of straps for the quiver, and the feet.. Well they seem a little odd :) Poor bugger is running around in a brown pair of socks.

Next, I have a couple of comments on the design.. Not sure how useful these will be - but I'm an archer(there is no non nerdy way of saying that, I'm afraid), and there are a few things that jump out at me.

Firstly, the quiver. It's way small :) Arrows are generally a little longer than the arm (from shoulder to tip of fingers).
Second (and this is a little anal), but flappy clothes really don't go well with bow shooting. Well they can, but they usually have a brace over the top - not to protect the arm, but to hold the cloth down. It's something I have run into more often than I would like to :/ Short sleeved shirts on a windy day are the worst for it, I ended up having to stick it down with eletrical tape it was so annoying.

But yep, nice job so far!

I like this character [:D] Its your best one I think. I also agree with the comments made above, especially regards the texture space.

Bobs an archer - heed his words. [;)]

"We're men, men in tight *tight* tights" hee hee sorry couldn't help it.

I agree with all the comments made here, also I'm not sure why you modelled hi with a big toe and then drew shoes on him. You could save yourself a few polys by simply modelling his feet as a boot.

Stu

i think those shoes are meant to be samurai style =P

i want to see a wire,,i recon there's heaps fo wasted poly's in there,

http://www.polarhome.com:793/~rastus/wip/archer.gif thats for the wire image might go down

wbout for the clothes and such im not going back to change it now if i get round to getting the demo together ill just model a new character as this model is hell old :P

the head looks pretty high poly compared to the rest of the model

and i definatly agree with what everyone else said about the texture - lots of space for the amount of detail in it.

looks pretty cool though
