I think the upper body looks small because of the waist band, looks cool though and I think it should make a great model, if you use Rembrandt's colour pallet on the texture it could look very impressive too.

A sheild I feel would over complicate this guy since the single two handed weapon works very well for him and realy fits the fighting genre, I think it takes a special character to weild a weapon and sheild combo, see soul calibur.
But who knows that is just my initial opinion, for all I know it could have some awesome sheild in the end and still look great.

Thanks guys, yeap, lower body was a bit long, fixed that, I?m a bit busy but should post finished concept later this week. I was thinking about some sort of a shield, but as accessory on his back, big, round one but thought it will make him look like a turtle or something.
Any other ideas?
Cheers

Just updating my concept. I?ve never spend much time with my tablet, but some of the work on this forum is truly inspirational, and from now on I?m gonna spend more time sketching. I just love how dynamic these quick drawings are. Thanks!picpoc2006-09-22 23:34:13

neat work Artur, I really like your concept idea.

holy cow,
thats just mad
how long did you spend rendering this image?

oh, about 3-4 hours, I can't really draw but i can (sort of) paint, so that's why i've done this. as i said, gonna try sketching quick, line based figures from now on, it seems to be more fun.

That's a great painting, really brings the concept to life. Such an original design, the finished model should end up looking pretty ace.

I wasn't a real big fan of this concept, but now that I've seen it painted its made me have second thoughts! Great job dude!

Hi guys, it?s time for another update, but this time I need your feedback. I?m sort of lost on proportions. I?m aiming for slightly exaggerated real proportions, (athletic looking character) but been playing around and don?t really know what looks good and what?s not anymore, can u help? ?and it?s about 4500 tris now
Cheers

heya picpoc,
thats a cool looking low poly
i understand that you want to exaggerate the proportions a bit
but my feedback is to consider enlarging the waist line slightly
he looks too overly slim on the mid part

but anyway, looking great man, cant wait to see the high poly details

I think i'm done with this low poly model. it's 5998 polyspicpoc2006-09-22 23:32:37

Very nice work [B)][8D]

I really like your web site. Great stuff :)

thanks Killa Dee, and thanks to silvermirage, i've fixed the waist.

looks really nice, should be really interesting to see textured with the whole rembrant theme

Hi there, just an update. This one is my low poly model with its normal map applied. Still working on it, but that?s what I've got so far.

Cheers
