Looking good on the eyes. The legs look a little on the long side though. Keep up the work

[xxxcubanxxx]

[paulius-st]

[tsabszy]

his hooded muscle seems to be too high and if he's so strong those could be more curvy not only straight lines. and besides.. show us more!

[xxxcubanxxx]

hooded muscles = traps??? lol...and yeah yeah I'll get some done

[tsabszy]

*Trapezius, sorry :D i didn't know how to say it in english :P

[xxxcubanxxx]

Decided to go with a new belt

[BiG ToE-3DT]

think maybe you could man up and put the old belt on his shoulder, or chest, or on his shield, or, make it the back part of the belt?

[xxxcubanxxx]

yep, it's most likely going to end up on his shoulder piece

[Jeebs]

this is looking great :) keep it up

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thanks Jeebs, glad you like it.

Sketching some accessories, decided to also do away with the helmet :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

quick test of low poly cloth

[Jeebs]

wow looks really great, can't wait to see it finished :), I'm guesing you're using alpha here. I should do the same on my model soon :) thanks for a ref :D

[xxxcubanxxx]

Yeah took a plane to zbrush sculpted some folds and masked the damage/rips, then following the normal in photoshop created the alpha. Could be better, but it's a start :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

Bit of progress

Test bake for the sword 1000 Tris

Normal/AO

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1586/testvd.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/406/testvd.jpg/)

[Jeebs]

looks good :) but 1000 tris for this sword I think is a bit too much, you could save a lot more of them I think, but since the budget is really high I guess it's ok :))

[xxxcubanxxx]

Yeah I could go lower for sure, but like you said the budget is quite generous :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thinking of going with a dark skin tone like this

[Phoenix995]

i really like what you did there!
but i think you made some polys, which are unnecessary...

for example on his belt, if you would simple make the belt 3 planer high, and add the details, with ne normal map, you would have the same results. Try it, it will save you a ton of polys, which you can use elsewhere!

keep it up!

[xxxcubanxxx]

True, true since I'm well with in budget still I'm gonna leave it like that for now and if I happen to need them I know where to get them from :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

to be continued on my WIP thread :)
