now for the real fun, a dynamic pose :D

[omnicypher]

that weapon is fantastic! it seems like it could fit into any stylized RPG without a problem.

[Tejay]

thanks, that was the style i was kinda hopin for

[khemist000]

I like the weapon design as well as the look of his back. I would say play with the expression on his face, he looks too "nice" to be a warlord, maybe some scars and sharper teeth? Good start!

[Tejay]

thanks i'll keep that in mind for my current pic

Soon to be posed

[_CAD_]

Nice work tejay, he looks really cool.

perhaps some of his tatoos should emit like a blue glow or something cause imo i think that that side of the character is a little neglected. :)

but other than that i cant wait to see it finished.

[Tejay]

hmmm a blue glow... i never even thought of that... i'll have to look into it :O

[Tejay]

i was playing around with my rig and various poses...gales really posable for some reason :P
