Hello everyone!
I'm gonna do some sort of old experienced killer, that travels across post apocalyptic desert. I guess he should looks like something between Leon and Rorschach (Watchmans). Now he has no contracts and no clients, but his skills and his rifle will help him again.

Here are some of my references:

Should make a nice counter point to my current design :p Good luck :)

Where's the concept?

Agggh everyone keeps skipping the most important step!

Haha, good base mesh, but let's see those concepts :-P

Thanks for comments guys. I’m sorry that still didn’t post my concepts. It’s because they all on the paper, so as soon as I can scan them you will see them. But I guess I will post my high-poly model earlier :roll:

And new update of course!!

I definitely agree with Cuban on the folds.Very accurate.

I guess cloak is ready. Of course I will add some buttons and other detailes, but not in the Mudbox:)

Trouses are finished.

Kraken

08-12-2009, 05:24 AM

And here is my current progress :haha:
Next step will be head!

Awesome cloth work! Is there any books or websites you used to learn this or just visual studies?

Kraken

08-12-2009, 08:11 PM

Rezdoggy Head looks big becouse of perspective. I checked the proportion specialy for you - it's ok:)

Mr.fE Just practising man:)

Kraken

11-12-2009, 04:49 PM

As I promised before, here are my concepts! :)
I didn't have any free time during this week, so I should do a lot of work on weekend!

Kraken

13-12-2009, 06:21 AM

New update! I almost done with head, but maybe i should add some details more? What do you think guys?

Mr.fE

13-12-2009, 07:24 AM

sweet!

I guess details can be dealt by textures...like age stains and similar!

or if you really wanna ad sculpts...well you might make the skin of the neck a little bit loose...

Very nice sculpt

Kraken

15-12-2009, 05:33 AM

Thanks for advices guys!
And here is new update! A made a gun for my character. I choose SAKO TRG 22 as a reference.

Love the the sniper rifle, makes me want to play MW2.

neck is a little to small, other than that it's a good start, keep it up!

Kraken

16-12-2009, 08:56 PM

As always - fresh update! I almost finished with sculpting, the last thing, that I need - belt. But I still didn't decide what sort of belt it should be..

JGavin

17-12-2009, 03:16 AM

oh nice comin along good. I like the jacket.

his head is a bit too big and his feet look to be on the large side as well (heel to toe) Both easy fixes.

Kraken

18-12-2009, 08:02 PM

Thanks for advice!
I fixed my proportion troubles... I think so... But if something is wrong- please tell me!
Also I finished with re-topology and made normal map. Enjoy the update!

JGavin

18-12-2009, 08:06 PM

will the jacket have any thickness to it? That would help a lot. especially since you have plenty of tris to spare.

Kraken

19-12-2009, 06:25 AM

JGavin Thanks! I thought about it from the very beginning.. As you saw I didn't reach poly limit, so it's possible to fix this collar. And what about sleeves? They also have zero thickness. Should I fix them?

Kraken

21-12-2009, 06:46 PM

One more update! :)
I almost done with texturing - now most important things are color correction and adding extra details.
You suggestions and advices are welcome! :)

P.S Head again looks bigger that it should be...

setschaos

perhaps you could tone down the saturation in the skin to give him a grayer look, maybe that would make the head 'pop' less compared to the model. Looks good so far, solid diffuse

Kraken

23-12-2009, 05:26 AM

Good idea! Thanks!
Here is new update - almost done with rifle texturing.

buzz001

23-12-2009, 02:38 PM

Love the rifle, it really shows how weather and time have taken a toll on this beauty. I don't know if some one suggested this but maybe adding major kill notches on the butt of the rifle. My favorite part is the scope well done.

very nice rifle. the model and texture looks great.

xxxcubanxxx

23-12-2009, 05:26 PM

Awesome textures on that rifle dude. :)

Kraken

23-12-2009, 09:03 PM

buzz001 Notches could be a good idea! But do you really think that experienced sniper will spoil his rifle in that way? :)

Thanks guys! I'm really happy that you like it:)

buzz001

24-12-2009, 01:36 PM

My thought was him being old and that would be a way to tell his story. He looks like a man of few words. :)

Kraken

24-12-2009, 08:29 PM

buzz001 interesting idea!

New update.
Guys, I'm looking for answer - how can make eyes more realistic? Because now they look stupid a little bit.

E4sY

24-12-2009, 09:20 PM

it looks like the eyes are a bit too far apart.

Kraken

27-12-2009, 02:26 PM

Look's like I gonna finish soon! Maybe I'll add some details, but it's not a big deal :xyz:

Good luck for everybody! We will do it!

Well done for finishing, Looking good :) good luck with the voting :)

Kraken

Thanks dude!

Nice, congrats on finishing. I like the logo on his back, nice add!

Kraken
