What's up fellas, just a place holder for my character. Not much to show so far, started on the concept for the head here is what I got so far, more to come soon. Oh it's gonna be an alien, that much I know :).

C&C are welcome like always.

[TerraBite]

Really love those boots, sir :D

[xxxcubanxxx]

oh yeah, was waiting to post this up :D.

Sir?...:hmm: that just made me feel old muhahaha.

[bibhuti]

great work cuban. you r going great. keep it up

[Appr_oved]

hey man, your model is looking very promising!. ill be watchin

[Tarik2d]

Those boots are looking good, like the pinching

[Ihazard]

I like the boots, are you going to add some hard surface geometry to that? Like buttons, buckles perhaps? I see you've used some of the pre-set alphas for that already, I just think it looks neater using hard surface personally. Nice start though :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

thanks for all the comments guys, very inspiring.

Ihazard: yeah the buttons are made with the pre-loaded alphas in zbrush, this is not the final stage for the boots I'll put more stuff on them. Glad you like them.

[Moridin]

4 eyes nice......now he has to buy two sets of shades :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

Or custom made ones, :p ;)

[D R E A M N T]

Looking clean man.

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thank you...:ufo:

[Insania]

Good face idea.

[Growl]

Very interesting design and silhouette. I like the style of your model. Keep on :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thank you for the kind words guys, more updates soon.

[ChaosDragonDZ]

looks clean so far, and unique character. looking forward to more

[Appr_oved]

nice update man, see you have the whole body in. watchin for more man. keep it up

[xxxcubanxxx]

not really much of an update, just playing around with some ideas that came to mind the tank wasn't really in my plans to make but it might be something that could work.

I need some feedback from you guys on it!!!

[Appr_oved]

hey man, see heres the thing... the back canister has to go, not that it looks bad. its just so many people are doing them :(. i have something like that too but now im going to scrap the idea and do something different or change the design. you have some time to change it if you want, best of luck buddy.......................o IMHP lol

[TerraBite]

Coming along very nice! :D

[Fbios]

Hi! Very nice boots i realy like it!

[snakeeaterjns]

Cool work man! Keep going.

[setschaos]

At first, I would have to agree about the canister, that it has to go. But then I catch myself, no... it breaks up all the solid gray in the middle of the base color pass, it does a great job adding to the silhouette and overall has great potential.

I think the big thing to look at is although the back canister is showing up a lot, it doesn't matter how many people are doing it, what matters is how are you going to make it stick out int he crowd.

Great work so far, keep up the good work!

[xxxcubanxxx]

thank you guys so much for the input and the feedback as well for the comments, my thought about the canister wasn't to actually power up any machinery or weapon, but more as source of heat/life for the character...something in the lines of ironman per say. So, yeah I'll take all the suggestions into consideration and make the best of it, I'll post some progress soon.

[Tarik2d]

Looks like he should be in mass effect....thats good btw :)

[bb0x]

hey man looking nice

tho i think the porfile of the head could use a more intersting shape. it feels too flat to me.

keep it up dude

[xxxcubanxxx]

thank you for the reply bbox I agree with you, that will get fix soon prolly I still need to give it a final pass and tweak some shapes around. Glad you like it ;).

[xxxcubanxxx]

alright got started testing some textures out on zbrush, first time doing it so don't know how this will turn out. If you guys have some suggestions or crits that would be really helpful this is a learning process for me.

[Mclean]

dude! love the skins tones in that render really bad ass! the viens under the his skin look great! i would recommend looking at some exotic frogs when it comes to texturing get some really interesting colours in there! check out this dude he'd be great to look at for reference! think thats what Tarik2d was refering to! http://kolbyjukes.com/images/INTERNAL_PORTFOLIO/professional/masseffect2/1.jpg

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thanks man glad you like it, yeah that dude from mass effect 2 def came to mind when I started making my character :) (can't wait for that game)

[Tarik2d]

I really like this, good stuff mate

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thank you for the support Tarik...:shout:

[gauravcg]

nice progress ......
good luck

[xxxcubanxxx]

thanks bibhuti & gauravcg :wave:

[Growl]

Your model looks good. Nice progress :)

[Warlock 279]

Looks good, and I'd certainly agree that you've got some room left in your budget.

[armians]

nice one x] will he have any props? imho his back needs a bit more details, not huge muscles or smth, but some little accent maybe
edit: ohh.. stupid me, just watched earlier wips so everything is good x] no crits then x]

[Cordero]

Nice stuff here!
I think that the rib cage looks a bit weird on the normal mapped low poly, but the guy have four eyes, so maybe some of his other parts deformed too ;P
Show us the final piece already :D

[Appr_oved]

hey bro, that normal is clllllean man nice job, no crit, but keep going and dont stop

[ChaosDragonDZ]

nice flow on the retopo, dont stop go go go!
