[Warlock 279]

I really like you concept for the weapon. The banded wood and all that looks great...very steam punk. For the colors I'm liking "d", blue and orange work well together.

[armians]

[Fbios]

Very cool concepts!

[DannyCG]

Great work man, you have very fast workflow.

[Levus]

Thx!
Next update, I have enought of this, I think It's time to make some geo now.

[jnumber9]

is this is battle stance, or just to show both of the items he wears? I mean this is not very convenient to hold a rifle in one hand and the baloon in the other while shooting.

[Levus]

It's just to show the items:)
The sniper weapon is 2-hand, and the bottle is on the ground while shooting.
I will try to show interesting and believable battle stance in final renders.
Thx for comment!

[L3XICON]

great style and colour work in the concepts! Will be a really unique model if you can carry that into the 3d. So nice to see colour and strong design these days and not just the super noisy detail and desaturated colours of next gen game art!

[Levus]

Hi!
L3XICON: I think the model will be a little different than concept, I will try to put in some more dynamic. But you have totally right about color. Thx for comment:)

Update, figure sketch in zbrush, with anatomy doodling.
It's some more needed work on this model.
Any c&c are very very welcome!

[D R E A M N T]

Is he really that jacked underneath all of his clothes?
Nice sculpting by the way.

[berendey]

very nice sketch!

[Levus]

Hi, thx for comment!

D R E A M N T: Maybe not much jacked, but it's no visible right now:D It's just for get shape.

And some base meshing:

[xxxcubanxxx]

Ahhh very nice, true to his concept so far. Thumbs up dude!!!

[Martin_x]

Great job so far!

[armians]

wow! imho the best entry so far! :eek:

[Specialboy]

i like ur work ...especially the concept work ...u have spent a lot time doing that ...but it`s worth , i things so ... i really good when u have colorized concept of what u going to do ... i`m glad that u have understand it and use it in practice ...

and to much details for under cloth parts :) it`s good sculpt but when u dont have to menage the time i think so ...

sorry if i was too rude in some parts but i`m telling what i`m thinking :) ...

[Levus]

Thx for comment!

Specialboy - There's nothing rude in your comment:) Maybe underwear sculpt is a little to much complex, but It's a few hours only of sculpting doodle, and It's help me to get a little better character posture.

Update here:

[Warlock 279]

Sculpts looks great so far. Can't wait to see you get the boots in there, those are some nice boots you got in the concept.

[Levus]

Warlock, thx for comment!
Another update tonight, see you tommorow!

[armians]

wooow! well that's some uber sculpting!
my only suggestion would to scale up his hands a little - he would look a bit stronger imho
anyway.. amazing entry! looking forward to the lowpoly, when baked'n'stuf, that should look even more awesome!

[Levus]

Armians, thx man, appreciate:) I will try to not disappoint you (and myself) with textures:)

And here some head and weapon wips:

[xxxcubanxxx]

lol, nice face the missing tooth is a nice touch also great weapon and canister. Keep it up buddy.

[Warlock 279]

Awesome! Afraid I've not got anything useful to say, so carry on.

[Levus]

Hi! Thx for comments!

Some more update..
I'm a little busy, but I'm still fighting:)

[Insania]

Nice sculpting and I like weapon design.:cool:

[anima3d]

nice piece of work :) keep it up m8

[armians]

that's one scary guy you're making : o nice progress, keep it up!

[chris_solo]

very nice work! I discovered this thead!!

[Tarik2d]

Looking good what u rendering in? Is this high Res?

[goast666]

Tarik2d - That's zbrush, and the highres.

Looking sweet so far, I'm really loving the super large chin and the missing teeth are a sweet touch.

[Levus]

Hey!
Thx for comments!
Yep, It's zbrush all. Some color correction in ps sometimes.

And here some more work on hipoly and initial polypaint:

[mafida]

Great work so far.Hope You'll finish in time:)

Go Levus,go:D

[Warlock 279]

Looking really good so far. Only suggestion I've got is to get a little more color variation between materials. Its looking a little monochrome, but that's something you can easily play with in PhotoShop once you get your textures baked to the low poly.

[Growl]

I like the coloring but I agree with Warlock 279 about color variations. But you have a great model now, keep on

[Fbios]

I agree with Warlock 279 and Growl more color variations and more dirt.

[armians]

niiice highpoly! looking forward to see how it'll look in lowpoly!

[gauravcg]

nice and sweet progress :)
waiting for low res!

[Levus]

Hey! Thx for comments!:)

Mafida -> It will be done in time;) Thx buddy:)
Warlock, Growl, Fbios -> Yes, thats true. I will work with colors more on texture. I appreciate, thx!

Armians, gauravcg -> I'm waiting for low res too:D Thx for watching!

I'm still working with hipoly, and I don't like his hood anymore, maybe it's a radical change, but in my opinion It's a good change. Hope you like it too:)
http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/3466/vagapublic22.jpg (http://img682.imageshack.us/i/vagapublic22.jpg/)

[mafida]

You're right,looks better without hood.Maybe a little extra,some iron plate on his head,or maybe a scar to break the symmetry?And of course He need some interesting pedestal too:evil:

Pozdr:)

[JGavin]

yeah I agree with mafida

still feel like it needs something else up there.
I can't wait for the low poly man. Keep it up.

[Levus]

Mafida, JGavin ->Thx guys, idea is nice, maybe I will put some piercing for breaking symetry more, but that's a good point!

Ok, I think it's enought about hipoly here, maybe some details is missed, I will fix it up.

[Martin_x]

looks awesome. Speed up! Deadline is close.

[rocneasta]

nice touch with the water canister and the question mark on it :) i'm guessing it's necessarily water in there

[Fbios]

Incredible work! Speed up!

[berendey]

this is my favorite! these folds are great :)

[chris_solo]

nice work! keep it up dude!

[Levus]

Thx for good words:)

Bake work done.
I'm working on textures right now.

[gauravcg]

nice progress man....
normals are awesome!

[berendey]

looks very nice!

[Dann-O]

Great work man I need to start learning how to do some normal maps. Character just oozes out of him.

[armians]

nice! x] so little time left, hope that won't influence the texture works too much!

[Fbios]

Great job. Normals very clean. You did not lose any detail of hi poly!

[mafida]

Agree, low poly looks great.Good luck with textures:)

[InTheClue]

Nice norms
