Just a place holder for now, but the basic idea is to make an Indi character, but with a Samurai/Japanese Style. I'll have some concepts and progress soon. ;)

[chris_solo]

oO! really good choice!!!!! (I wish I had the idea) I expect the concept :)

[chunkymunky]

Love your previous work I and know you'll rock on this month's challenge too, looking forward to seeing your concept(s) :)

[Mclean]

[Cordero]

Are we going to see some kind of alien again?:D
There are Japanese aliens too, if you are out if idea!:D

Good luck ;)

[xxxcubanxxx]

lol, sorry no aliens this time. Thank you all so very much for the comments, they are really appreciated.

Here is a concept for the head, just playing around with some ideas, if you guys have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

P.S: I can't draw hair for sh*t

[chunkymunky]

Pretty cool start, nice proportions at the moment and he looks like he'll be pretty badass :) Looking forward to seeing updates :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thanks for the comment chunky :)

UPDATE: Started fleshing out the body.

Hey there! Nice start!
But i think that the character is too wide. Thats causing some errors in the stomach area.
Or maybe i'm wrong:D

[Crevasse]

Looks really nice. You got the shape down nicely and I like the Character a lot. but like Cordero said I think he is to wide. The arms are good but I think he's about half a head too wide on each side maybe even less. It's very close and it could just be an orthographic vs. perspective thing. none the less it's wicked.

~ Good job starting. The overall proportions could be more accurate. Here's a quick paintover to display the issues I'm seeing. It's mainly the lack of form on the shoulders and the huge torso in comparison to the arms, neck and head. I hope this is helpful:

Thank you so much for the input guys and thanks for the paint over DreameR, I've tweaked the torso a bit and worked on the rest of the body. I still need to take care of some muscle groups that are missing, but here is some progress.

C&C are more than welcome like always.

[Cordero]

Starting to take shape ;)

For me, he is still a little bit wide in the shoulder, and hip region.
It is really possible, that you hadn't touched the feet, and the hand area, but i'll post my thoughts on those.
I think, that the hands and the feet are pretty small. And i think that he is missing his ankle.

Anyway, good sculpt, and sorry if i said something that you already know:D

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thanks for the suggestions Cordero, yeah I hadn't really done anything to the hands and feet. :)

I enlarged the feet and hands a bit and did some more small tweaks to the body over all look. I'm pretty happy with the proportions as they are right now, So I'm gonna move on and if I see anything else that bothers me I'll change it in the process. Gonna start working on the accessories and such now.

Oye la verdad que esta salvaje eso socio :D hehe nice job keep going man

[chunkymunky]

Looking very good, excellent proportions so far, looking forward to more.

[chris_solo]

great progress and proportions xxxcubanxxx :)

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thanks for the comments guys.

[VersionThirst]

This looks really good so far, great work.

The only thing that looked a little weird to me (and it may just be the angle) is that his ear & jawline don't seem to be in the right place.

Either his ear it too far forwards on the face, or the jawline goes back too far on his head.

Found a quick reference so you can see what I mean.

[xxxcubanxxx]

you're right Version that totally escaped by me, sorry for the lack of updates, but I was partying it up this weekend and didn't get anything done.

I'll have some updates soon. ;) thanks.

[Insania]

Good sculpt. Keep it up :D

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thank you sir, too bad I've been a mess this past month and wasn't able to finish it :evil:. I'll pick it up on the next challenge.

[Cordero]

Argh :(
Sad you wont finish... Well, there is always a next challenge!:D
Oh, and good work you did so far.

[chris_solo]

yeah! next time... I like your work xxxcubanxxx!!

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thank you, thank you guys, yeah next time it is. :shout:

[yoyomon]

Somethings to keep in mind for the next challenge.

His ears are probably a bit too tall.
His nose is too short.
There's something off about the way the nose is connecting to the eyebrow but I can't put my finger on it.
The mouth feels a bit too wide in relation to his thin jaw.
He has cross eyes XD
His cheek bone needs to be more protruded.
His lips doesn't read too well, possibly add lines to show where the skin ends and lips begin.

Just some food for thought :D

[LemonW]

i am sorry for my limited connection. i can not see the pics you have post. i think it is a wonderful charactor. Keep in mind for next challenge.
