Space Marine

Change of plans!

At first I thought of a shotgun looking weapon which fired large slugs.
But I've reconsidered that and decided that he is to have a sniper rifle instead.
I got idea from a friend of mine, thanks dude!
Since my character isn't as mean looking nor as brutish as the type who just runs into the midst of battle slicing through his opposition.

He is sad looking because he has seen too many horrors and battles. He has stared at his victims through his scope, seeing their faces clearly. They haunt his mind and dreams.

Hope this works out
Ideas are very welcome since this is a very crucial part of the process.


PS: Weapon concepts coming soon

Weapon

Thinking of something like this. It will be beefed up and more futuristic looking, but this might be my starting point. Will make some sketches of my design.


EDIT: Made a new search, just on "sniper rifle"
And look what i found

You have a nice start but your proportions are out of whack. Eyes need to be bigger and shaped a bit better. They look more like oval holes... The ear is still small and so are his lips. And his lips need to came further back... because it looks like his lips are puckered, like he is trying to kiss you.


Here is a bad paint-over. I didn't have a pen tablet...

Thanks for the crit dude . Always nice to see that people see your work

I think that if i push the up lip back a bit they will not look as "puckered". Perhaps I should widen them a bit. As you said
Eyes are a real headache, I'll fix them 'til next update.

Btw one of my lip inspirations is that famous sculpture which is at the british museum I think, we got a replica at home. (the replica was bought at the museum and it's identical to the real thing, size may differ.)

F.Y.I I'm only fifteen and this is my first large project which involves so many details

[hulahuga]

Allright guys, here is an update. I've used a hdri lightning on these two. (thanks darthwayne)

Btw I'm really really proud over the nose I did. (I suck at doing them usually)

[hulahuga]

My first detailing test

[hulahuga]

Okay guys, I think I'm done detailing now. All proportions seem all right too. I'm still very proud of the nose Smiley, lips too. Wink
If I don't find anything that needs fixing, or if I'm not coming up with a cool idea. Then I'll probably begin texturing this.
fixes and ideas are as always welcome, especially in this stage before texturing.




Beauty shot:

[hulahuga]

Okay then.
Some time ago I made a first color test. Here goes.
Right now I'm learning Bodypaint 3d (it is hard ) so I'll do some more texturing when I've come a bit further.
Pls feel free to comment or give some critique (on anything).

Heya,

I think the eyeline could be a bit smoother - right now the line is lumpy/noisy.

Also, check this out for neck muscle and ear reference:



I guess you're using Mudbox 2009 to sculpt this guy. Why not take advantage of the great painting capabilities of Mudbox, instead of using another software for this?

[hulahuga]

Hia Freespace

Spot on the eye . I'll try fixing it.
The neck muscle too.

Well so far I've tried painting in Mudbox, but bodypaint has more options . I'll see what I chose. Perhaps both

hey dude, i took the liberty to paint over your marine and make him more bad ass , this is just to give you some ideas

[hulahuga]

Haha! Awesome!

*Checking new wares...
"Bad Ass"...
- you said what?

I might actually pick up on this project again, thanks man!

[WIZCORP]

the sculpt is getting there but it needs a lot of work especially the ears something about them just doesn't sit well with me for some reason. Peace!
