Hey everyone. Heres my current attempt at the big guy himself, Arnie circa Predator. I'd really appreciate peoples opinions on how Im doing and where to improve things. Im finding it dificult to get some distance with this so I could really do with some c&c from the community. It's already been mentioned that his ears are maybe too pink, what to do people think about this?

Im intending to give him some 'proper' beard growth and hair but I only have sasquatch lite and Im unsure about getting it to look ok, time for lots of testing I guess! Whats peoples thoughts on this, possible? Also of course I'll be adding the all important camo face paint at some point.

The only thing I can see that I really dont like is what you mentioned...The ears...the lips are a little to pink as well. Looks like he is wearing lipstick...lol...His nose looks a little too small. But thats the look you were most likely going for so I would keep it. But the lip and ear textures definatly need to be changed. Hope this helps...its a great model by the way..

May be you should show us your reference pic...

Head looks good, tex are saturated and the spec is incorrect (plain blinn i guess)...
The mouth looks kinda funny from side view....
Ear is placed a bit high...
Eyes seems to be big (iris) and are low resolution...

Overall nice start, show us more... :)

I think its possible the eyes are to far forward in the skull.
Also the top lip may be too curvy and a little thick compared to the lower lip?

Apart from that he looks great :)

I got to give you credit, I knew it was arnold before i read your post, nice work!my only comments are that He looks to young. He needs that leathery weatherd look. Try tweeking the textures with some real photos and The face is almost right on, the nose looks to narrow or somthing.

Keep up the good work

Thanks for the comments guys, good stuff.

I guess I will certainly be looking into the lip and ear colours then! ;)
Psan - I will change the lighting, agreed it is too saturated. Not so sure about the mouth tho... guess its a personal thing! ;) The ears are definitely too high, well spotted. Eyes hmm, thats debatable... yeah I think I will try them a tad smaller. Im happy with the res tho??
PSIpower - Thanks for checking back! I see what you mean about the eyes but Arnie may be a special case here. Something about his 'ape(ish)' skull possibly, I dunno I'll look into it. The lips, again Im not sure on. I'll check it out too.
LuWeeWu - Yeah your right he does look too young this is something Im gonna have to work on, thanks. Agreed on the nose too, I'll try it a little fuller.

Thanks again for the crits and compliments. Anymore thoughts please chuck them my way!

What can I say, it is amazing.
Can you show a low poly wireframe and perheps also the texture you used.
One thing, the eyes are to bright.
