Proportions- need crit

[pigwater]

hey TobyWong ...yah things here did get a little bent on you ... it almost seems that each part has it's own porportions ... individually they are not that bad but all together it just isn't workin

go here (http://www.3d.sk/) .. find a pic and place that on top of your piece to help

for starts .. the head is too small, & the shoulders are to wide ... the baggy pants make it confusing, but your torso is squished in the "Y" .. need to stretch out the "Y" belly area

good luck

Ok changed around the proportion... which looks better + whats still wrong?

I know the baggy pants are part of your concept but I think they're part of what's throwing the proportions off. To me they seem like something a child would wear. With the waist so low, they made the character look shorter (giving him more childlike proportions). You may need to define the shape of the legs underneath the pants more, make the knees and hips show through the cloth, and add some folds and drapes. Put them in the texture if you're trying to keep your poly count down.

number 2 is better ... but do this, take your two thumbs and cover up his arms on the #2 pic you got posted here ... looks better Yah?? .. you haave the shoulders too wide , and more importantly where the arms fall down from the shoulders ... narrow this area and it will be alot better

the head could be a inch bigger in y and x , and i would stretch the neck a touch in the y ...and thin it in the x

lookin better though

dude its your pants line thats throwing everything off, look at his pelvis his pants line is coming right accross his crotch jack em up a bit and look at the difference it will make

actually it's not just the low-pants that are throwing your model out of proportion. the red skeleton is out of proportion itself. as a general rule of thumb the the length of the thigh and the length of the calf should be about the same as the distance between the shoulder and the pelvis. you need to make your legs longer. you can keep the pants level where it is, just lengthen the legs.
also, if you intend on making this a game model, you need to severely cut down your poly-count. you don't need to keep everything in quads; there're a lot of unnecessary polygons that you don't need. also consider making the skull on his chest a texture, instead of detailing it with polys.
the eyes need to be a little closer together. another general rule of thumb; the distance between the eyes should equal the distance of one eye, meaning that from the end of one eye to the other, it should be three eyes long. i'm only emphasizing these rules, because it seems that you're going for a fairly realistic model, and these rules apply to real anatomy. keep it up, it's looking good.

Ah, Neil I love you... Your reminded me of my good friend the anatomy book. I think I'm closer to correct proportion, I'm liking it so much more now. I have so much more to do, but I think I'm on the right track.

As far as the polycount goes, I'm making 4 versions of him(hopefully I'll have the patience to go through with it.) I'm going to keep this version as the mid-high, reduce for the mid low, sub-d for the high, and make an uber low as well. So polycount isn't highest priority right now :).
