Character: Just another "Gas mask" soldier

[Matt]

Two glaring critiques...

His legs look to be the same size at the bottom and top. Legs are always bigger at the top (hips) unless you're annorexic.

His head is 60% of the size it should be.

A less glaring observation... The gas mask eye pieces are too far apart. Since those are for his eyes to see through, the inner edge of the pieces (how they're currently spaced) would be right over his pupils.

Bring them closer together.

edit: Fix his arms too. His upper arm/shoulder area looks like a balloon. :)

thanks!
I don't know what I was thinking when I did the oculars :scream: :scream:....here is the right version with oculars inside the mask.
The arms are fixed too.

Small update. It's on 1772 tri's now.
I'm heading to 2000 tri's, so I have some polys to make some decorations.
What do you think?

well, i would make him a "Psycho mantis from MGS" type of character

the psycho mantis guy, i think it's a great concept for modeling something like a "gas mask soldier"

[tomdrin]

I may be wrong (cause I didn't play MGS), but Psycho Mantis looks like woman..
My soldier will be mascular and huge man.

work some more on the legs, get a ref pictures of muscles, a suggest going to fineart.
hands look.... starange. get yourselfe a human anatomy book, it's a lifesaver when it comes to modeling chars.

update:
I've gave him little futuristic boots, and made some changes on legs.
with new boots I spare some tri's, so I plan to add more "futuristic" elements.
If you have some idea, what I should add, please post reply.

to Mizu: Hand looks OK to me, what exactly is strange?

and I have some questions:
I don't have any experience with painting metal...If you gave me link some good tut for hand painted metal, I will be glad.
What type of lights do you use when you are rendering characters in static without background?
