Thought I would enter this challenge for the fun of it, and it sure has been alot of fun so far, still some work to do on the body, but I'm getting there :)

Tell me what you think, and if you have any ideas, your welcome to come forward with em, not 100% sure what I want the final image to look like.

Nice looking so far

Some thoughts I have

Abs look way to small
Maybe want a new idea for the goggles..I think if you look around you will see a lot of that
The tubes going into the neck are a nice overall idea, but need some more detail and should have something at the body where they enter
The rib cage looks a little too thin where it goes up under the arm
The top of the bicep looks odd the way it comes to an end at the pronator and supinator

Hope this helps

Ok thanks for the critique.

Firstly the tubes do not go into the neck, they are just hanging there ATM cause I havent finished them yet :)

I just talked to an old friend of mine and asked him for his critique about the rib cage, and he told me the same thing, so thats one thing Ill look into.

Good point about the biceps, took me some time to figure out what the hell you were talking about tho ;)

Going to work a little on it now

Ok after some problems with my graphics card, everything is working smooth, and Im back on track, Im really counting on finishing this model, including textures, and maybe a little animation before deadline even though I started out pretty late.

Been thinking about a little story for this guy, right now he looks like a future version og Tarzan, but infact hes a wanderer on the now desolated place, called earth. Most people are living underground, because of the bad weather conditions. The skies are eternally dark and its a dusty world, where only the strongest survive on the topside.

Well thats the short story, maybe I will do a little longer story, maybe for a short animation, who knows :D

Going for the evil anonymous look on him, Plates of armor on the legs, and a long leather trenchcoat kinda thing as the main clothing.

However I have no idea what weapon I should give him.
Any suggestions ?
Also should the tubes on the mask go into his body, I should I go for the airtank way. jbrophy gave me the idea of the tubes going into the body, :) but Im not sure..

Anyways, suggestions are very welcome

didnt make the lower part of the legs yet on purpose, cause Im working on some boots.. actually the detail on the legs is not really neccesary, since they will be covered by armor.. just did them to have some reference to model the armor by.
The hands do look a little small now you say it

yes,... the legs are short, but all the rest is amazing!! excelent muscles!

The ears seems to be "inside" the head :confused:

The stomach looks a bit square, maybe some more rounded could be better.

But It's a great job!
Did you think about what will be his clothes, weapons...?

He could be a worker inside the earth! (like Total recall, the film of Arnol Swarzzeneger). :)
