[DS/4-Bit] Roman'esque Soldier

[ts-falcon]

hahahaha thats frickin awesome!. my only crit is the colors, romans tended to favor silver/grey armor with red cloth. the green doesnt give a reallyy roman feel. they design sure does though. also when working on a ds\psp model remember to paletize your texture sheet in pshop, it helps the hardware run it a lot better. (ps2 as well come to think of it) maybe try to paletize it down to like 16-32 shades. very cool though man, im impressed at how well this would look from a distance on screen :D

Very nice! :)
But yeah, like the guy before me said, the colours need changing. It looks like a samurai at the moment. :D Also, what is with the japanese lettering on his arms? Or is it some roman thing? My history knowledge aint that good :P

Hey this is pretty solid and VERY stylish! The shoulder pads are VERY strong, excellent work there. I would get rid of some of the wasted cuts on the chest and neck and use them to add a little bit of flexibility to his knees and elbows. Also, I would add a head :D

one last thing, I would move the top/bottom texture for the hands (with the curled fingers) more toward the center of the polygon, X-wise. they will read better as fingers there! looking forward to the helmet man!

PS - i wouldn't worry too much about the style yet - this is a very good start, the colors are fun and non-photorealistic, and they capture the most important details. once you're comfortable modeling and texturing the basic shapes and details within these limits then I would start to experiment with adding focus to your textures.

Heh. Funny story, the cloth near the bottom (Unrecognizeable now.) used to be red, but I actually forgot to go and change it in the colour table. It's indexed now in 4-Bit colour, with I think 15 colours being used. Magenta is in there as you can see, but I didn't end up using any transperency.

Earlier that day... "Argh! I haven't used my highlights yet? Wait a minute... Ho ho ho..."
You're absolutely right, it's not authentic, it's me just wanting to create fun designs in low rez. : )

Heads? Who needs heads. On the wasted cuts, yes, they absolutely don't belong there. : ( Seeing as he's not really meant to deform that way, I'll probobly end up getting rid of them there. Also, my peers are always badgering me not to triangle strip, so I try to make as much of it as possible in quads. (Not visible are 4 triangles behind the shoulder pads connecting the arms.) ty very much for the sound advice, I'll get working on it asap. Sadly, probobly nothing today, as there's headwraps to be done.

Thanks for the critique guys!
