first draft of the concept art
i havent decided whether i would go for 3d or not (since i started late)
but i intend to finish this one

[Chachi]

very cool concept, my only crit would be that the technology looks futuristic rather than retro.

[Rupy]

but yea looks more so futuristic then steampunked, but in the right direction, cheers!

first color pass
i dont think its old enough so i will work on it next pass again
plz share any inputs

[Womball]

He looks great. As for aging you could try green on the rusty areas. That's what rust eventually turns too. What legend is this from?

[madshooter]

Very nice character and design:thumbsup:. I agree with Womball, adding little rust overall and on the edges will make it look old.

[CgEye]

Looks amazing, can't believe how fast you are with it! :thumbsup:
I love the idea that everything fills the frame, and creates this huge complex machine.

a few ideas for improvement:
- the arms need some work, the leftside hand feels a bit fat and the wrist isn't clear. The other arm seems to be too long.
- the light sorces in the frame should spread more light around them.
- maybe add some more volume to the eyebrows, and overall give the face some more volume, it feels abit flat around the nose too.
- Maybe remove on of the objects on the weist to get rid of the symmetry in that area...

Keep it up!

Rafi.

[threedsquid]

love the composition dude..agreed with the arm comment, i guess its too long for him, other than that this image is looking really great!

[filda]

great thug :D I love all that details on suit :thumbsup:

[Nightlitsky]

What is the story behind this character?
It's a lot of detail, so it's really good. I think the light source could create a bit more contrast between lit areas and shadowy ones to create more drama. Also, the light source is yellow so far so I think the warm light on a cool colored object makes more warm tones were the light hits and cool purple-ish cast shadows.

[asela]

tnx guys

again, you are right about everything
hope i will have time tomorrow to fix

just wishing a happy new year to everyone

[filda]

hapy new year men!!! (im drunk like hell :p)

[wildcory1]

Your concept is coming along nicely with lots of great details. The colors for the highlights look great. I always like to ad cool blues to my shadow areas to give it more detail and color. You could always give it a try. Keep up the great work.

Cool progress!! good luck... :thumbsup:

[madshooter]

Wow you are so fast Dude. Looks great. Congratulations:)

[MartinNielsen]

Cool thing. Looks like a StarCraft marine ultra style :)

[asela]

thanks martin and madshooter

i need tip though, on what's not working and what should be improved

[MartinNielsen]

Well, I can't really read, what myth you base your character on. You have the steampunk, but no story behind the soldier.
