Here are some references i gathered for Jake Rockwell of the Centurions. I really loved this show as a kid.

I want him to have a rugged look, since he's the 'land operations specialist' of the Centurions. I think a cross between a Nanosuit and motorcycle leathers would make a good Undersuit, covered by light Armour and a re-designed helmet.

After evaluating the first sculpt, I decided to widen the head and give him shorter hair.

Nice concept sketch. Looks like it's coming along nicely.

The corners of the lips and top back area af the ears look off to me tho.

Cheers Tober, I see what you mean about the mouth corners and ears. These will probably be covered by the helmet, but hopefully I have time to fix them and do a render with the helmet off too.

Added some base colour materials to get an idea of how the colours were going to work together.

Great job! I did Ace McCloud, I'm surprised I didn't see this one in the threads. I really like the way it turned out and the reference you took from other sources. Well done!

Thanks Japetus! I didn't post too frequently towards the end bacause I was frantically trying to finish the comp :-) Unfortunately i didn't get to model the weapons or texture it, so that's something I'll have to do in my spare time. Congrats on you Ace McCloud model, and the beauty render turned out nicely.
