that’s some pretty sweet texturing!

Great entry and very cool finale.
As far as proportions, it’s not really off in that your character isn’t the right height, but the way you have the belt and it’s placement. It’s lying right below the top of the pelvic bone on the hips, but seems way too skinny like its squeezing his pelvic bone a bit unrealistically. I think just widening him in that hip area would do wonders as opposed to the concave curvature there now.
Either way kudos on a great entry and have a great holiday!

Great textures, love the variety in edges within the theme. I wish there was something asymmetrical, perhaps in the chest? Glad you moved farther from Sam Fischer in the eyegear.
I agree about the basic proportions. The waist line looks low, especially from the front. Also the knees look low. I’d try leaving the hips where they are, widen them a tad, and raise the waist and knees. Great job.

Veery cool and well made, seem to handle some extreme close-ups. Like the glowies, nice detail:)
Best luck

great texturework! that checkerwoven material on the leg-pads is really cool.
only real critique is I can’t shake the feeling that his gun looks as if it’s scaled down 
never seen a rifle of that type that small but I’m really not savvy when it comes to guns…
if that’s not just me; a large pistol would look more intimidating than an undersized rifle if you follow…

the gun was intentionally scaled down…its meant to be used with one hand if needed.
I should also mention the gun was heavily based on existing concept art from Double Agent. Its not a literal copy, and the gun does not exist in the game…but none the less there is a likeness.
got the pose done— he is rigged and ready to animate

good job, i like the textures and model, not sure about the light u have chosen, try getting more contrast so it can still be shadowing but still show the char.

I just thought I’d through in my 2 cents, I think that generally here the modelling is of excellent quality and your workflow is great. However artistically speaking I don’t think your final images do it justice, your lighting is a bit dark and you have a few too many colours floating about. I’d definitely swap out the red laser for a green one as its breaking your colour pallette, I’d also try and not use purple lighting, if it was me I’d stick to some fairly subtle cold blue and green lights.

thats a much better render:thumbsup:
i’d say that overall he’s turned out really well, you’ve done some excellent modelling/texturing and the mini tutorials in your thread have been a world of help,
however…
i don’t really get the sense that your character is from an ancient and advanced civilization long since lost to the rest of the universe, i wish you the best of luck in the competition, but i feel like this may hinder your chances…
sorry…

lighting is better, maybe still have a nice rim light with purple or something. nice character, really like the pose

Sweet! I like this guy. Not very ancient, but very stealthy, spy guyish. Great work.

hah…i seem to be the only one hurting by the all of the deadline extensions. Now that I am 2 weeks on holidays in India, I cant make any more important tweeks. I am seeing a lot of great stuff getting done and definately more will be done with the extra week.
Funny enough…i will be on the plane back home on the day of the deadline.
Wish you all the best of luck.

good luck man! x¨U hope this isn’t a case of off-theme disqualification. it’s a good entry with much work put into it and it would really seem a bit harsh so hope it’s not.

If you submitted that picture with the two views as your winning pose that would do it, you were only supposed to have 1 model. That would be a shame though, your character is awesome. I’m not on the finalist list either for some unknown reason.
