rawwad: Thanks man! 
Here is what ive got so far for my modellingsheet. I did his hands, some more gear, not sure about his shoulderpad, but i need something to break of the symetric feel about his gear… Ive still got some work to do on the figures and stuff, also the presentation isnt final at all.
C&C is most welcome!
Nice updates, man. I Haven’t been here for awhile… damn school.
I really dig the hands, bony and everything. Make sure to do the feet in the same way.
Keep it up! :buttrock:
Very good face -dont know why but brings me to mind some starwas characters feeling -and this is a compliment of course. Not sure about that something hanging between its legs -I think you should try get rid of it.
Sweet, hadn’t seen this before! Great work here, very original design, I like the head design!
I’d maybe consider giving him crazier proportions, right now he looks rather human, what do you think?
God dag there, Sverige!
Very really nice concepts and sketches! The blade profile is so fluid and elegant, good indeed!
And with the legs/toes situation, think I’ve something useful to say: Try to make them look more relaxed, like flexing the knees. The way they are now, his pose as a whole looks very artificial, specially if you whant him to be a sneaky guy it would be nice too see that he’s very relaxed. You see?
Nice. Now, if you would, look at my entry and send me as many crits as you can!!
Izuael: Thanks m8!
mine1: Hey, thanks! Some specific reason you dont like his “that something” :p?
Hideyoshi: Thanks man, glad you like him! I know ive been rather careful in going too far away with the design, i just dont want him to become too much of a creature. Maybe i will go for a little bit more crazy design next time, i feel that i lack the time to do any major changes right now… I feel good about how he turned out anyway…
Perin: Hej! Thanks! Sure the pose is very artificial, its just for the modellingsheet, i’ll try to make him look more relaxed in my final painting… 
I’ve started my FINAL painting or winning pose if you’d like… Im going to have a full scene with Shanto Man in action, not actually fighting but somewhere in between, sneaking around. I want the environment to tell much about him and his powers and personality. I’ll try to post a rough later tonight…

Here is a rough start on what i have in mind for my final paint/winning pose… Some stuff i’m planing on doing: The trees above him will look down talking to him, pointing out to him where the enemy is. His hand is touching the tree and the treesurface begins to travel up his arm(camoflage). I want his spear to almost touch the ground, the ground near it starts growing grass and flowers, a butterfly sits on one flower and the blade is covered in blood(thought it might make a nice contrast). Also some of his fallen enemies in there, like the robot to the left, thinking of having one close up in the foreground.
So far ive just worked mostly on the compo and his pose… I think the compo needs alot of work. C&C is most welcome!
-Niklas
wow cool!
I think maybe he’s a bit big in the comp… makes him seem less hidden/sneaky?
then I guess you’re going to toss a shadow from tree or so over parts of him? would look sneaky I’d start working out shadow play early since it may slow you down if you worry about all your fine details when you do it (usually happens to me OTL).
also I’d widen the canvas some bit… seems a bit narrow… would like to see some more to the right particularly good luck!
erik_j: Thanks for your thoughts… Yup theres going to be some shadow over him… Its kind of tricky to make a stalker “eyecatching”(stated as one of the main criterias for the judging), sneaky but still the where all the attention lie. Im trying to balance it, i think ill pull it of… Tackar!
I’ve been busy with some other work lately, plus my internet’s been down… But i do intend to finish this! Right now im working on my final piece. Keep it up everyone!

cool mask design~ i like it…
if he has more intriguing pose, then it would show his character better i think~
good work~
jingudyi: Thanks man, though its not a mask :p…
Here’s my last update before the final version… Ive got quite a lot of work to do on it for sure, also on my other sheets so its gonna be stressful to finish this one, though i think ill make it. I would love to hear any thoughts on this!
-Niklas
Nice work. Long time since I last checked, he sure looks cooler in that action pose:thumbsup: The image seems finished to me except his hands/forearms and the debris in front of him.
But it would be nice if you could attach him more to the world, perhaps clearer shadows, and maybe see one of his shoes on the ground (like his right one). It would also be cool if you could tighten his left hand grip on the tree. It could surely make the image more intense.
HĂĄkan: Thanks alot m8 :), hope its better now!
Thanks everyone for the support and feedback, it means alot! I hope i was helpful for some of you too…
Here´s what i’ve submitted for my entry! Tadaaa!
Great end man! Whoa, the winnig pose looks fantastic, love the style and realistic lightnig so much, very cool. Also the character looks much better in colors, congratz and good luck!

Glad to see the finished version, excellent render!

Izuael: Thanks m8! I appriciate the support… You know i liked your entry!
rawwad:Thanks man… Im glad that you liked it! Too bad you didnt proceed to the final 50, i thought it was well worth it, a comfort is that some other very nice entrys didnt make it as well… 
BloodTaster: Thanks!
The Flork: Thank you! Glad you like the final…
Perin: Thanks Perin!
DefiledVisions: Tackar :), To bad you didnt have the time, maybe some other time… I hope to see some more stuff from you some day!
Thanks again for everyones support… I just found out that i didnt make it to the final 50, i guess i am bit dissapointed concidering all the work that i put into my character. 
I noticed that some of my favorite entrys didnt make it either, i found it weird and at the same time its quite comforting since i didnt make it myself. So now im quite curious about who took those places… Anyways, Congrats to everyone who made it into the top 50!
Later!
