Thanks again for the links madshooter! I’m really digging the morning star and the axe looking weapon isn’t bad either. Definitely helpful.
I agree with little armour as possible. It was my intention not to put heavy armour on him or cover him up with a lot of it. That’s why I designed him without it coz I didn’t want the armour to dictate the overall design and I wanted him to be agile and too much armour will restrict him from a lot of movements.
cool…i like the color scheme for the character’s body. can’t wait how’s he looks like with the armor and weapon. =)
Really nice character… He looks amphibious in the last sketch. I’ll keep an eye on this one.
Thanks for your comments guys!
Imagolith: He does look amphibious come to think of it… I think it has to do with the greens and yellows. I am still experimenting with different colors so it might change and I haven’t finalized his overall look yet.
syncmax: I am really paying close attention on the armour design right now because I really want to get the look right. I don't really want to put too much armour on him because I don't want it to restrict his movement coz I want him be fairly agile. I want to have a bit realism into it even though it is a video game character.
I am also in the process of designing his weapon so hopefully i should have all those posted very soon. I think I'll concept Koran for the rest of the week before I commit to him in 3d.... It is very tempting to start modeling him since everyone has started but there is still a lof of design elements I am still not sure of.really great work on the concept. I agree completely that this doesnt need a massive amount of armor. He has strong character as it is now and heavy, overwhelming armor would just clutter the final piece. Really great work, im looking forward to updates
Just doing some slight variations of the head design. I like the the shape of the head already but i feel it needs a bit more tweaking just to get bit more uniqueness in to it.
I am also trying to explore different faces of actorsthat suits the actual design and personality. Any suggestions?
Yea looking really good! I think the character would do good with a 2hand type of weapon, suits his muscular body! thats only my thoughts though.
Very nice overall
I’m lovin’ your concept especially the color test. I definitelt can’t wait to see your next update.
P.S Even though the link was inteded for vshan. it’s was pretty helpful to me. THANKS!
Thanks for your comments guys, I have a few more concepts to be uploaded soon.
kmanning: I agree, I just need to design in a way to make him still look cool and powerful without cluttering him with a lot of metal stuff.
XTitan: Thanks a lot. I am still designning slight variations for his face but hopefully I can keep the same mood.
cyberarts: Thanks, you’ve got some promising silhouettes on your thumbnails yourself.
DefiledVisions: I am certainly considering a 2 hand type weapon as one of the concepts as soon as i finalize his face and body.
StacyOgie: Thanks for your comments, I’ll try to update some concept over the next few days, I am hoping I can get some free time to actually do them.
Which link was intended for me?
Yeah I still have a few design issues with it and hopefully I can allocate some time over the next few days.
Great so far! i think the head design is already good enough =)
Yes go ahead with the minimum armor for this character. He already had a very strong body structure. Show his true power! =D

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been struggling all of last week to get any decent time to work on this but i have finally put some in on the weekend. My design has changed a bit because the lower part of Koran’s body will now be a quadriped like so he will be like an alien centaur.
I will upload the other deisgn later today when i get home… but here is the head concept i did in zbrush and I am currently working on the base mesh right now and i hope to bring that to zbrush pretty soon.

I will post my sketches later today when I get home from work and will also post the basemesh that I have started. I want to finish that very soon so I can start on Zbrush work. I still have design issues with the character and still yet to finalize a design on the artefact.
Thanks madshooter, hopefully i can get a few more updates in very soon. I really wanna get the highpoly version moving soon and sort out all the design issues because it’s not 100% yet.
Neat head design and model! I love the dreadlocks you’ve painted in. Is he going to be running around naked? 
Looking forward to seing where you go with the armor and artifact… good luck!
more concepts, Ahh… I just can wait to see it modeled:)
