Here is a quick concept sketch I did yesterday…
The armors will not be that plain, will add various designs to spice things later on… 
At starters I was thinking of adding a helmet too, but I decided not to cause I think there would be too few details indicating him being a rooster…
c&c welcome…
(just noticed I spelled rooster in the threads title wrong :argh:… oh well)

Good concept- interesting choice of animal. Since you are leaving off the helmet, you could take some artistic licence and stylize the rooster’s red comb on top of his head to look like the decorations on a Samurai’s helmet and armor. Just a suggestion and good luck to you. 
thnx DigitalSkunkwrx
actually am still not sure what i should do with the roosters comb… but i was thinking of adding a few planes to the side of the head and place different feathers to resemble to the samurais hair style…
probably will start modeling him today…
started modeling, only an hours worth though…
started on the head, which has turned out abit cartoonish and some armor… 834faces so far…
going to model the rest and then work on adding details and redefining the shape of the head…

c&c more than welcome…
Very good idea man! Nice sketch! And the 3d cartoonish style it’s awesome.
The roosters are great for cartoons style… dont make it realistic.
Raoul possibly the bandwidth from the server am using was exided… not sure mayeb try refreshing the page…
only spend about an hour, didn’t have enough time yesterday… hopefully will spend some time over the weekend on this and finish the modeling phase…
heres a rough body with some armor… poly count 3388… will attach part of armor onto the body to save polys, probably will optimize over weekend…

not very satisfied with the model so far…
any c&c are more than welcome…
I think the modell look great! Nice flow of the polygons. The feet and hands looks rely clean and cool!
But if you´r not satisfied, you could go for a more cartoonish rooster. Make him more chesty, like he is alittle puffed up whith his own importance!
(Nice puffed up rooster image on the net:

thnx Isabelle
you gave me an idea… am thinking of breaking the torso armor into two pieces… front and back… that close with stings on the sides… and make him more chesty with feathers popping out of the sides like it’s about to fall apart… what do you think…?
i’ll model something and update when i get something worthy… hopefully i’ll have more free time on my hands…
oh, it’s just kind of a joke(lame) because a rooster is a cock also. thats about it. so far it’s lookin’ like your concept, keep it up.
DigDoug, yea i know the rooster is also a cock, kinda caught me off guard i guess… no worries…
haven’t had any time for the comp these days… in about 10days will leave for vacations till end of the month… so hopefully will have enough time to finish the rooster before i leave, cause i doubt that i will have enough time till the finish date when i get back…
hopefully by the end of the week will have new stuff to show…
Well, I was going to say somthing about your entry.
The i read your signature…"…not suffering…enjoyiing insanity…"
Its funny! I want an own cool sounding signature too!
lol - it looks like a man samurai in a chicken suit, rather than the other way round!
Nice geometry, but i think you need to spend a lot more time on his proportions to make him more chicken like - he just looks too human at the mo.
Isabelle… thnx, hehe
Andy H… thnx… about the look, you’re absolutely right it’s too human, so i already started to make a more rooster like body… am heading in the direction that the rooster found some japanese armor, put it on and is playing bad ass…
sorry for the delay, but i got a pretty tight schedule… and now being summer doesn’t help at all… especially here in greece…
thnx for the comments to far… will have an update asap…
ArYeS… i won’t, am reserving around 300polys for the weapon… thnx
old and new version beneath… this is very rough, about 2420 polys… still need to add hands/wings, planes for feathers… redefine a few areas and tweak the whole thing… am planning to finish the modeling phase over the weekend…
