a little advance for the armor and a first attempt for a space colony which will be used in the background as i felt my concept sketch point of view is a little too close… So i will give a little room around the character and use some “props” as this in the background to emphasis the space opera feeling. I’ll post a new concept sketch with these modification in a couple of days.
What do you guys think about it?
Merci mon grand, les textures ne sont pas définitives, mais j’ai pris ton avis en compte pour la suite… cf. le dernier update…
Merci pour le C&C et bosse ton anglais 
Thanx CineMac4D, the textures are not definitive yet, but i took your opinion in acount and i’ve changed the armor shine down (see the update pics)
Thanx for the C&C and work out your english

roooh l’autre…
t’a deja de la chance que j’ai daigné d’essayer de jeter un coup d’oeil a ton truc… 
non plus franchement, pour les textures j’imaginais bien qu’elles étaient pas definitives, mais j’essaie toujours de descendre les gars lors de leur WiP et c’est mon argument n°1…
zut alors maintenant tu vas pas te gener sur mes prochains WiP
Stay Wild!

Sam…I like the idea of opening up more…More space,it does not have to be endlessly large,but enough to give that Space Opera feeling…Sometimes when things get too large most is lost…Just keep a nice balance of Foreground Background and that all important middle ground…The middle ground leads the eye to the back-ground and allows the eye to leave the foreground and then get to the back-ground…Too many cases I notice the middle ground is left too open…
Well it’ss good to hear you will open things up a bit more,I’ll check back later…:arteest:
@deadly force: thank you, I’m also waiting for your first shots
@virtuoso: Thank you for the advice, i’ll keep it in mind
…back to the mine :wip:
This is a most interesting take on the theme, and I do have a soft spot for this particular type of traditional japanese design. The only problem would be to open it up for the ‘grand’ bit of the brief, though I see you’re already brainstorming for a solution. Keeping an eye on this. The modeling looks really solid so far.
@JamesMK: You’re right about the “grand” side of my project i have to improve it. As Virtuoso gave me a good advice i am going to keep it in mind while thinking it over. But it doesn’t change the modelling part of the project so i have some time before i’ll improve that part.
I’ll post an update for the guy real soon.
Continuing the guy’s armor; i’ll finish the hand for sure but i don’t think i’m going to go below the knees; unless i need this guy standing on his feet on the definitive picture… so far, even though i’ll upgrade my concept sketch soon, this guy is supposed to be as drawn. So no real need for feet. I’m trying to model only what is needed for the picture and i have 3 more character to do :argh: (and a lot of tweaking for sure… 2x :argh: ), so i won’t loose the precious time left with unused geometry.
the hands, not too accurate but as it won’t be really close from the point of view… anyway, i’ll add some detail with the texture i guess.
thanks for your comments
Good modeling! This is shaping up nicely 
Only crit I’ve got to offer is that his belly looks a tad bit squarish. That aside, it’s pretty much perfect.
Thank you JamesMK,
you are right, i think that his belly is definitely too squarish… i’ll do it again. But i want to start his hips first to know how i’ll need to model his belly again (for example with a belt it’ll be different than without…)
Thanks for the comment; it is very helpfull when it come to parts we are not sure of
Here’s the guy finished; i’m now going to start the lady. I may change some stuff when all the characters will be modeled (of course the textures will ahve to “fit” together).
Let me know if you feel something is wrong.
C&C most welcome
yeah!!!
the modeling is very good, good work.
but…the head is maybe too big compared to the body…
Here is a side view for you CineMac4D, i think the point of view was making the head bigger… let me know if it is still looking to big.
What do the other guys (and girls) think?
Coming along quite well sam…Some nice modeling,this will be quite nice,and match your concept/story very well…It’s good to see,I think your idea is unique and it’s good to see some nice modeling to match your ideas…:arteest:
I think the proportions are right on,the side angle shows this very well…For me I seem to always go for the caricature style or the human/toon cross,the realistic toon,so I almost dont know what real proportions are anymore;) …But in looking at your’s i think they are just fine…
Keep it up,your doing a fine job,see this to the end,I think it will be something for you to be proud of,I’ll be watching as you go,you can count on it…:arteest: 
@Virtuoso : thanks for your comments and support! It’s really helpfull and pushing forward when you know people are following your project’s evolution, thanks again.
Here’s the start of the mean lady. I’m not happy with her face, i tweak it soon to give her more wrinkles. I’m now fighting hard for the cloth material modelling :banghead: …
:wip: :wip: :wip:
That armor suit looks really cool you know !
Maybe I have a small crit to make :
Your characters seem to be well proportioned but there is something wrong with their face.
In fact it depends of the look you them to have. I think that their head, I mean their face is too flat. It should not be very difficult or time consuming to round their shape assuming that you want some realistic looking heads (maybe by pulling the nose ahead and moving some points at the corner of the eye backwards).
Anyway your work is excellent so far and I must admit that those squary looking heads fit nicely with the shapes of the armors.
See ya !
