ljsketch

neat concept. Can't see the images in your last post.

alphajayel

a little bit of designing/testing. It's a lot easier for me to rough it out in zbrush to preview my design in 3D. Then I'd do a retopo and hand model some elements that need to be polished.

alphajayel

Update*

I tweaked the proportions and pose. Then I painted over some other elements that I still need to add on my model. Whew, still got more to do. XD

lotet

he looks really cool. if you manage to finnish it in time I think this one will be pretty epic.

ljsketch

looking good so far. I definitely like the design.

AA3D

this is super awesomeness of awesomenessfication
i think he looks better without the goggles
dat look in the first picture

alphajayel

argh, my dayjob is keeping me from completing the final sculpt!

@lotet Thanks! that's my major problem right now. hahaha I hope I make it in time!

@ ljsketch thank you!

@ AA3D hahaha thanks man! My reference is actually owls, hence the hairstyle and the goggles. But yea, Id like to give him a good expression on the face so I think ill remove the goggles in the final design.

anyway, here are some updates. I'm still no where near final XDDDDDDD
