Dudley College Games Design Student WIPs
polycounter lvl 6
Hello everybody. I am a games lecturer from Dudley College, U.K and the following 3D sculpts are from my games students. They range from 16 - 20 years old. Please give them some constructive criticism or feedback please. Thank you!

As for your models, I like the well presented way they're blended. The meshes are very life-like and the muscles on the faces and bodies are very realistic. They match the original source of the intended faces perfectly. I would have suggested adding a texture to your models but since you proclaimed that these models are "no where near finished", I'm sure you're fully aware on how to improve it already. Good job.

Sorry link doesn't work. I have posted one that works now.
Looking at the stuff posted, what I would say is not to get to caught up in the details of a design or sculpt and look at the character as a whole. Get the foundations of anatomy sorted out first then build on that.
It's easy to get carried away when you have all these cool tools at your disposal but think how your work would look on screen when the camera is pulled back. Does the colour scheme work, does the silhouette of the character still read well. All the fundamental things. Once you have learned the ground rules of anatomy and character creation, then you can have fun breaking those same rules! Keep it up, your only going to get better the more you learn and practice.
It's a little confusing here. Also, are these on-going project/works for them, or are these past works ?
if 10 students (even less is hard enough) post here at the same time, there will be no way to give good critics since the thread will totally get into a mass of different sculpts and nobody will have a good overview...
i would recommend that every student creates his own thread and maybe they add a shortcut in their thread title so the threads can be identified, also Mr Holmes, you could then subscribe
to each of their threads (Tools box on top of each thread and then subscribe) and get an email notification (if you like) and the threads will be highlighted in the overview.
i think this would be the most efficient way for you and the students (and us :P)
mark your link and click it and we can see the images
Use reference, study how many heads long each element of the human body is.
Right now his head looks like it's jammed into his torso with little neck.
the second picture shows muscular anatomy guidelines you can look at when you sculpt
also the blue color indicates some subcutaneous bone areas which can be good for landmarks.
the third picture shows the skeleton which you can use to get a better idea of the underlying framework of the body. the acromion process is a bit off, i did it really quick, it should be flush with the skin
feel free to PM me any WIP and i can give feedback
great work
