Captain America Gladiator from "Planet Hulk" comic.

Hi to everyone. I'm new to this forum and it's my first post here. Character that i'm working on now is based on the concept that I find on the internet
. Sculpting the anatomy and its still pretty basic.  I want to now what you think about it, proportion and etc. So please leave your comments. Thanks.

Boomer

Add I little bit more details. Having hard time with the head. 

Boomer

Rework the head and add some armor base

Just some thoughts:
I think your base figure could use some work. The arms look long and the legs look short. The feet look small and they are small in reference to the hands. The leg musculature around the thigh looks a bit odd and the fore leg looks too thin and short. The tricept is really split into 2 muscles at the back. The face in the reference illustration looks more expressive and in character with the figure.

Thank You for pointing me  out in the right detection!!! I decided to start this guy from the beginning taking proportions in consideration. Still a lot to be done.

C&C are welcome!!!

I think this Already looks way better!

Boomer

Little Update, I sculpted base head

Boomer

Up, some body changes and head 

Boomer

Some head updates
 

Boomer

Some hands and feet closeups and overall character right now, think that I will move to detailing and adding armor. 

Boomer

Several pics how's looking in armor and with temp hair mesh

Boomer

Some boot detailing. I cant figure out how to model that scale armor on his "dress". Maybe some tips ???

Boomer

The best that I can come up with. I create tillable normal map and create opacity map with holes and tears on game res model. Hope to hide that ugly seam behind the cloth.

Hey Boomer, I think you can use micromesh for the scales.  I don't have much experience with it myself (I'm just learning Zbrush right now) but hopefully someone who does can give you more insight on how to use it.

Looking at the development, guess u are looking for a realistic style. Or are u planning to give him a comic look at the end as in the concept?
I am not into micromesh, but maybe u can get something with insert meshes.

It's been so long since I read planet hulk.

Nice work!
I think the legs need more attention. They seem very straight without much attitude so atm they look kinda stiff. The thighs seem a little inflated and their relationship to the lower leg seems off. Also the muscles are not right yet. I think as the upper leg is quite a feature you should work on them more. I like the way the waist cloth falls. The lower leg guards look a little rubbery, maybe a bit of variation in the hard and softness of the folds and some material variation will help them look less melty.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Really appreciated!

Thanks for the link, Im going for realism as far as my skills let me. I`ve tried to use Nanomesh and IMM brushes and got this result. And I think that will work after playing with some settings.

Legs bugs me too so I change pose to more relax and rework volumes and muscles as you advised. Please let me now if now it looks better. Thanks!

Boomer

Final version of his head, I think....

mik.fisher

Find his skull so big. I would reduce it from the top and the back. Maybe his ears are a bit low.
Also, if you are going to begin adding detail, I would stop using symmetry and break it with medium shapes.
Like the hero features, looks promising

Thanks for your help!!! I've tried to fix the head, add some volume.
