Marine workflow
polycounter lvl 12
So I wanted to try and get a post together to start working on a new piece. I decided to get into some hard surface stuff a bit more and try to see what I can come up with. So far I started the head and got a good deal of the way along with it. Still need more texture work and hair but it's on it's way. I started with an older space suit mesh that I had to see what I could get but decided to redo it and correct proportions and other design elements that I didn't really like from the original. Anyway critique and comments are very welcome seeing that this is a challenge for me to design.
I'll posting as I go and hopefully finish this is a reasonable time...
This was the old suit.
Roughing out anatomy to get better proportions.
Beginnings of the under suit pieces. not sure if this will stay as the final, but kinda linking it so far.
Rough paintover for the mech pieces. Inspired alot by Halo and Mass Effect, but there's still a bunch that I want to change. I'll keep updating with hopefully some side and back paintovers as well.

Thanks man! Still wanna make some changes to parts of the face. Hope I can get it more lifelike at some point.
I ended up deviating from the design above and made it a full body character, instead of just the upper body that I was originally going to go with. He's somewhere around 36,000 tri's right now.
Let me know what you think!!
