stylized superman
polycounter lvl 17
Hey folks this is my first post in this awesome forum. So im working on this stylized superman. Gonna take him through zbrush later when i have got the topology sorted out. So come on give me all your tips on topology.

If you plan on taking this into zbrush, I reccomend getting rid of some of those triangles, especially the one on the hairline and by the pecs aswell as the one on the jawline, those are gonna pinch badly in zbrush.
You dont have to worry about the topology too much if your'e gonna take it into zbrush, just make sure there aren't many triangles. Dense, fancy topologies can even lead to problems in zbrush.
yupp and thats kind of the meaning with the whole concept. Everyone knows he is superman but doesnt care :> Will try to get the mesh as ready as possible for uvmapping and zbrush today.

in that case he just would never wear glasses at all,, its not like he needs them to see, they are aprt of the disguise, if he just didnt care if people knew.. he would just not wear them as clark kent,
I don't know much about anatomy, but there seems to be an overly harsh edge between those neck muscles and the shoulder. I realize that the bulging muscles are a stylistic choice, but I don't think it works as is.
Also, you haven't yet mentioned restrictions. What sort of polycount/texture size are you shooting for? I think there's a lot of room for optimization.
this is what ive got.
whole face is sqeezed onto ront bottom quater give it more room
esp the nose its too small at present.
the neck looks saggy too.
that said, the neck is seeming a bit too exaggerated and turkey-ish, and like shepeiro said the nose could use some more weight. the primary problem is the space between the features (particularly the eye) and the ear. there's way too much space there, it's like his face is being pulled away from the back of his head. hard to tell if this is a problem that was present in your pre-zbrush model.
would consider cutting down on the nose-to-lip creases (nasolabial???) and the upper lip, to keep him young and super.

oh, and i think he needs thicker wrists. really make him feel powerful.
And yeah, it's better to sort out the volumes before adding the small stuff like stubble and pores, it just becomes a ball ache later on
boy hes a bruiser
bicep muscles looking a bit odd as it approaches the elbow?
i want to see a cape
Here is a little cape
hm i don't know... the biceps appear to be better in this later render, it could just be the angle/lighting.
what i especially like about it is the face that you redesigned him the way i always though he was : basically a simple minded big brawned hero
Nice work though
Lol he looks like Joey from Friends:
