with that said. i feel you could exagerate him to fit into that manga comic style you mentioned. maybe add more cuts and scrapes with bandages and bandaids. and give him a shotgun! he seems like a quick runner type character. and i love me some tf2
cant wait to see where you go with this
i love the boots
that being said, I don't think he's appealing enough yet, his face is mean and old looking
And looks like a teenager to me, which I assume is the intended age?
Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to sculpt that?
BetelGeist- yeah "tank girl" its in my mind ...i will play a bit with weapons...my main idea was to give him a modern laser cannon like kaneda had in akira...we´ll see...
konstruct- thanks man ...i ma glad you like it...
Baj Singh- thanks ..yeah we´ll see ...
Neox- yeah it´s no child ...he´s definetly a teen maybe 17 or so ...crazy, without fear, little muscular, but not a man...what you mean would be the right name for that class?... thanks im glad you like it so far...
cadyw- thanks ...oh that is good if he reminds you of Beyond its my favorite animatrix episode...yeah i won´t do a child...
rumblesushi- thanks ...so around 17...
nothing much sculpted yet...two days for the shoes...and 5 days for the character till now...but the main part is done out of zbrush...but im slow because i have no concept and im trying stuff and model a lot for testing ...
here is an update ..as mentioned its a lot of testing so tell me what you think...im not sure it´s going the right way...

This guy looks like he's funded by Adidas. lol
but i have put something togheter for you
here is an update...
(if you scale down his mouth a bit, he'll look a little younger)
something seems weird about the legs. I`m having a tough time putting my finger on it, but i think maybe his shins are a little long, or maybe his legs need to be a bit fatter./
It could just be the shin guards tho because it looks akay from the back. Maybe try loosing one of the shin guards to see if it sorts anything out-
love the cup holder btw.
Any chance you can detail how you went about making all those harnesses and straps, they are done quite well, and i don't think ive ever seen so many on one character before
BTW that drink cup is a great idea, that little stuff is what helps make a character out of a model. Tells some back story and helps set the mood.
drillerkiller - absolutely- the cloth are not final atm. i would like to know what you mean and how i should push the silhouette...
rumblesushi- nice explanation for him- i will use that:
The high def spec on a slightly more imaginative, arcadey character design.
konstruct thanks- yeah i will try some more (legs/shins) i would like to have them also little more asymetrically...i´m opened for any advice improving this fella...
hijak- most of them were done by purely polygon pushing...but i have done a little step-by-step tutorial for the smal strap from his right leg ...this part was a bit trickier...so i hope it hepls you a bit...
