[FIGHTER] Street Fighter GUILE - seth.
polycounter lvl 14
I'm going to be doing Guile as either a WW1 or WW2 fighter pilot, haven't settled on that yet. Good luck everyone and all that

well I can't rig for toffee so rather than make a mess of it I have decided to leave out the pose, so no official submission from me, but I did get the character finished in time at least.
Here's my finals:
thanks for all the kind words and encouragement along the way folks, I feel like i learned a lot to take forward to number five, I already know some stuff that I will do differently in the future, and yet again I need to get my head around rigging......I think I have a lot to learn about texturing still first though

*edit* ooooh definate proportion change on the legs up next....they are huge....I am so blind
the hair flares out too far for my taste, maybe get it a little closer to vertical cropped with a slight flare effect.
raise up the crotch.
ViktorSan: thank you. The pilot thing had to stay.
suburbbum: It's cool man, the hair is just there till I make his flying cap, couldnt stand looking at his shiney head any more, sorry I should have mentioned that in my last post but I wasn't expecting replies.
Firebert : agreed on the croch, my next job is going to be scaling the legs a little better, his arse is huge atm too!.....I am thinking old woolen vest for his torso, after that I will have a look at if the brown leather officers coats ( the nicle long ones) will work well on him.
circle of friends: I do see what you mean....its a bit more dress-up than re-design at the moment....I will have a think
DLoud: totally....and brylcream too.
sorry if I come across like I'm reading crits and saying "oh yeah i'm doing that" to look all clever and shit.....2D isn't my strong point so I tend to concept out in 3D and add stuff as I go rather than having a fixed illustration that I work from at the start, because of that I have a lot of stuff still to add thats just in my head....once again thanks for the feedback. Very much apriciated
Guile was a pilot in the 1st Aero Squadron of the U.S. Army signal corps (pre USAF ) while on a recon flight his plane was shot down by the red Bison, top German air ace of the time. Guile survived but was terribly burnt, his gunner Charlie however was killed on impact. After several surgeries, torn with pain and guilt he discharges himself in order to get back to the front and avenge his crewman.
now, do I go all spawnesque on Guile and burn him up, making him a sort of Anti-hero?
I have sketched it out, the "clean "head is very early in, sorry.
I have also sketched out a couple of hat variants, I wanted the officers hat to echo the shape of his hair, the other is a period flying cap
Am I wrong in the head, should this be a subject thats left alone or is it a cunning twist to help the character into his setting/backstory?....and hats! Feedback much apriciated.
other things to do over the weekend, just getting back onto this now. I know more about ww1 officers belts than I ever wanted to
still got to detail it in zbrush....maybe add a holster too.
EDIT - my better half spotted that he has a shrunken head, so thats been fixed
suburbum: thanks mister
ViktorSan: thanks man, The shape has stayed the same with the high poly for the hat and goggles done now....I know that most of the noise wont translate in the final maps, but you know when you just fancy doing something cos.....well it was a bit like that.

ta very much for looking
Brian stann...angry bastard
so didnt get as much done as i wanted too.....had to spend the morning doing computer things and audio driver stuffs.....headache!
Going to sort his trouser arse and arms/torso tomorrow I think....fingers crossed the HP will be done by the end of the weekend and I can get onto the tricky bits.
thanks for looking
nice job man, this is really coming together
thanks very much for the comments though man, much appriciated
+edit+ well it looks like i have fallen into the trap of alternate costume instead of re-design doesn't it....meh what the hell, I'm going to finish him anyway....I was thinking about changing tack to a sort of human/mutant shadow sonic from smash brothers brawl...but nope , i'm sticking with Guile....there i said it so it must be true.

I'm sure that I will think of a few extra bits of surface detail that I want to add while I do the low poly.
I'm going to pull out of the challenge, and just finish him for the sake of making something pretty. I have come to the conclusion that its not a re-design so dont see the point of continuing under the Brawl banner. Also I'm not a fan of these sorts of things really, I take a recent lack of comments/crits to heart when I know that I shouldn't but I would rather drop it than feel sad
thanks for looking and all that.
So yeah, *pats butt*. Keep it up!
Also, I like the hat size the way you've got it. The shape sells it as guile, and making it as large as his hair will look silly based on the rest of the proportions you've got.
I know that I must look like a right drama queen, and I apologise if thats the interpretation that comes across.....the constant rejection cycle of job hunting is getting to me a bit I think so I dont have much confidence in myself or my work at the moment....hence I'm a sulky git
JordanW: thanks
JMYoung: ta much, but there's no need to be sorry at all, if there's not much to say about the piece then theres not much to say, its odd I get that no one is obliged to recieve crit/comments just cos they post an image up but at the same time if you work in isolation too long I think you need that little pick me up....oh and thanks for the but pat coach
marq4porsche: also thanks
Onuris: thanks man, I know that you are talking sense but its best for me to just back out and finish this piece for myself rather than expecting to feel part of something and being a sulky bastard about it
Ta very much once again for the kind words
Enough of me rambling though......POLYCOUNT IS NOT MY BLOG
