Here are my final comps -

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

So im horrible at drawing but here is my idea. not liking it to be honest.

So for this shield he has a demon and a goat? but for a lumberjack im thinking maybe a bear or a beaver? wolf maybe?

ambitious_nomad · Oct 2014

Looking awesome can't wait to see the 3d. Go bear all the way!

juancaratino · Oct 2014

Nice to see here Turista

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

same to you juan. I try to stay active

Mstankow · Oct 2014

Shouldn't his shield be a log or pile of logs?

could be, but would be sorta boring. maybe a bear biting a log? or just a bear lol not sure yet. ill see what i can come up with.

ty for the suggestion.

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

Let the games begin.

Khronos · Oct 2014

Neox · Oct 2014

i think you should definitely stick to the proportions of your concept, they are kick ass, the ones you have right now are much more tame and anatomical

Braymor · Oct 2014

I agree with Neox yur concepts proportions look sweet

Notes · Oct 2014

IF you can incorporate a blue bull in there....that would be sweet. It will definitely give some of the older folks that nostalgia feeling.

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

lol thanx guys! yeah im kinda digging the proportions right now, I might tweak them out a bit more though, make his upper body a bit wider.

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

Testing out proportions, I might go bigger like you guys said.

makecg · Oct 2014

i think its too crazy in the mid section. but yeah i would go with proportions in your drawing and I like the shirt more than shirtless

Lazar · Oct 2014

Dude I dig it!

ambitious_nomad · Oct 2014

Awesome work! The proportions right now are looking really good. I would say go ahead and play with the chest size but right now you are in a good place.

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

Ill play around with it tonight. Ill make the concept size and this one and put them side to side. Just worried about not wanting to exaggerate to much.

jeebs · Oct 2014

glad to see another braum

, nice start, but I think he should have a bit longer and thinner legs.

also while I was looking for some refs for myself, I saw this one, which would be perfect for you I think

OMG THAT WAS MY IDEA!!!

well at least i can use it a bit as reference now lol... see thats what i was thinking for his shield actually, just the head of a bear but I wanted my shield to be more like an actual LOG that was carved by braum.

TigerStudio · Oct 2014

cooooooooooooooooool
nice work

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

Still working on proportions. (he will have a shirt) eventually.

i think his hands are a bit small as well.

Khronos · Oct 2014

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

yeah im still playing around with shapes. i added some clothing just to give me a better idea.

also started to get some ideas for the shield. so far i dont like it lol

jeebs · Oct 2014

looks a lot better, I think

and yeah his hands are a bit small, can't wait to see the improvement

ambitious_nomad · Oct 2014

Yep hands are a little small but it is looking great overall. The wrinkles in the pants are bugging me a little right now just a small thing and probably something that will get changed but I thought I would mention.

RogerP · Oct 2014

Looking good bro! keep it up

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

not sure if i should do a jacket or no? suggestions?

also need some suggestions on the shield im kinda stuck. im in between i like it and i really truly hate it.

Lazar · Oct 2014

I say no Jacket! Feels a little too stuffy when he has it on. Tehehe that sounds funny.

Lookin good mate!

RaFu · Oct 2014

I would say without jacket also. And for the shield, I actually feel exactly as you do

Maybe you should try something more organic, more round and soft ?

Nuclear Angel · Oct 2014

I vote no jacket as well! =D
Regarding the shield, why not try make him hold a huge old tree that he once chopped down? You could make engravings in it, to make it look like a shield that was forged from the mightiest of trees. Just my thought ^^. But something more organic I'd say.

Skyerzz · Oct 2014

I agree that the no jacket is the way to go. I also think that the Shield should be made of a tree since he is in lumberjack mode. This is totally cause I'm Canadian but he needs the hat. But it might cause the identity of the character to be lost.

ambitious_nomad · Oct 2014

No jacket! Keep playing with the shield lovin the progress!

Squals · Oct 2014

No Jacket and you could do like Thorrin Oakenshield and well have an Oakenshield haha

Thanx everyone for the great feedback. ill be taking his jacket off

as far as the shield my friend did suggest to make it an old tree as well, im just not sure i wanted just a "log" and since ive never actually carved an animal into a piece of wood im not exactly sure how to do it here. BUT! today i will be spending my whole breakfast, lunch and dinner looking at some wood carving competitions. maybe that will help?

unless someone has a good idea then please do a paintover lol

ambitious_nomad · Oct 2014

I wish I had time for a paint over sadly I don't even have time to work on my project...

I think I would work on the shape/silhouette of the shield. The outer part of the shield instead of having it completely carved away I would have tree bark. Of course in the center I would have the giant carving of the bear and filling in around the bland/white space a simple geometric pattern that is roughly cut away like an axe was used to carve it.

Sorry I can't do more for you but that is my idea. Good luck!

Golden Yak · Oct 2014

No jacket, and make the shield into a fireplace with the bear-head hanging from the mantle! You can do it!

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

how is this idea for the shield?

i hope you guys like it I actually took the time and carved in most of this instead of sculpting on. i never thought "carving" in zbrush was such a pain.

juancaratino · Oct 2014

Like it alot Diego, maybe more pop out Bear Face, is strange inside the wood

RaFu · Oct 2014

I love this new shield, it fits perfectly to your concept, to me.

Nokerov_R · Oct 2014

Looking good!!!

Chantel-sky · Oct 2014

I agree with @juancaratino, definitely need to have the bear face pop out a little.

ambitious_nomad · Oct 2014

Seems a little like my idea. I like it. Is he holding a fish or is that a bear mustache though?

Lazar · Oct 2014

O_O That shield is the best idea of all shields. Totally goes with his lumberjack theme!! Dude, rocking it!!

Thanx guys! that was attempt number 4 and finally its coming out good.

its a fish! but we can add a mustache lol

or maybe not...

@Chantel-sky I agree with @juancaratino, definitely need to have the bear face pop out a little.

I cant really make it pop out more, the wood only goes out so far and the bear should only go out just as far, remember im representing a bear carved into a log, not just sculpting a bear into an empty log.

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

Update on some of the clothing, hands, boots.

Khronos · Oct 2014

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

Taking a break from the main design and doing my shield Poro with a teddy bear hat.

ps: might add a little bear tail or something. not sure.

Rambo4you · Oct 2014

I love what you are getting at.

DiegoTeran · Oct 2014

small update on the shield idea. I think i need to bring out the bears chin some more and of course keep working on the wood patterns.

my poro looks cute lol

ps: im thinking the Ax will be the shields handle? yeah?
