Some guy...... I guess........ I don't know who he is.

duncan

Thinking of starting a new character. He started off a "The Goon" but I am not 100% sure I am gonna continue with that or shoot off in a new direction. hahaha I guess I will continue with the goon until I or someone else has a cool idea.

LATEST UPDATE:

Started working on the details and his bang bang.

Caldria

Awesome proportions! His face reminds me a little of Jason Statham.

Natland

Man this guy needs to work on his legs haha. I don't think the proportions you have right now are working, but you are changing that anyways. I am excited to see what you come up with for him.

MrNinjutsu

Dude your work always inspires me, keep it coming! An this is no exception. Quite fond of the face scars man, good job on the proportions too.

Edit: Whatever happened to your Thor?

duncan

Just busting out some anatomy and proportion ideas.



@ Caldria : Thanks :thumbup: .... haha........ Jason Statham..... maybe

duncan

@ MrNinjutsu : thanks

Natland

Yeah for sure, I mean it just needs to be balanced out. I am not gonna say too much till you post another WIP because I know your awesome haha.

duncan

@ Natland : haha thanks, but you do make a good point and I will definitely play with them later on down the line :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Quick poly paint to get a bit more of a vibe

THIS.

Looks great, I see he has the cauliflower boxing ear going on.

Big upper, smaller lower, isn't that always how it is at the Gym.

Nice work, glad to see you still trucking along, lend me some motivation.

futurepoly

looks great so far. I think you should try inverting his shins a little bit more to match the sketch. It will help convey the massive upper body weight better. Can't wait to see this bad boy finished.

duncan

Thanks everyone.

@ SA_22 : Thanks I swear the videos will start when I can get more than an hour to work on something and when I get the internet at home. Poor excuses I know but thats what I got thanks again

@ D4V1DC : Ta very much, "Big upper, smaller lower, isn't that always how it is at the Gym" haha I guess so, I am more of a jogger.

@ futurepoly : Thanks for the feedback. I think the lower half is going to need some major tweeking. I am keen to see him finished too. If he comes out half a well as he looks in my head I will be happy.

New even though he does not look it.
Merged the bust with the body, Re topologised, Uv unwrap, Projected sculpt and polypaint, converted polypaint to texture as a base.



Thanks again everyone more to come soon.

duncan

More from me.

Started sculpting the jeans.

CordellC

Ah man that is totally sweet! Can't wait to see more.

Erik Rönnblom

Loving it, proper 'ard guy. Reminds me a bit of the gangster version of tom hanks in cloud atlas (in a good way) :thumbup:

makecg

Nice work man your one of my favorite 3d dudes.

kevino025

Gotta say, I love the proportions you have for this character. Are you planing on giving him something for the upper body, more scars, tattoos or even a small tank top all tattered up? Either way I'm gonna be watching this one.

Cheers!

ILLMATICC

arghhh sooooo sick dude, cant wait to see how this develops

Snader

In think his arms are disproportionate. For one, the upper arm is as long as the lower arm+hand, whereas normally the upper arm is as long as the lower arm (without the hand, so up to the wrist). They also seem to only be thick, and not have any contrasting small parts. If you look at that other guys' sketch, you'll note that though the biceps and triceps are huge, they taper down to a relatively narrow elbow, and the wrist is rather thin as well.

Along the same lines, the legs are just thin, with no extra-thin parts or somewhat chunky bits to show that this is an exaggerated form. And the face also lacks some charicaturizing features. Together these three things add up to make it look more like a disproportionate Dishonored model than a very strongly stylized cartoon like the sketch. (I know that you're not literally making that sketch, but it seems to be your main reference)

Umar6419

Great Design and Well finished !

crazyfool

looking great so far

take it with a pinch of salt as it might not be where you want to take him, but I did a quick paintover during break, excuse thr roughness hehe.

Looking at the awesome sketch up top it looks like hes all back and triceps which means he needs broader shoulders and more pronounced lats. At the moment the arms are too close I think, Ive also slightly tweaked his legs so they come in more like the stylised sketch above. ......couldnt resist a salvador version hehe.

hes lookin ace though dude!!! look forward to seeing where you take him. again its only a suggestion

AimBiZ

Crazyfool has some good points. Looking at the concept I think there is a lack of V-shape. Also the torso looks too small in width to be able to carry those huge arms.
Keep the hands at proportional size with the face though. Will make him look that much bigger.

BoBo_the_seal

you are the pants master! Looking great.

- BoBo

BradMyers82

Those proportions are crazy! I like it, haha.

I think he needs some work from the back view though. The triceps and the rear delt look a little too off even though this is a stylized piece.

Like where this is going though, keep it up!

Iciban

wow i love the style your going for! has a lot of character! totalyl following this

scotthomer

I love it!

duncan

Thanks for the rad feedback everyone.

I would make a longer post but lunch break is over so ssshhhhhhh :poly103:

Started working on his anatomy. need to go through and smooth out the muscle groups a bit and tweek. Not really happy with the shoulders so I will play with those. NEED to start on the hands. Also added a quick singlet to get the vibe.

Still so much to do.



HUGE THANKS again everyone.

AimBiZ

Proportion are loads better, although I think there's too much going on on his arms. Since all the muscles are so bulky then tend towards standing by themselves rather than unite into a single shape and flow. Again, looking at the side-drawing his forearms are much thinner than the upper arm and only the major muscular shapes are pronounced.
Don't know if its a reference or just inspiration but I think those proportions are really neat.
The legs have a very nice flow though. Transfer that feeling to the rest of the character.

afisher

Great update man. Love the proportions and style. You could maybe widen the chest and upper back a little bit further, but apart from that it's gonna be another killer piece from you

TrevorJ

This is really awesome, like others have said, i really like his proportions. Fabric folds on the pants or really nice as well.

Guedin

I love this guy Duncan !

HandSandwich

This makes me smile.

duncan

YAY! DAILY SPAM

Thanks everyone.

@ CordellC :

@ Erik Rönnblom : hahah thanks.

@ makecg : Thanks man.

@ kevino025 : Thanks. Yeah, Scars and a dirty ratty singlet. Pretty much like die hard.


@ ILLMATICC : Thanks

@ Snader : Thanks for the feedback :thumbup:. I am actually going for a bit more of a Dishonored style, basically a blend between Dishonored and that spundman sketch. I hope you are digging the vibe of this dude a bit more now. Thanks again for the great feedback.

@ crazyfool : Thanks for the rad paintovers Mr I love That mini hulk, makes me laugh. I decided to slim him down a bit instead of bulk him up. I will have a play with the legs to try and get a bit more shape. Thanks again man.:thumbup:

@ BoBo_the_seal : haha Thanks man :thumbup:

@ BradMyers82 : Thanks for the ref. Yeah I suck at anatomy, I hope they look a bit better now.

@ scotthomer : You knowz it.

@ AimBiZ : Thanks. I hope the arms don't stand out so much now. Yeah I probably should have mentioned earlier that that shot was just the initial inspiration. Style wise I guess I am going for more of a bit of a blend between the spundman and Dishonoured styles.

@ afisher : Thanks dude. I actually went the other way and took out a far bit of bulk, which I hope has the same effect. Perhaps not so I might have a play.

@ TrevorJ : Thanks.

@ Guedin : Ta very much.

@ HandSandwich : hehe

More body play. I am much happier with the torso now. Still a bit to play with and then just some more scar action. BUT FIRST...I am gonna start the hands.



Thanks again everyone :thumbup::D:thumbup:

LRoy

looks really nice but im not sure the torso thickness is working. I get what you're going for but the huge traps with no lats feels off.

duncan

@ LRoy : Thanks. Rather than pop out the lats too much (which tends to make the torso look too short), I sucked in the ribs, so they sit a little more naturally. I will play a little more tonight but I hope this is a step in the right direction. Thanks again :thumbup:

duncan

Slow going.

MM

this is looking great so far and i know you went with the narrow torso intentionally BUT it does not work aesthetically i think.

narrow torso just makes him look weak and makes the arms look fake.



there is a lot of power in that character that gets lost in the narrow torso you have.

Sukotto

I think whats throwing me is that he has a tree trunk for a neck. If you narrow his neck and shrink his head a bit you might be able to get away with the narrower torso. But right now he looks a bit like this:

mr_ace

this is coming along great, i like the direction you're taking it

Dan!

coming along great!

duncan

Thanks everyone.

@ MM : Thanks for the feedback. I had a quick play with the torso. I did not go too crazy but it is wider. I am not 100% sure which I like better now. Maybe there is just not enough difference. I tried to go really wide but it just looked silly.

Quick test. what do people think?.... thicker or thinner?

ZacD

I just feel his massive neck looks odd being larger than his waist. I think they need to have the same width for the torso to work.

MM

i would go with silly and make it real wide torso like it is in the concept.

personally i think you are being partially timid with the stylization if you don't go silly, but it is your final call.

naruSol

Wider is an improvement, but he needs more lats to go with those traps. right now they are barely even visible in the front view.

AimBiZ

My cents.

crazyfool

might be a posture issue, I had a quick play with stuff you could try. I think the main thing is the delts and lats can go alot bigger, I think its a shoulder roll problem where the shoulders are rolled down but the chest is rolled up

Ive linked the paintover here so not to muddy your thread see what you think though as it might not be right

duncan

Thanks for the feedback guys and girls.

I tried to push his proportions and I might be crazy but in the end I decided to stick with what I had, just thickened up his thighs a bit... sorry (don't hate me too much) but thank you all so much for the advice. I may still tweek bits and pieces.

Started working on the details and his bang bang.



Thanks again everyone.

MeintevdS

I'm glad you stuck with your proportions, sure it might not be anatomically correct, (And sure I might be a bit of a duncan fanboy ) but it does give the character more personality I think, and I felt like the paintovers shown by other people made him look to generic.

One of these days you should get one of your models 3D printed.

Fomori

I agree with MeintevdS in that most of the paintover's took away from your original approach (with the exception of maybe a wider torso). Love it!

crazyfool

slight necro just wanted to say Im glad you stuck to your guns, the holsters really helped fill him out in the mid section, great job
