Dem Ol' BigHands

Hofsta

Hey guys!
Haven't posted here in a depressingly long time. Getting my ass into gear with something new and different. Trying to push my comfort zone with a more exaggerated version of a character I concepted but never modeled years ago. Aiming to have some fun and get some good crits along the way!

Here's the concept.



and here's the basemesh I have working so far. Would really appreciate some crits on the overall shape and silhouette.

This looks really cool! If anything his face has a sort of sumo wrestler, E. Honda thing going with how big his expression is. I would pull it back to more of the tough mafioso look he has in the concept. So yeah, soften up the cheeks a bit and lower his eyebrows. Really dig this character. Can't wait to see progress.

Hofsta

Thanks man. Yeah, now that you point it out I see it. I'll dial things back and try to nail the concept a little better. My next step is to retopo to get a little more even poly flow. Right now the face and hands are pretty whack.

he's missing a wenis

Did some work on the face. Reading a little more like the concept, but I'm nowhere near done with it. Right now what this needs is some cleaner topology, thats the next order of business.

Looking good!
I think he can lose a pair of abs haha.
Can't wait to see your progress, keep up the good work.

Hofsta

Haven't been around in a while so progress has been non-existent. Worked a bit today blocking out some clothes. Tell me what ya'll think!

I really like the big hands, it's one of those unique style choices you look and just say "that's freaking cool looking". Great work so far!

Hofsta

So, I didn't die or anything, but I did get distracted with other work and life. I'm back to it though, added some hard surface elements and hoping to have more progress by tonight.

Crits welcome as always!

Not a fan of the face/hair style; also the neck could be shorter to compliment the bulkiness of the shoulders. Otherwise pretty awesome!

Hofsta

The face is still very rough, lots of work to do there still. Is the concept just not your thing or do you not like the execution of it in the sculpt? I might shorten the neck a bit, but I'm worried that too much and he wont have one at all!

Anyhow, thanks for the feedback, I've been severely lacking any for a while now.

Hofsta

Finally found some time for this again. Does anyone else think I'm never gonna finsih this character? :X

Well, here's a robo arm wip anyways

Hofsta

Thanks Amile!

I'm not super happy with what I have at the moment. Mainly the Thermal vanes are bugging me. Not sure what to do about them so maybe they will get scrapped Would love some feedback!
