[Mixamo Contest] - Tommytune - Mountain Man (WIP)

Tommytune

Hello everyone! This is my first time in a character competition. The work already posted is awesome I hope to achieve the same. I'm thinking hes a mountain man like James Felix "Jim" Bridger with all his bearded awesomeness, but equipped with some modern tools, weapons and gadgets. This is just a place holder for now will post a reference sheet later this evening. Good luck everyone!

Here is a reference sheet I made for the character still trying to work out a his story.

Hi Tommytune! I'm going a fur trapper / mountain man too! Great minds think alike, eh? I can't wait to see what you make :]

TyC

I am a big fan of the fur trapper ideas, those references with the wolf or bear as a head are super. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with either!

Thanks ShelleyR and TyC for your comments. I finally have some time to get into this now that summer is here and have started on a 2d concept. This is my first time trying to do a concept before modeling so crits are welcome. I know I still have a lot to learn about anatomy and perspective but am going to try to push and complete this challenge in order to learn as much as I can. I am trying to figure out his gear and clothing. I am also working on a bear trap that can be launched from a hand mechanism with a chain on it like scorpion from mortal combat he can us to climb catch prey or defend himself. Hopefully I can flush more out today. Good Luck,all the work is looking so good.
