Shredder
interpolator
Hi there! So, what the point? Im finally watched TMNT movie and IMO it sucks, sucks hard. I wanted to give a justice to Shredder, he is not a dude in a power-armor, he is badass ninja! So here he is. First I watched a lot of concepts a god damn movie and started a hi-poly model.
Sculpted a whole face but, em, u know...mask and stuff.
Already made low poly, unwrapped it, baked normals/AO. Now im in the middle of texturing.
Not happy with how mask looks like:( need to fix it. Then, attach hands to arms with some armor piece i think. And totally remake spikes and claws.
Then pose but i have a rig already, hope its not gonna be hard to skin model on it.
Please give me feedback, im here trying to became better artistt:)

Anyway, next step - rigging-pose and texture tweaks.
But what's with the 2-toed turtle feet? Is he supposed to be wearing sandals or something?
Could post shots form different angles. ?
But got lazy...and you see the result:(. As my father says - lazy makes twice so I will remake them. Also finished the rig and skinned him so ill show result with fixed boots a little bit later.
Moving up, I think that the skirt should go around and be connected to the loincloth and have more scales, and the scales should be weightier. The loincloth should be more diamond-shaped, with a point as it comes down.
The area where the biggest improvements can be made is the head. Definitely needs a lot of work. I'd recommend a metal mask over the mouth, and the pointy thing at the top should be a little wider. The scales coming don't he side just don't feel right, they're way too bent, and the bits coming around to the eyes look more likened to a medieval Europe aesthetic than a feudal Japanese one.
Also, don't be afraid to experiment with your colour palette. Try differing metal shades, and try different cloth colours as well and see what gives you the best look. And yes, I agree that the claws are too long.
Overall, I like what you're doing. However, there is improvement to be made.
EDIT:
Oh, and here's some references of some pretty cool shredders you could use.

Thanks for advises! Well, I am made him new shoes and think they're ok right now. I thought about metal mask but decided to leave cloth but with some jaws on it so it looks more interesting.
Right now I'm choosing pose to put Shredeer on some background:) Wich one do you like more?
I thought about that but right now im planning to make my own character from 2d concept to animated model(Im shitty 2d artist so I need to learn and practice a lot). And also I'll animate Shredder, probably he will stand in idle pose.

Its silk, he is leader of foot clan so Shredder needs only best, like silk, velour and brand sports shoes from nike, you can't see logo but its there
