Hey thanks for the feedback, ill get on it

I haven't done the fingers properly yet because its too low res at the moment, and i wanted to check the proportions were ok before i sub divided

Hey! Nice start! Its nice that you choose a anatomy reference to follow, but there's no secret in doing characters the more you do, the more you improve... As a first character I see some proportions mistakes to fix as tiny hands, large shoulders , torso a bit long. one thing that could help you is use the see trough option on zbrush with your reference to check the overall proportions. =D

Nice start! Keep going!

@karytsukino Hey! I didnt see your comment till today, Thanks for the encouragement & feedback!

Here where i am up to now.
No more tiny hands! Which also helped dynamesh to not merge the fingers together
Still need to work on the hand/fingers though. Also his feet and ankles are a long way off.
I have just brought an anatomy gumroad package by Rafael Grassetti, so hopefully that'll help me out going forward.

Feet need to be 200% bigger. Butt needs more mass in the gluteus maximus area. Nice progress!

Lianne

More butt, got it!
Thanks

Lianne

Still a long way to go and less free time to work on it lately ..

Have you checked your head's profile view against your references? Or photo of a man's head? The temples look awfully slanted, like a non-human.

You really shouldn't start with clothing untill you have the proportions down.

Lianne

Thanks for the feedback

I'll keep working on the head shape

@Maxilator I dont mind scraping the clothes however as far as i was aware the proportions are ok at the moment? If you could let me know what looks off that would be a big help.


Can't post a screen shot without clothes right now.

Raise the arms up to 45 degrees, palms facing down. Make it easier for riggers.

Hands really need more care and attention, and scaled up. Reading as too thin, not chunky enough.

His pectorals need to be brought out. They look way too flat, even for a fit guy like him. Think Terry Crews.

Face is not quite there yet. What references are you working from? Also, the sloped head being unnatural still applies from before.

also recheck the ears
