Breath of Fire - Ryu

Bar0n

Hello everyone,
I started working on Ryu from Breath of Fire. Next step is to add details then retopo and texturing.



this is the original concept

Love Breath of Fire 4, which I think is where the concept is from, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!

It's from Breath of Fire 3, although the 4th one is quite similar.
The first two episodes were among the first rpgs that I intensively played

Shyralon

I loved breath of fire, especially the first 2
Body and proportions look quite good for me, I think the hands/fingers need some more work, right now they are just straight, give them some up and downs from the knuckles (can be seen well on the concept).
Also something feels a bit weird on the face, but I can't tell what exactly bothers me, since the image is so small..
Really excited to see what you make out of this

Bar0n

Hey, thank you for your comment. I agree with you for the hands and for the face too, i'm constantly tweaking it, but I still have to get it right.
I'll post some updates soon.

quick update

added some details


and tweaked the face a bit, looks better I think

PyrZern

He looks....... fat... to me.
His body too long and arms too short.

i have started working on the textures

Maximum-Dev

That looks really off.

looks off?

update

Haftoof

Eyes are to wide-set and a bit large, might be the lack of eyelids. The mouth needs some work and lacks a strong jawline, his face isn't very manly with the face being so rounded and child-like.

Definitely too chunky in the face and as PryZern said his torso is too long and has short arms. Among the anatomy issues his hair is clay like and lacks the prominent "pointyness" of the anime style.

i agree that with the face, altough he is just a boy, but maybe i have to make him a stronger shape

Haftoof

You can keep the face softer by having curves along the jaw-line, but you don't want the jaw to be one big curve that wraps around the chin also.

Tectonic

I really don't think you captured the face. and the shoulders look too broad.
here are some other examples of character where the anime face is done well:

thank you all for the replies! I'll work on it and update as soon as i can
