Mass Effect Fan Art project

Latest update:


Hey everyone!

I'm gonna start with a new project, creating a character fitting for the Mass Effect universe. The goal is to have a game ready character presented in marmoset viewer.

I've used the ME3 Shepard n7 armor as a base concept and modified it. The character is supposed to be inspired by Garrus efforts on Omega and trying to be a bit like him (kinda like Shepards fan, but less annoying and do more good).

Here is my initial concept, I tend to change a little bit on the way, but hopefully I'll stick to it.

Comments, critiques and ideas are welcome, I'm gonna start model right away and update here everyday I work, keeping the thread going. I'll always post the most recent in the first post.

Thanks for watching, gonna blast the Mass Effect soundtrack and do some work!

Todays work, got pretty far with the body block out. Gonna fix the rifle, helmet and omniblade next and polish the body a bit.

Almost done with the clean block out!

Block is finished! Now to the fun stuff!

looking super cool so far.  One thing that feels off to me though is the midriff section.  I feel like waste area could stand to be tightened up and maybe lengthened just a tad.  In your concept he has a slightly skinnier waistline.

I'm really digging that helmet so far, can't wait to see it with the white paint on it.

Started out with the highpoly, got pretty far, a lot of small details left as well as some big shapes (spine area). 

@Chronicle: Thanks! I think my 2D skills didn't really make it look right in the end haha. I changed him slightly when I started with the 3D. I think I'll make a test texture for the visor, trying it out and see if it works fine in 3D too (Y)

Been away for a couple of days but I'm back with an update, started to give him ton of stuff. The weapons are from the game, using them as temp/block models. Cheers!
