Green Lantern

Manberg

Hello everyone

this is my Green Lantern / Hal Jordan 3D Model and i wanted to ask for feedback and criticism , please go ahead and leave your critique , i made this model as if it was made for a game so it's lowpoly and the hair is hair cards (i wanted to train on that workflow)
the thing that im not very satisfied with is the hair , i would love to know how i can improve , so you are free to roast my work as much as you like
Cheers

Hiya Manberg!
Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas!

Kudos on getting a full character finished and posed. That can always be a struggle. Just....finishing.

So, looking at this character, I'm not seeing it as appearing very "low poly". I see almost no faceting or indication anywhere that this is game resolution. He seems pretty heavy on the triangle count. What are his specs (Tri + Vert count, texture sets & resolutions)?

To me, this doesn't read as "Hal Jordan" - Green Lantern. This looks rather like a man of Asian ancestry. This almost looks like Kyle Rayner wearing Hal's costume.

I feel Hal Jordan should look a little older, more weathered in the face. He is often presented with graying at his temples/sides of his brown hair.

I hope you don't mind, but I've done a little paint-over to show the direction I'd try to push him.

Hello @ScoobyDoofus ScoobyDoofus 

im very pleased that you took the time to comment on my post and make corrections ! , thank you for that

so first of all you are right about the polycount , the character is lowpoly BUT i smoothed it for the sake of the renders
(maybe i shouldn't have done that haha)
the polycount is (18.4 k vertices / 20.2 k faces / 33.4 k tris) so here's a render without smoothing:

for the second point i kinda agree with you that it doesn't very much like Hal Jordan ,However i don't agree with the ''older'' look you gave him.
in the comics and in the animated movies / shows he looks pretty young


the only instance i saw him looking older is in the show ''Young Justice'' : 
but that's about the only time i saw him looking like this every other media adaptation and in the comics he looks young
i'm still not sure what i need to do to make him look more like hal , i noticed this when i was working on it and i tried to make him look
more like hal by editing his hair a bit : 

im not sure if this has done anything though 

let me know what you think
thanks again for taking the time to reply and even make an illustration that looks good i'm surprised you made it this quick  

Cheers
