Space Baddie from 2XXX

Zephir62

This is my first character I've completed from start to finish. I believe I'm almost done, although I'd like to do more work on the normal map but I don't really know what to add. The problem is that the way I have the UVW coordinates set up I can't add normal detail to the individual body parts.








He weighs in at around 10k faces. Comments and criticism are welcome! I'm always learning, so fire away

you could probably add alot more detail to that armor, both in the normal map and the diffuse.

Some pointers:

-Give us a wireframe shot, it would make this much easier to crit.
-Don't use black as a background, it makes the model very hard to see, use 50% grey
-It's hard to crit the head and its texture with the angle you've given us. I suspect you used this angle to hide texture stretching?
-Learn how to paint the texture of the head, or use your photo references more effectively (use front and side photos)
-Add some interest to the armour by using a colour scheme, and adding some wear and tear to the armour.
-Crop your images

The hair looks good, and this isn't bad for your first character.

Here's a wireframe and a shot of the head for ya. I assure you that the angle I gave the first render was to help show the hair along with the face and nothing more




As for the head texture, yes, I did use a front and side-view of two different people. I'm doing this model for someone else and they don't really want any wear and tear on the armor, just solid shiny gold.

did you use antionio banderas for the eyes?
