Dominance War II - Jaco
polycounter lvl 17
This Shadow is a sabotage, assassination, recon and demolitions expert. He uses speed, agility and poison based attacks get as far as possible behind enemy lines. His mission, once behind enemy lines, is to spread death and disease, whilst reporting on the enemy's positions (via a feed that is sent from his goggles)
His main weapon is poison. He has a variety of grenades that contain deadly viruses that spread from soldier to soldier at an incredibly rapid rate. He also uses it to poison the enemy's water supply and rations.
He has the ability to jump great distances, and use his tail both as a weapon and a method of hiding. (can wrap his tail around roof supports or pipes, and hang hidden in the shadows)
Ive done some thumbnails, and this is the one Ive settled on:
Update 11th March
The thing around the shield is temporary.
Close-up of the chest shield:
Update 5th March
Update! I don't know if I'm going to keep the head as it is... The things poking out behind him are part of a poison generator, those crystals are melted and the resultant acid pumped into his blood stream.
Paintover of where I'm heading:
Update 3rd March
Small update, still blocking in the armour.
That's cloth wrapped around his pelvis. Greebles pending.
Update 1st March
Some progress on the basemesh, and I've started blocking in the armour.
Update 24th
The latest quick concept, there's a posion generator on his back, those crystals poking out are melted and injected into his bloodstream.
Update 17th
This is basically the direction I'm going to take with the armour, minus a codpiece and some random bits of armour and cloth:
He will have a poison generator on his back that generates, and then pumps a potent chemical mixture into his blood stream. This results in poison pods/grenades which grow on his upper legs (in reach of his smaller set of arms) that can be harvested and thrown at enemies. It also results in increased strength, the ability to fire slime from his palms (like Spiderman fires web), cool glowing veins and poisonous spikes on his tail.

Can't wait to see a more detailed version!
A quick speed-model and paint over to get an idea of his anatomy:
More detailed versions to come soon!
////Concept removed due to the fact that it was shit//////
I plan on breaking things up a bit too make it more complex, and making it darker and more corrupt, to go with the whole evil-spreader-of-death-and-desease thing.
He will have a wrist mounted slime cannon of some sort, as well as a rifle.
The holes on his armour on the right hand side are little poison spray guns.
His little arms are used to throw grenades.
Keep going.
Agreed on the hood, watch this space!
[I've put the latest update at the top]
The face and hands are next.
Here are some other ideas for the face, more to come soon:
almighty_gir, most of the torso will be covered, but I'll keep that in mind.
A is too sam fisher, and C is a little generic.
A is my favourite (and i don't know about sam fisher, never heard of that/him)
I like C the most, the jaw looks cool.
My two-bits, this guy is looking pretty cool
Update above, the sculpting of the body so far, and a block in of the armour.
... more..
Updates above
Nice work dude.
I think you should cut the armor shield(that protects the belly) like you did in your 1 march screenshot. Right now it looks like he cant really lean to the front.
I've got about 4 more, I'll post them soon.
Thanks spacemonkey!
Updates soon, promise.
Paintover of where I'm heading:
Small update, detailing is next! Those ugly boxes on the torso shield are his posion revolvers.
The thing around the shield is temporary.
its waaar *G*
I'm just going to add a few more details, and then I'll start the lowpoly. That usually doesn't take that long. And there's still the weapons to do
Thanks again for the motivation guys!
Those brushes are awesome fogmann, I'll definitely put them to good use!
Ive decided to take the good advice that Ive been given, and I started with the lowpoly:
Ill be skipping school tomorrow so that I can focus on more important matters
God I nearly died finishing this, I did the low poly,unwrapping, texturing, rigging, stand, final renders etc in about 8hrs
Here they are, nowhere near finished but it's the best I could do:
Yes, ugly composition I know
