Pilot Man

I got inspired after watching some halo beta videos, so I made this armored pilot guy. I'm using paint overs to get through the design, which is helping alot.

It's been collecting dust so I figure I would get some feedback. Modeling in Silo 2, right now my goal is just to get the modeling/sculpting part done.

Beginnings of an interesting design.

If he's an entire man under the armour, and not some cyborgy thing, his eye holes look to be set too high and are probably a bit on the small side (you certainly wouldn't want your vision restricted while operating a military aircraft. The armour around the stomach area doesn't look as though it'd fit around a human torso.

Thanks Jackablade, made adjustments to the goggles.

Progress is slow on him:

I really suggest that until you get a better understanding of the human form that you start by making a human mesh without all the gear, then adding all of it onto him. It seems to me you a losing a lot of the under lying structure that would make this piece believable.

Rhinokey, good point, i'm going towards that direction. TBH I haven't looked at an ounce of human ref as of yet, i'm just fucking around, but maybe i should be more serious about it.

I blocked out the main shape of the guy and started sculpting some more parts.

I really like the general look and feel of this, I think you are doing pretty good. The part above the abdomen that's sticking out a bit looks a bit unnatural to me, doesn't seem quite right.
