Soldier Boy

Super

Started this a while back, but starting to feel lost with it (what needs changing, improving, etc). The idea of the character is a soldier, perhaps a newbie just given his gear. Relatively young and in-experienced. Not a bulky bald marine type.

I'd like to hear what people think. I'd ideally like to downscale and normal map it, as I've no experience of that yet.

Chars.

I like it, reminds me of paul kidbys stuff for the anke morpork guards, check it out it might inspire you.

I personally think you did just the opposite, really.
Lets see...sunken eyes, sullen cheeks, drooping face muscles...balding...oh, and a belly. It looks to me, forgive me for the word, comical, like some old guy in his mid-50s trying to look young again.

Clothes are quite realistic, though.

he seems over 40, but it's a nice model

maybe he's like an old guy who's drunk some of that grass/celery juice stuff

nah , he seems ok, it's just a few things seem to make him look odd, I'm not an expert on anatomy or anything so I can't really tell you what in particular. That leg armor could be bigger or more shielding maybe?

He kinda reminds me of some celeberty hmm i wonder who, anyway i personally would do something about the upper lip, seems kinda non existent though i'm not an anatomy expert either so dont listen to me hehe.

Very nice, I like it. Just maybe some proportion issues, the eyes don't look like they are in the centre of the head, they're a bit high. The hands might be too small, should be the same size as the head.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all comments. I've added weight to his face, hopefully helps him appear younger. I agree with the head, something has seemed off to me too. I'll try lowering the eyes and rework that upper lip. I've increased the size of the hands now too. Cheers

dude you always seem to be doing the same weird faces , eyes too small and too close to each other, face shape disproportional , i would surely recomend you studying more anatomy and look at skull pics and draw eyes, nose etc on them, helps alot.

aesir

yea, that really is a weird face, however, I think it's believeable, so keep it if you like it.

Really like the model quality. Keep it up!
