Guile just for fun

Crystalmesh

Work in progress, lots of seams, really rough skinning and generaly a bit messy at the moment but thought i'd post it up before i lose motivation to finish it.... 7390 tris, 1024x1024 diffuse,spec and normal map, haven't done gloss yet...

Looks awesome, I really like this old look take on Guile.
I especially like arms, they are fantastic.

My only crit would be that shirt needs some asymetric folds. Rigth now, model little suffers for butterfly effect.

AimBiZ

Looks very nice. My only crit, except the butterfly effect is his hair. Is it suposed to look like that. Right now it looks more like a mushroom to me. :P

That is an awesome retake on Guile! Could you post a larger image? Want to see all the details.

Mtg_kirin

did he have american flag tattoos on both arms in game? either way thats awesome.

The Ben

Yeah, I agree about the hair. It's the one thing making this not completely wonderful. It looks unnatural, the way it's starts to taper out from the top of his head when it should really start tapering out lower.

But like I said, I think everything else is wonderful.

killingpeople

great to see new work from you! there are a couple areas to noodle over, hope you get around to polishing those up.

Xaltar

Love your anatomy, hot shit. Agreed on the hair.

Of course!
After all the sprites we´re mirrored when he was facing the other way.

Very nice work man!

veteehrri

awesome work, love it, just think the same about the hair.

MoP

Woo, Crystalmesh posting again! Nice

Looks cool, although I agree with the mirroring crits.

Arms look great.

pior

Woah!

thnom

Awesome model, the hair is strange though.

You even did the arm tattoos correctly (there IS a procedure for military arm patches):

RazorBladder

long time no post jason!
Great to see ya postin again, I think everyone's pretty much touched on this model's main issues, mainly the hair.
Lookin forward to future work man.

Crystalmesh

Thanks guys, yep agreed about the hair, alpha planes on the way to transition it smoother aswell as fluff out the top edge of the hair. Got a bit lazy on this one towards the second stages, but haven't done any personal work in so long that i'd thought i'd ease into it with a fairly easy character to do. Will prob finish it off this week.

SouL

Great to see you posting again!
He looks cool.

I'd check the length of his arms. They look a bit too short. And his wrist too thick.

Mr Smo

man thats the gayest thing i've ever seen, you should give him a shitty beard like ures.

smash u monday

Jonas Ronnegard

looks really great, though the first thing i noticed was his wrists, im in no way an expert on this but it kinda seems like he have a bump right before the hands and it makes the hands look kinda off, though i can't see the hands clearly from these 3 views.

shinja

hey JD nice work. Awesome model. but agree about the hair and the tattoo on the arms fixable also hes got a sharp shape poking out in his left shoulder from the image :P

lets smash Mr smo on monday.

Odd. I was thinking how much better your Guile flat-top looked than the usual way its illustrated. It'll always look ridiculous but for my money it works considerably better here than in the shot The Ben posted, for instance.

thnom

The thing I dont lik about it jackablade isn't the style per-se; its how its kind of layered? As it sticks out from the shaved part- it doesn't look like its a natural hairstyle. I've always pictured it as like shaved- but in a straight line on top. I don't know what its called. I'd also say the colour is off; right now it looks bleached. Natural blonde hair, built up like that is (generally) much closer to brown. Right now it has the colour of a cleanly shaven head.

Edit: found it - crew cut!

But a crew cut is so old fashioned - I'd go with something a bit more new - update the character somewhat. I'm not saying go totally whack with it but something a bit shorted - a bit more real (as you've done with the whole character)



or something alone the lines of:



Personally I think that would work so much more on the whole "making it realistic" scale.

Has this EVER looked good?

Edit again: I think Matt Damon is the PERFECT reference for colour and style:


Bit longer perhaps but a handy reference

uk_resistant

it will be great to see him posed, esp doing a sonic boom!

Steve Schulze

The flat-top is undeniably one of the dumbest haircuts ever concieved prior to the emo movement, but its fundamental to Guile's character design. Without it, he's just some army guy,

If you want good hair references, go to the source - Dolph Lundgren circa Rocky.

clee101

I agree with the hair crits. And his wrist look kinda wierd. That Dolph Lundgren is a great reference for the style your going for.

soulstice

looks awesome! i dig the old school flavour guile as well.
