    The Greentooth face paint works quite well. Whats he got on the end of his chin?

    Jackablade thanks for the feedback. The thing on his chin is some type of jewelry inspired by things I have seen in African tribes and from sculptures of the pharaohs.

    Well here are two of the beasties he summons. I'm sort of tempted to make them shadowy in appearance and give them a shader that counter shades them for the diffuse using a fall off map.

    I took a long break from this and did more studies. Here is where I have the model so far and where I'm planning take this character. Depending on how many tris I use and the time I have left I'll make some beasties for him. I'm hating the ears at the moment.

    Let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Hey Alex looks good so far, I was just curious of the choice to detach the head from the body? Perhaps not fully done? Also the head looks small compared to the width of his shoulders, maybe make it a tiny bit bigger. Anyway I like the contraption on the arm, I'd like to see how that turns out. As for the shadow creatures I like the doglike one with no arms, pretty interesting. Also the whole pharaoh-esque features are a nice addition. Are you going to change up the legs to match the concept?

    Lookin' good, keep it up man!

    Heart Murmer I just modeled the head separately, no reason really, the neck isn't modeled yet. Yeah the final pose of the character will be posed liked the sketch. Here is a quick update, I tried to get the pose of the sketch since I got tired of looking at the base mesh pose. I did more work on the head.

    the body is ok (even if there are some muscle problems on the back)

    but your face is way too blobby.. stick more to your concept and the way you made the rest of the body

    Thanks for the feedback Rollin. I took a break from the body and decided to make the props for him. Here is what I have so far. By the way I'm using a lower res version to make the props. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

    I think I'm almost done. I'm cutting my losses and just going to make the normals for this guy and texture him and see how it goes. Then, I'll practice sculpting some more. I was going for something ugly and freaky looking and I have that, not great but but whatever. Looking to finish this time around. :) I did a quick 3 point lighting to see how he would look. I can't wait to give him some polycount war paint. I think those colors will look good on the grayish purple skin. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

    The underlying anatomy and the face are really off. Look at some reference of some Satyr's or some other demon that has a similar outline. Also add more details in the muscles and some armor pieces. Time is running out however so do whatever you can to finish.
