DW111-lear-death angel

Lear

My character is the warlord class with the element of death. His artifact is a stone which sits in the center of his chest. I think of this character as kind of a different take on the angel of death. Here is what I have so far in the concept stage. I really am not happy with this at all so any impute would be greatly appreciated.

Okay here is my char with different armor and a possible weapon.

Here is what the face looks like so far as well as a new helm.

Keep it up! I think the second lower works better, but keep playing.

More images now!

Hey Lear, glad to see you posting here and welcome to Polycount:) I like the lower helm that you have going on, along with the second concept on what his lower half looks like. I will check back to see how you progress with this one, and good luck completing your first Dom War.

Hey Lear, Welcome to Polycount,

I’m going to just lay it out there. First thing that grabs my attention with your concept is that the design isn’t as interesting as it could be. Don’t jump to far ahead of yourself and go straight to painting, first do a few thumbs nails or sketches. A good model starts with a good concept, a good concept starts with a good design. Your armor parts flow in the same direction. It’s the same shape stacked on top of each other. Try overlaying shapes that flow in different directions. A “n” shape on top of a “v” shape on top of a “u” shape is much more interesting then a “v” shape on a “v” shape on a “v” shape. The other thing is, you can play around with the proportions a bit. He’s got wings so, maybe he’s got an extra joint on the legs, or his forearms are elongated, longer neck, etc… also keep in mind that your character should maintain a good balance.

Good luck in the comp!

btw: you got to learn to post images right. We don't want to have to click on a link to see the image (and get popups) haha

Okay here is what I have modeled at the moment. I'm still experimenting with designs and what not so plz comment.

Lear

Here is his sword so far.

The model looks cool, average-ish design, but what good is an angel of death against a horde of robots? Or are you one of those "I don't care about the brief" people? :-)

Lear

Yea that is a good point snowfly. I really just used an angel of death as a path to follow for my character. I do realize this can make my character change a lot though. I do want to pay attention to the brief so some changes will be made.

Okay here is my high poly for the head, torso, and upper arms
