Sooo... my vacation have started, so its time to do SOME MORE WORK! Woho
Started blocking out a character based on a concept I drew up some time ago
Just blocking in stuff still. Any thoughts?
Its some kind of warrior with a gasmask-apparatus and a gladius. Gonna give him an old pistol and stuff aswell.

If he is in the desert, he would have a head dress of some sort, but one that only covers half of his body doesn't make sense. Because then the other part that isnt covered would lose moisture much quicker then the part that is covered, and the character wouldn't be any better off.
Neox: thanks alot man, I hope I don't let you down then ^^
Shabba: Yeah, its a bit trixxy around the head part, some parts of the cape is squashed under the mask actually. And yeah, it doesn't make sense, but it's only a very small portion of the face that isnt covered, the area around one of his eyes. Also, the cape has a hood thats been pulled back, so he can cover the entire head if he wants to
Also I think it should hang from the side by practical reasons.
Looks interesting otherwise. The previous one was great so I have no doubt this one will be the same.
AimBIZ: good idea I placed the sword there because I'm lazy and I have a planned pose for him already, hehe. You were not supposed to notice *whistles*
torontoanimator: no, you cant Its not much to see right now, basically just a bunch of boxes and cylinders I'll post some more pics when I have some decent progress :]
Maybe he has a gun but if you wanna bring forth some of the nomad hunter feeling he should have something sharp, my best guess would be a knife( Like my friend Aimbiz suggested) I would rather see a spear. I know I kinda wander off here, but how about a sniper/spear? Maybe some canisters of water preservators on the back too?(In the book Dune they could wander for days in the dessert because their suits could convert sweat into water, I think there is alot of inspiration for your character there). Hope this can be of some help.
I really dig the head/upper body gear looks awesome. You're a brave guy for doing so much hanging cloth.
cOldhands: he would be fighting.. other people, I guess, in some kind of postapocalyptic desert environment, think a bit of mad max. I'm gonna switch his sword for a large knife, and give him a rifle instead. Any gun nuts know any good old sniper/ long distance rifles that I can brutally rape for inspiration?
Vig: thanks man I do cloth because Im not very good at it, but its stll faster than covering everything in sub-d detail, i need practise! Not worth doing unless you learn something
Here's an update, began sculpting some stuff, etc
o also the detail on the back of his right elbow works very nicely, i hope you repeat that in the detailing.
o CC whats up with the back of his knees, some strange wing like form there.
-Woog
may be going a bit overboard with those circular flare-like medallions... i'm guessing it's some kind of logo for his clan or organization? maybe an accidental instance?
Lampoly: hmm, no, but thanks for the link,i really need to look into that actually, looks very interesting, the style fits very well into what I had in mind.
woogity: yeah,I'm gonna move the sword and turn it into more of a tribal knife-thingy now,as for the things on his legs...hmm..i have no clue sofar very temporary.
BradMyers82: haha,I hope s o:D I'll do my best^^
BryanCavett: thanks :]
Virtuosic: Hmm,some matcap i downloaded somewhere, I can look it up
A-train: Cheers man maybesomeday, haha ^^
killingpeople: hehe, thanks, those cirkular flare like thingys are actually placeholder circles that are messed up in zbrush,I'm gonna replace them with proper..thingys later
In regards to a long distance rifle.. hurm, perhaps the L96 Artic Warfare rifle? Or maybe the FN FAL? (Yes, I like my old british guns. :P)
And no, this is NOT the warm gun mod :P
Looking awesome btw.
JohnnyRaptor: what? You have a matress that you fit your ENTIRE body on? Thats so girly ^^
The gun looks very unique as well.
just make sure to sculpt the cloth up to the same quality in the end!
I love the design, keep it up!
wizo: thanks alot man
did he dip his head in acid? is that why hes covering it up with machinery?
