The Toy Soldier

ThatDon

Would like to share with you all a personal project I had been working on, the idea is this guy turns little iconic toys into his field gear/gadgets.

Please excuse my crappy 2D concept

Hope you all like it :mugs:

3D Renders:

Autocon

Ha wow this guy is FANTASTIC!

Love him and his little gadgets. The etchesketch and the google things (forget what those are called) are gushing with win.

Reminds me of the TF2 Demo in a good way.

Great job

AimBiZ

There's something with the shape of the boots that bugs me. I think the area between the back and front sole is a bit too thin.

Other than that it's made of pure high quality win!

AtlusZMH

This looks amazing! I love the proportions and the homage to all the old toys! those goggles haha

P442

LOL! Awesome details!

dejawolf

its looking nice.

Bruno Afonseca

give him a slinky grenade and a pogo ball

praxedes

He needs a Simon as well

Awesome stuff!

~P~

mLink

haha, this is awesome.
It has a very TF2 feel to it.
I really like the etch-a-sketch on his wrist

Great work mate, I like the fourth pic from the top. Only thing like Aimbiz suggested, the boots could look more "heavier".

Jaco

So cool! Awesome work on the sculpt, and I love the colors.

Neox

this is some seriously nice work man!
agree on the tf2 link but thats definitely a good thing, also it's still very unique

AnimeAngel

Great use of so many iconic toys. Great work

Joseph Silverman

That highpoly is sweet! I love the shapes

I'm not really a fan of the color scheme though, it's basically all black with slight yellow/red accents? I'd love to see more of the shapes, which seem to be kindof a greybrownish thing, have a brighter color.

Shogun3d

Etch a sketch ftw!

mvelasquez

Lovely work. Looks like you've been playing some tf2 :P The colors and proportions are great!

stoofoo

This is fabulous. Give those metal and plastic bits a bit of a bang up like every toy you ever owned and I'm sold. FOREVER.=)

Ferg

sweet character, nice and tight, clean as hell... this guy definitely belongs in tf2

Firebert

sweet style man! you really did an ace job on this on for sure
the sculpt on the body looks really, really nice and clean.
did you form out all your parts fully first in another package or did you sculpt all those in ZB (which i am assuming you used)?

d00kie

lolin' at the Nerf gun featuring a silencer, i had that toy! It shot red darts that wouldnt stick to anything.
very good job and like others have said, it has a very nice TF2 touch to it.
:thumbup:

ThatDon

Thank you all for the positive feedback, I was very worried my design was pure crap

FireBert: I modeled out all the hardsurface stuffs in max then adjusted proportions and such inside zbrush, it does a very nice job of moving/tweaking hardsurface objects around without distorting them too badly.

and yes I was greatly inspired by TF2, love that game...and the company behind it :P

whats_true

hahah, I love it! I think you could have pushed the toy thing a lot more. This could be a "I spy" with kids toy or something.

Swizzle

And I.

Jizzed.

In.

My pants.

Canden Picard

i think im drooling

System

Great idea and execution, everything pops very nicely:thumbup:
ps: he reminds me of Sam Fisher a bit, must be the goggles and the black amphibious suit = win

butt_sahib

Mad props for the design don. Love the sculpt!

Cav73

I dig it man!

mat

haha very stylish and crazy to see some new work from you.
nice one

kite

that turned out great Don, sweet work!

poopinmymouth

I really dig the back design, but I feel like the front is a bit too busy, it's hard to read visually. The technical execution is great though.

Belal

looks really great, love its design a lot!!
