Cool idea, the helmet will work nicely on a cartoon guy. I think you could take the design much farther though, with shorter extremities, a larger head, and some more stylization in the uniform.
Well, I would have to disagree with you there. The word kraut in this context is meant as endearing, not condesending.
If you notice the whermacht tabs on his collar, you would know that this little guy represents the mainstay of the german army, not the SS. That means that the uniform does not represent any of the horrible things that were done in WWII, but just a code of duty that goes beyond what crazy SoB were chancellor at the time.
i have many german friends, and hitlers gay ass blond poeple fetish overun germany with gingers, every third guy is a ginger, simply disgusting
btw needs more mauser/zombieface
I know this isn't the texture, but I think you should go a lot heavier on the translucency of the skin. Get some serious red in their. You can stylize the shading at the same time as the proportions.
the concept art you did for this (tho i did prefer the no head version for some reason :P)
looks like you're off to a good start on the hp. Folds are looking a leetle too blobby and too numerous atm i think, a few well defined major folds running down the arms would be cool.
Anyways, still early so looking forward to updates ^^
Its not as much a polycount logo as it is a smiley face, notice the absence of teeth. Thought it was better than the "God is with us" bit in german and the smug looking prussian eagle.

I think he isn´t poop
I vote no face!
Decision made.
But yeah, I've always had the idea to give him a face, nose down, where the helmet rests on the nose, sort of..
/agreed

Germany owns.
Deal with it.
Gonna start on making the highpoly now, which should be a bit better than this hurried drawing, gotta improve my 2d skills
Also, why that pose? Looks like he's getting read to spread his arms and fly! xD
EDIT: @HP was trying to draw him in the pose i wanna model him in, but yeah I suck at drawing feet, wait for the model ^_^
Now, your location says Gren
You do know me, I believe Kasper has invited you to our new years party.
That also mean that I was a student at 3DC, now I am just stuck here for work..
Oh, and if you put on your clever-trousers you could have clicked my signature and found out the same.

@Nizza_waaaaaarg: Yeah, will look into the folds, just need to smack on insignia, buttonfoldish thingie and pockets.

reminds me of "die Sturmtruppen:sex an der front"

i like it
As some of the guys, I prefer the no-face version as well.
Hehe, I meant it to be painfully hollywood German, a tribute to the Monty Python sketch "Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook"
A bit of update on the folds, I think they are quite good now:
Its not as much a polycount logo as it is a smiley face, notice the absence of teeth. Thought it was better than the "God is with us" bit in german and the smug looking prussian eagle.
Never the less we Danes owe the Brits some recognition; after all, they were the ones liberating us.
