I will give you some honest crits since im a BIG warhammer fan and know alot of the Fluff of the universe
1: Is he belong to any specific chapter?(scratch this I noticed the emblem of ultra marines on his back as I wrote this)
2: Is he a "fresh marine?" Reason I ask this, hes REALLY clean ,armor is perfect, face is baby face for a marine (meaning its all intact) etc
3: His face looks very VERY wide, even though a space marine is roughly 8 feet tall All meat genetically agmented person, there facial features dont widen out like the rest of them. He looks very strange and wide mouth (Its like aero smith became a Space marine and shaved his head)
4:The imperial logo on his chest isnt looking correct yet, to blobby not flat edged/refined enough ( Think its metals that are crafted as you work on it, alot of the planar brush with zbrush 3.5r3 will save you time on this)
5: Since hes a ultra marine, his chapter is known for there fight with the tyranids , Some marines are known for keeping alot of front line assaults with those baddies, I would add in claw marks of a tyranid or some acid marks etc
Other then that the edges on his back piece could use some sharpening (the circle part) And yea man keep at it GOGOGOGo!
@ Gallows-- ya go for it.. if it helps you with your design.. of course put your own twist on it; as Space Marines come in many varieties.
@ Seforin-- Thanks man. yes for now he is an Ultramarine, although, i kinda like the back story and the color scheme of the Crimson Fists. So I know there should be a few changes to his chapter emblems. Do you know of any good refs for a deeper look into their back story? I only know a little bit. As for his rank, perhaps my own Chapter Master-- someone like Marneus Calgar, or Pedro Kantor. I'm taking bits and pieces of things I think look cool, and hopefully and make them as accurate as I can. I'm going to change his right pauldron to present the Aquias/ Iron Skull/ Iron Halo combo. I'm trying to be as true to the game ranks as i can, but dont really know how to rank the officers properly, besides just looking at the reference i have currently.. I should get around to buying "how to paint spacemarines" from games workshop. Yes, his armor is very clean and could use a lot of scratches and dents. I also plan to plug up his head with wires and gadgets...yeah, his face is very stylized.. i need to retopo it yet because i made it from a zsphere and the current topo is driving me insane..
crimson fists are EXTREMELY latin , (there the space latino branch) So definetly will have to add in some features of a latino guy in there, right now he strikes me as a Salamander Guy based off his face
If your doing plus and such I suggest metal plates in the head etc that they connect to//skin formed around (look up the warhammer 40k comic with the Black templar damnation crusade
