"TF style" medivel bailiff

Priske415

Hello everyone, I have recently finished a small contract to make a, in his words, "Team fortress'y medevil executionist." Over all I'm relatively satisfied with the results...

This big guy hits a little less then 2,300 polys, obviously the normal map is the largest contributor to detail..



And here is a short video showing his mesh, wire, ect...

Fell free to give all the C & C you got.

Rhinokey

well one thing you should not be proud of is your presentation skills, that is a terrible shader and a weirdo wobbly turntable, tho on the turn for a brief second as it shot past the screen it looked like a lot of bad smoothing around the upper chest. and while it is stylized,, its still a decent jump from being tf2 styles,, tf2 is a very particular style,

Not really seeing the style in comparison to tf2. Notice tf2 characters have a distinct profile that defines each class. Your model at the moment has a very flat and bland profile. perhaps some shoulderpads, a more interesting hood design and some big boots would be a good start. Even a thick belt to breakup the mid section profile. Also, maybe you shouldn't sculpt as much muscle into him as well. Put some layers on him and give him some depth. Think what you want the character to specalize in and put emphasis on that within the body. I'm guessing since he swings an axe you would want to put more attention to his arms.

would be interesting to see what reference your using. I just searched really quick, but found some refs with some cool elements you could pull into your design.

Also what rhinokey said... you need to work on your presentation. use a grey background or something other than black and don't worry about trying to have awesome lighting at this stage. just show something basic.

hope that helps.

oh and this was contracted? you got paid for this?

I feel dizzy now after watching the turntable

That shader ain't working.
And the color bleeding from the floor makes the volumes flat.
I would say as Oobersli about that issue...
Consider making a normal turntable.. that one's a bit too special right now.

Cyrael

I think the forms could use some work as well.. it looks like he got punched in the chest on both sides and the holes are still there.

If you aimed for TF2 you ended up somewhere else.
TF2 takes place somewhere between 1920-1960's Americana not a lot of room for someone from the middle ages. That's not even getting into the proportions or the level of detail.

I think you could have something interesting here, but tying it to TF2 is a bit off the mark...
