"American-ish" Soldier WiP

Miche

Yo dudes!
I didnt get any feedback in the previews post so I decided to make a separate one for upcoming wip progress.. Also added some close-ups as well..
Got some noodeling left to do, maybe add something to take him to a more personal level.. Tips/feedback appreciated! Thanks!

wow...

I wish i could do something remotely similar to that..

Magpouches are too small and you also dont stack 2 mag pouches over the other, as the ones below wont be easy to access or totally useless.
the average grunt has 4 mag pouches with 2-3 mags per pouch.

looks nice so far!

The sleeves have to many folds for my taste, seems like they are too long for his arms.

Miche

Thanks guys.. Rumkugel - very true, I will fix it asap..

Looks great! What references did you use? I would say the amount of creases in the pants and shirt makes the clothing look more like soft silk than durable army uniforms.

Miche

Thanks mate! I used lot's of different references of us soldiers.. Also checked some on bf: bc2, cod: mw2 soldiers.. I found this awesome toy that I liked and therefore used it a lot as a reference http://toyhaven.blogspot.com/2009/08/soldier-story-us-army-future-combat.html

Anyways, here's an update.. I tried lots of different ways to put different bags together and I liked this way the best.. Gimme your thoughts

(Also fixed some creases in the jacket but it's not noticeable in this image)

now that looks a lot better mate, great work! still try working some on those sleeves! love this char tho!

id say ditch the buttons on the mag pouches, the ones being used in service are desert coyote velcro (atleast in the usmc) and whats up with the flak? are those tubes camel back lines? and why does it look like there are two pouches like a sapi carrier in the front and then a bigger vest in the back? and the shirt should either be button up blouse or zip up F.R.O.G suit ( fire resistant some thing something.) any way looking very nice love the gunners belt and the balaklava

Overthink the capacity of one single pouch again mate

A grunt usually carrys alot of little nitbits infront of his vest, he doesnt need a pouch for each single mag

also dont use other games as ref for such things.. they´re.... crap...

the material feels too soft.
usual todays uniforms the u.s. usues are made from ripstop material, which is very rough, thick and wrinkles roughly like paper (hard edges).
