Glad you people like it.
I threw on some more colors in, I think I'm starting to get a feel for the finished product, but I hope it won't look too detailed when I start doing the actual texture.
You're right about the hand, it's an easy fix, thankfully. Good point about the laser sight, too, I completely forgot it.
In any case, I went back to the scarf and got it uvmapped and got some ambient occlusion going on, don't think I'll be able to fit in much normals since it's a very small texture.
I made some colors. I like the white most myself, but it's good to hear what others think.
Have you considered making that rifle just a little bit shorter? It's almost absurd how much it's going to be clipping through things. Looks great though.
White all the way, the sandy coloured one takes 2nd but miles behind the white Deffinitely digging the new texture (also that support bar looks sexy) Great step in the right direction, can't wait to see where it goes from here.
I actually like number 5 a bit more than 1, the pants/hood matching combo is pleasing. Plus, it doesn't turn him into a target with a giant white thing on his head.
I like 1 and 6 but for six maybe change the band color to something to balance out all the dark colors. Looking great dude your stuff seems pretty cool and original hope you win!
If it had to be one skin, I'd stick with 1. If it had to be team colored, I'd go with number two. You could also do 1 or 5 with colored headbands, since they would stick out among the light/dark (6 looks a bit too dark) cloth. Might help if both teams were side by side.
I put some normal mapping into the headscarf, it's not too bad, needs some cleaning up, though I'll do that at the very end, no big deal.
I also tried some things to make the headband look more interesting, though I personally prefer the dark normal one. If you have some pattern suggestion, let me know.
Finally, I'm doing some model tweaks to the rifle and scimitar, I'll post those when I get them ready.
There's no hurry... no hurry at all.
Alrighty, basic dark headband seems to be the winner.
Going back to the gun, I made it fit his hands better and shaped the wood parts more. Now I really can't decide which of these two I should pick. The first is more true to the gun the rifle is based on and looks more different compared to the basic sniper rifle. The second one is the opposite, but I think it looks a tiny bit nicer.
It's hard to decide, the second adds variation but the first has a great shape too. How about the second with a laser sight placed on the underside of the barrel where the wood ends? Would be kinda like a mid-point of the 2 versions, plus it's sensical.
How. HOW. Have I not taken a look at this until now. This looks fantastic. Like, seriously, you're my candidate for best Sniper Polypack. The rifle looks great, and I love the aperture sight. I also love how deadly serious the Sniper looks frowning out of that headscarf- perfect!
My only criticism is that compared to the other two, the scimitar just looks kind of boring. Not bad, but not very interesting. Maybe give it a little more flair somehow? You could add a tassel, or an inscription on the blade in Arabic, or something.
So the gun's definitely not going to have a bunch of cool designs on it like in the ones in the reference picture?
Sure it will, I haven't started doing the texture yet, other than doing a UV test with the wood part. The end result is probably nothing quite as ornate, though.
I definitely like the first gun more than the second. Was there a reason you took the little sight piece off the end of it?
I'm redoing most of the details and I haven't remade the front sight yet. Thing is I'm trying all sorts of things to make it fit better than the old versions and haven't found the one I like yet.

Thanks! And I totally agree with you on the scimitar so I'm trying to do something about it. I'll be putting some stuff up at some point to see what people think.
Well, I can't really not have the sight included, since there's not supposed to be anything functionality altering in the entries. I've tried to go for a bit of a customized feeling with the whole support bar thing and the hanging wires, so pretend the sniper's added some of his own stuff into an old camel gun
Also, the laser sight on top of the gun doesn't obstruct the lens any more than the normal front sight so no problems there.

But with the options given, #4/5
Maybe 1 for for Blue and 5 for Red?
Red and white doesn't look all that good, while blue and white look pretty awesome.

I know it's probably too late to do anything like that, but it makes me a sad panda either way.
1 in guns
all in awesome

EDIT: Oh yeah, first hat, first rifle =P
Also first hat and first rifle, too.

And hey, more choices for you!
One comment I have is that I don't like the laser site, its anachronistic to the theme.
Also, the laser sight on top of the gun doesn't obstruct the lens any more than the normal front sight so no problems there.
