chungking2399

Look good but the mouth/lips seem really off to me.

Looks like a fun piece. Are you working off of a concept?

You might want to go back and fix up some of your anatomy though. Grab some reference and really pay attention to where the muscles connect and how they flow. for an example - right now your deltoids look really awkward where you have that 'v' shape between the bicep and pec.

and the mouth wrinkles don't seem to fit. I'd expect similar wrinkles like that on an elderly person... which doesn't really mesh with his super ripped physique.

ok cool, yeah got to fix the lips they seem real thin, also will work on the deltoids amd yeah Im thinking the same on the wrinkles I wanted him to be kinda haggard but strong! sorcerers always seem like weaklings just wanted to be more like a warrior priest sorcerer! lol but yeah I'll tone them down

chungking2399

making corrections!

chungking2399

filling out the lips and some detail, and also no concept just working it on my own

I think if you can relate one (or two at most) animal type into his costume, it would add much more character. The last 3 headware are more appealing to me because I see a bird, jaguar, and fish in each one respectively. If you continue this down to the rest of his outfit, the generic muscle bound character will be more interesting.

Good work so far.

chungking2399

yeah was kinda wanting to the animal thing think it would pretty cool to have different animals though!

chungking2399

thanks for the crits you guys!

Cap Hotkill

To me his face looks too much european, you should search for some Aztec references,and nail down their facial features.

playing with the ears

trying out a shader!

getting some Accessories

I somehow prefer the first version of the head. This one looks now to "caricatural" to me compared to his more realistic body, especially his cheeks that are too deep. Lips are way better though
Also he has 2 stranges wrinkles on his forehead and I don't really dig the "scratchs" that are coming from the center of the pecs/abdos :poly122:

Great start, coming along nicely, keep it up

You've got some really nice details in the skin so far, but I would have to agree with Cap hotkill that the face looks too European. The cheeks are really sunken in too, I think you should fill em out a bit, as the lips too.
I think Apocalypto would be nice reference, even if that's the Maya, not Aztec

chungking2399

changed the cheeks!

Cremuss

better !

I still don't dig the eyebrows and the two strange wrinkles on the forehead.

Looking forward to see more !

Cap Hotkill

are you only showing one angle of him? can you show side angles and other positions?
Looking at the front of it doesnt give much more info about the mode.

Alberto Rdrgz

His features are still looking predominantly white.

Sukotto

Giving him rounder and fuller nostrils will make him look more native

Mike Yevin

i agree with everything thats been said already, also those plugs are far too small for how low you've sagged his lobes. id suggest making them either bigger, or look much heavier

chungking2399

side view with bigger ear plugs and changes on the nose


and soften the wrinkles on the head,

Cap Hotkill

you should polish more the profile of it, it seems that you are working too much on a 2D mode.

Jeremy Tabor

I'm thinking the primary thing which needs to be done is with the upper lip. Look how full the lips are in all of the refs posted earlier, and especially the upper lip. IMO the the jaw shouldn't protrude as much as it does. I'd like to see more of an overbite and angular muzzle region in general, and adding bulk to those mouth muscles will naturally do that.

I don't mean to flood the place with paintovers, but here are my two cents on the matter.



I also turned the nose down a bit, drew back the slope of his forehead, and played with his neck some.

I hope this helps.

Cap Hotkill

I will delete mine because yours is much much better

chungking2399

made the changes!!

chungking2399

not feeling the tattoo, will take it out

NAIMA

nk you should focus more on giving the right facial traits of Aztec Race the one you did looks more European than else ...

Snader

If he's a sorcerer, why does he look like Schwarzenegger and Stallone had a baby - and put it on steroids?

Raider

kinda looks like he's botoxed his lips, real case of duck lips going on atm
