[FIGHTER] X-Men: Children of the Atom, Iceman, Fictioneer

I figured I'd join in with the chaos. I don't have much experience with game modeling but what the heck I want to learn, no better way than to jump into a competition eh.

Anywho I want to do a rendition of Iceman from X-Men: Children of the Atom.

Here's an example of what he looks like.


What I've got in mind is a leaner, meaner looking Iceman. I mean the blue dude is cool but the whole 'I'm a body builder in a spandex jumpsuit' look has never sold me. The guy I have in mind is someone who looks more like your average Joe, maybe a little muscular, but with an icy air about him. The kind of guy who give you a cold stare and maybe a cold shoulder (puns intended). Perhaps wherever he walks a subtle cloud of snow follows.

I'll have my concept sketches up in the next day or so.

I look forward to seeing this as much as you .

Here's a quick concept sketch I quickly did up this morning.



For his skin I'm thinking of doing a blue veining similar to the Borg Assimilation in First Contact.

Rethought my concept today. After doing some looking at various Iceman refs I realized my initial concept wasn't that far from what Marvel has done in some of the comics. I got to thinking about how I could re-invent Iceman. I wondered what if Iceman had to wear an environment suit to contain his cold, lest he freeze everything around him. Immediately Tron: Legacy popped into mind and so I pulled out my ref folder and looked for an image I could over paint with some ideas and found this (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/9732/002TRON.jpg). This is what I came out with.

I think now I can start getting my model on .
