I've always wondered what would of been like for the mutants if they were born 500+ years ago.. soo Medieval Cyclops!
I'll have to make an image of him with visor raised in firing position soon! I'll most likely show his face with quite major burns from using his uncontrollable powers ( plan taking the approach where he is not immune to his own optic beam, and it causes heat). Perhaps one eye will be permanently burnt shut, making him a true cyclops!
should be interesting to see if I have the texture res to make the cloak!
OPPS I've forgot to add my name "Toasty" to the thread Title, could a kind mod plz add it for me?

I always found his hair to be a pretty major style point as well - the way his costume goes up that far and only leaves the top part of his hair to do its thing and such.
Maybe you could try to add a crest or plume or something to his helmet to imitate this.
MickyPain : Totally understand what you mean about the hair, it's been bugging me as well. I'm hoping the red glowing visor will be enough, but I'm all for changing the helmet if it's not enough of a resemblance.
Malus : ..... :poly141:
Small update, first pass rough of the head bust.
I'm hoping once the pore details, stubble, eye brows and long unkept hair is added, he should start looking "right hard"! Oh and I better actually model the ear and get the neck muscles correct

NuclearWarrior - I'm leaning towards a bigger shoulder guard myself also. I've been testing the smaller one, but the silhouette isn't that interesting boring. Currently not sure what direction I'll sculpt the eyes , but I really like the idea of sewing shut an eye!
IridionSnake, Sebeuroc - thanks very much
Rick Stirling - Will have to track down a copy, looks like an interesting read! thx for the link.
Malus, Mask_Salesman - Yeah I agree, it's something that's always bugged me about the original character. He shoots friggen laser beams from his eyes! That should that make him cool by default!
Endr - Thx! Plan to go for a helmet that covers half his head ( to just below his nose ) and have longer hair falling out from below it. Although, yeah, short hair makes more sense if your wearing a helmet!
Currently blocking out the rest of the costume, so hopefully should make another update very soon.

Visor still needs ruby crystal firing rig attached, and more form and volume will in the clothing should develop as I sculpt.
You were right. :P
What's your plan for the waist and skirt?
Nice tie in man, subtle but really keeps the consistency between the 2 designs.
Whoops, learn to edit your posts Dean... o_0
I'm really looking forward to getting the unwrap out of the way, and starting on the sculpting and texturing to bring him to life!

visor up!

Maybe you could make it having the visor down stops the beam but up releases it?
That way you can have it open for the posed shot and see his face.
His hands tho, look weird and small.
