Although I think it's stupid, apparently those are the rules. I recommend you ask the admins, before you continue.
started to work on the shoulder detail still alot to go though, i want it to appear functional so i have been jotting down a few drafts while at work today.
Also been thinking about how to set him apart more from the original and im thinking an illuminous green mankini.
Again all done in ZB
I think that only games in this list are allowed:

Nice hard surfaces modelling, by the way
Im hoping my entry falls under the below

The game I chose to redesign a character from (Joy Mech Fight) is an odd duck. It has different modes of play, one of which is aclassic cliche one on one fighter a la Street Fighter, but there's also a mode that is somewhat like Final Fight. Since it has the one on one mode, is it acceptable?
ANSWER: As Joy Mech Fight has a traditional fighting mode, and is classified as a "Fighting Game", it is acceptable.
didnt get alot done tonight too busy with other junk, bring me the weekend
I would really make sure by asking in the question and answer topic if i were you.
Because the main difference between Joy Mech Fight and Street of Rage is that the first one fall under fighting game category on wikipedia while street of rage is classified as "a side-scrolling beat 'em up".
Now i know what im aiming for hopefully i should make more progress tomorrow
Also here are some screenshots showing the battle mode from Streets of rage 3. As you can see its the same as any standard fighting game.
once again all done in zbrush just blocking out form and then i can add the details.
Cheers for the comment Crazyfingers, Zan is actually a cyborg the only humanoid part remaining is the head which ill show off tomorrow if i pull my finger out. I should have mentioned earlier ignore the ass in the previous shot all the lighter coloured material is just the concept which i am working on top of.
Speaking of ass here is the new one
Zan is a very literal person he actually keeps his junk in his trunk (along with a built in speaker)
"Does my ass turn you on?"
Takes out key...
cmcisaac you are totally right about that elbow i completely overlooked it, i could add some more details but i am happy with the shape, its odd but i think it works with the outline. To make it more functional i could drop it down some but it would mean moving all the subtools on the lower arm which is a total pain but i will do it at some point.
In relation to the hard surface stuff in ZB for me it is a total game changer if you want to see it done by a real pro i suggest taking a look at Mike Jensons DVD, I didn't start with a concept just some vague ideas in my head of what i wanted to do and i am finding although that perhaps isn't the best way to go as it leads to mistakes like the elbow you mentioned working solely in zbrush gives me far more control to test things than i had when hard surfacing in XSI or Max.
Its not perfect though sometimes zb requires me to really work to get the shape i want having to remesh and make awkward clips. Its really hard to put a time frame on it to be honest.
Okay update time
At this stage other there are a few areas im not happy with that i want to try and fix which are the pecs and armpits.
Not sure if im going mental on this one, you ever get it where you are detailing something and you look at it from a different perspective and see something totally different.
Evil techno clown?
Right im gonna grab a beer.
pretty happy overall although there are quite a few areas i think could have used some improvements, Which i will mention later when i get some more time.
As per before this is 100% zbrush no other apps were used other than photoshop to comp render layers.
texture and colours are not indication of final model just placeholder.
Please tell me what you think it will be appreciated.

or a complete redesign
i could resolve this by adding some additional details to these areas extra sub tools to chest and arms add some patterns to the rubber bendable mid section fix back of thighs, however i think the problems are greater than this there is also issues with the silhouette which is harder to fix. I have attached an image below showing potentially what i could do to resolve this as well. (image on far right is the amended one)
Ultimately though i am not sure there is any point, this entry clearly is not worth looking at or commenting on and i am not sure it warrants the extra effort attempting to finish.
your hard surface stuff in zb is KILLER tho!
his elbows need something tho, they look rather empty and flimsy.
and if you're gonna ditch the lowpoly and not finish the competition, at least finish your sculpt!
and if you need some ideas, just pull them out of his ass
I took your advice on board and gave it another shot, added some additional details and tweaked the legs. On your advise i completely changed the arms made all new elbow section, increased the size of the hands, moved everything inwards and widened everything.
The silhouette isnt perfect but its mainly only the legs that are letting it down now so once he has been posed that should be resolved.
Please let me know what you think.
