[FIGHTER] Guilty Gear, Potemkin, Vidar
polycounter lvl 17
Hey guys, I finally found some time to start my entry! I'm making Potemkin from Guilty Gear, re-imagining him as a baker (which is what he does in his spare time).
Here's a short Bio for those of you who are unfamiliar with him:
Potemkin
A massive slave-soldier of Zepp, a floating continent controlled by a military dictatorship, Potemkin was forced into the first tournament by his superiors. However, during the tournament, the government of Zepp was overthrown in a revolt led by Gabriel, his mentor. Once Gabriel was made president of Zepp, Potemkin pledged his loyalty to the new government as a special agent.
The mantle he wears was a slave collar used by his superiors to keep him in check. He decided to keep it as a memento of his past. Potemkin likes to draw, but is so strong, he can put four tons of pressure on a pencil with only his fingers. In his free time, he works at a bakery, known by his customers not as a killer, but instead, a gentle baker.

Looking forward to spend some more time sculpting the face and body tonite.
Here's an update on his face, trying to make him look a little less menacing.

Here's todays update:
or go here for a turntable, taking a cue from Stepanchikov I'm using the jquery plugin reel which works a treat.
Finish it soon time is running out...
looking forward to it..
I need to work on textures tomorrow and posing and presentation on Friday.
Edit: It's just below 7000 tris at the moment, giving me another 5k to spend on the rest of him and to smooth his silhouette as needed.
I'm going for a hand-painted look, in case that wasn't totally obvious.

I'm happy I found the time to finish this. It will probably be awhile before I have the free time to do another contest, but I'll be ready in a year or so, after my 6 month paternal leave.
