Post Apocolyptic Western

Been a while since I posted on here, one of those long time veiwers, first time poster type dealie. Anyway, hoping to bring this concept to life from a guy who goes by the name of twitchfinger:

Heres the high poly on the first guy im going to tackle; Nacho

Still have to work on the folds of the pants but tell me what you think!

I plan on making all 3 game characters fully textured within the span of 2-3 months. I'm using this as my own personal challenga to improve my texturing skills with characters for the folio. Well, let the games begin

hmmm btw how does one go about displaying images actually on the page? I tried using attachment manager, but dont think i did it right :S

very nice so far
love the concept art. proportions look good

Really stellar concept work, both here and on your site. Very impressive! I'm a bit surprised to see somebody who's obviously a talented concept artist working on 3D Chars.

I also think that maybe 2-3 months of spare time (after work hours) to do 3 fully textured high quality next gen chars is maybe just a little short unless you've got total dedication or work really quickly. It'll be a good challenge though, certainly.

I think proportionwise the guy in the concept is shorter. You should probably do a comparison and measure them in heads. Looks goood so far

@ScoobyDoofus: Whoaa there might've been a misunderstanding there....the concept artist and I are 2 totally different people, I used his permission to make these guys next gen characters, and was given the go. This is only for practice and to update my folio, although i wish i had his superb concepting skills

@StefanH: thanks man! Yea I think your right, will make those changes in my next update!

Oh man, those are cool concepts to work off of. You're lucky I didn't find them first...i would totally make those characters, haha. Good luck.

For what you have of your highres so far, it's pretty good. Though, the fingers don't look meaty enough and the pants aren't 'fat' enough. Shoes look a bit too big, but you'll probably fix most of the stuff i pointed out anyway, right? eh? haha.

I'm trying to figure out how people do 'bandage' wrapping like how you did on the forearm, care to give a closeup or a little insight? It looks good from the screengrab.

bludragon

Thanks man, the bandages were nothing special, just used the retopo tools in Max, very simple poly modeling And ya I'll be sure to fix that!
Have been workin on the other character Manos instead, kinda got tired of looking at tubby here....

Not gonna go too crazy with the anatomy, since the poor man needs clothes!

nice start! I really like the face so far, the legs seem long though.
