[WIP] Arzak

Hey guys, I was in Paris recently and picked up Moebius's new-ish book, "L'arpenteur", which is an origin story to his legendary Arzak character. I've decided to do a new sculpt [based on this concept I did a few weeks ago]. It's mostly inspired by his more recent design, but I've changed a few things around to break-up the silhouette differently.

I started working on the mesh last night, so I hope to have some of that posted soon. Anyway, I'll be updating this thread with my progress. Thanks for looking.

@fightpunch: cool, thanks man. I enjoyed your concepts featured in the ReCap the other week.

@g2000: me too, hey when are you going to finish up your Cody?

@Maph: thanks Maph, looking to dig into something new now that I've had my post brawl break.

some WIP as promised. going to tackle the hat first, and then start blocking out the rest of the clothing/armor.

dom

I'm really looking forward to this, really hope you get the same looseness in 3d.

Gallows

The way you make your hands is fucking awesome, the collar bone looks a little off though. Other than that the 2D and 3D are both phenomenal.

@dom: thanks man, that's the goal anyway. i hope to get the big billowing sleeves across in the sculpt.

@Gallows: i appreciate the compliments Gallows; sometimes I get a little swept up in the stylization of the form, I might just tone down the boldness / exaggeration of the clavicle bone. Thanks.

Thanks guys; I appreciate the comments and your interest in the work. I had a chunk of time this weekend to bang out some basic shapes for the hat and tunic. [no surface level detail yet] Just wanted to post what I got; hopefully the new deus ex won't completely halt my progress.

@yodude87: thanks for the support.

@Dan!: thanks dan.

@SimonT: i try to find a pose that will keep me interested throughout the modeling process and excited about the character. [while still being easy to work with] thanks man.

@FretBoard: jed, thank you sir.

@Hofsta: thanks for looking.

@Illusive: cool dude, thanks for the kind words.

@LRoy: glad you are into it LRoy.
