FYP Male Special Forces Character
Currently working on these concepts for a special forces character suitable for a modern military game at Stafford University. From what research is available the profile has been geared towards a new SAS soldier with pervious SBS experience.
Form the concepts sheet I tried to take that theme of an SAS soldier and explore the various possibilities for what gear they would wear, even looked at gear from the old Bravo Two Zero team. I started the project thinking his face would be covered for covert reasons but I the research kind of dictated it might be a bit of a cop out for a main character that a player needs to be able to relate to.
Eventually I went for this mix which is mainly based on concept 6 but without the face mask. I did of course use inspiration on this version from existing successful game characters when I put up a poll in the general forum a few weeks ago.
also from the film industry. I used actor Jeremy Renner as reference from the characters he plays in 28 weeks later and Hurt locker which pretty similar.
Here is the base mesh so far, needs quite a bit of tweaking before I start sculpting but any crits, advice and so on would be welcome.
