Hey,

I'm no character artist and I know this is just WIP but to me everything seems a bit mushy and too smooth right now, even the body.

I'd say try to make sharper and more readable shapes. Especially if it's metal armor he's wearing.

Anatomy-wise the "lump" on his chest (don't know how else to describe it) is a bit too exaggerated, maybe make it a bit more subtle. Other than that, can't say much, so I better leave this to the experts.

Good job though, keep at it!

You really need to keep reworking the anatomy. It is really lumpy and mishapen. It is almost there. Really work over the hands a bit more as well. I would go down to a much lower subd and rework it form top to bottom and really get a nice form going.

done some analysis of my model with my tutor and my proportions are really not what im going for, i want to strike a balance between i dynasty warriors character and a gears of war character,



with this in mind a quick scale will show what im trying to achieve,



looking at the new Darksiders game coming out i love this concept of death, he has a very heroic triangle build which i would love to recreate but perhaps not as HUGE !!!



this is my attempt, its no where near refined but finger crossed im getting rid of some of that lumpy mushy anatomy you guys have talked about,



any more guidance on the model will be greatly appreciated

I did a quick liquify of where i think you're proportions could use some help.

1, original.
2, proportional fixes
3, smoothed out forms

looking much better, man.

biggest issue for me at the moment is the back, the muscles arent quite how they are on real humans, if you look at the image below:



if you ignore the ridiculous proportions of this man, his muscles are very pronounced, your model is too angular compared to real muscles, soften up the lines and bring out the butterfly shape between the shoulders and jobs a good'un
