Great concept!!

Jeff Parrott · Nov 2011

LOL. Needs 90% more mullet and just camo board shorts if he's MMA.

Sirdelita · Nov 2011

agree on mullet

Dan! · Nov 2011

hehe- i see I'll have to do some sketching, if I get a mullet in there it'll have to be perfect. Now here is a phrase you should randomly ask people throughout the day:

How does one put a mullet on a snake?

ScudzAlmighty · Nov 2011

Sweeeeeeeet.
I have nothing more constructive to add.

JGcount · Nov 2011

Please keep the arm-to-torso proportion ratio - loving it.

Dan! · Nov 2011

thanks fellas- got im blocked in- throwing in some added 90s reference by giving him a Surge can(tip o the hat to RV_ELs Guile)

Kip McSkipster · Nov 2011

Yup, this is shaping up nicely! I also like the proportions, also with jeffro, I think shorts only (and gloves).

WillC3D · Nov 2011

Great concept and proportions. This looks like it will be a solid piece of work. The only criticism I can offer is that it doesn't look sporty. Only militant. It would be best if anyone could observe the character and know which sport it depicts.

Dan! · Dec 2011

thanks for the crits and advice everyone- hopefully i met a good middle ground - wip so far

Tadao215 · Dec 2011

woooaah, im really liking this one

ScudzAlmighty · Dec 2011

shit that's awesome.

I think you should ease up on the snakeskin pattern, take it out of the lighter area's of the skin like you have in the concept. You could make the eye-patch a bit bigger, right now it doesn't really stand out ayt first glance abnd it just looks like he has one yellow eye and one white eye.

Tadao215 · Dec 2011

may we see your texture sheet??

Gannon · Dec 2011

Snake cakes

MattQ86 · Dec 2011

Well that was quick.

Grubber · Dec 2011

Oh cool!

EtotheRic · Dec 2011

Nice progress. I like the mass going on in your concept.

Jeff Parrott · Dec 2011

Looks awesome man. Now for the rest of the contest make the arena too!

Diruengurei · Dec 2011

Awesome OoO

that's what she said.

ADD A TAIL!

leslievdb · Dec 2011

nice progress, the only crit i can give you is to make the scales flow with the form because now it looks like an overlayed pattern. also add some variations and maybe a little depth to them on some locations.

You know Gannon, I hear they make pills for that.

Also, I agree. A tail would add nicely to the character.

Sukotto · Dec 2011

Looking so nice but I agree about working on the scales and giving them more flow. Also, his head is reading more like a lizard head than a snake head, is he supposed to be a specific type of snake?

Vailias · Dec 2011

scale flow is odd and rather uniform. Looks just kinda pasted over the colors. Scales are hard though.

Dan! · Dec 2011

re:scales

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

sukotto- generic snake head- looks like ill have to push it a bit harder to sell as more than just reptilian
thanks for the crits and comments

Lord Fryingpan · Dec 2011

Please allow me to make a tiny suggestion if you really want to stick to the snake idea.

Also, really great job so far.

mxb8924 · Dec 2011

I Think it looks awesome right now but if you wanted to push it I got some suggestions.

1. Like a lot said, add some variation. If you went back towards your concept and just did the things like rips in the shirt, blood and unravel-lings on the wraps, you should be fine.
2. This is probably something your probably gonna do, but a more badass pose.

mryogesh123 · Dec 2011

Wow great entry and good execution from concept to model. Only suggestion i mite make is that i like the way the scales aren't uniform in the concept. Maybe having areas where there are bigger darker scales to break up the repetition of surface detail. Silhouette is amazing, is there going to be an arena or another character maybe???

Dan! · Dec 2011

Thanks guys!- I adjusted the size/shape of the head- scales-shape of the calves-some more progress on other things-

DockRock · Dec 2011

He has a bit of an action figure feel to him, reminds me of the cartoon. Awesome stuff.

RogelioD · Dec 2011

Love the way this is shaping up! "Dan!" is my hero!

Dan! · Dec 2011

thanks guys- I was definitely trying for the action figure look.

obeyurnapster · Dec 2011

if i had to say smthg, i would say that the orange color is a bit too " flashy ".

Apart from that, its a great execution !

Dan! · Dec 2011

thanks for the feedback I'll see if I can tone it down.

Sukotto · Dec 2011

I kinda like the orange though, it makes him look more cartoony and action-figurish

EtotheRic · Dec 2011

I like the new scales. The color hearkens back to the 16 bit era which I think is pretty cool.

TehSplatt · Dec 2011

this is awsome i really like it but if theres one thing i can see its the way the calf muscle sticks out of the boot dont know if im just drunk or if the boot goes up and the calf just sticks straight out kinda looks like a rool of fat haha but looks cool man

Baddcog · Dec 2011

Yeah I think you should have the shape of the calf in the boot too, but it's looking pretty awesome and the change of scales was a big improvement.

He'd also work great as a salamander (alternate skin for a fighting game)

How about some rivets on the eye patch?

Dan! · Dec 2011

Thanks for looking- Baddcog- I think rivets will have to happen! latest changes

OniLolz · Dec 2011

It`s so damn good! Only a suggestion: maybe you should fix the back of the shirt a little bit (near de neck) and just maybe change the color, like dark gray or something.

Dan! · Dec 2011

ooh looks like I have a stray mask there as well.

JGcount · Dec 2011

Im really loving the upper arms now, especially with the new grey streaks. However, that can is annoying the hell out of me. It might be the colour itself, but I feel its the tone. It is way too bright. And also, the logo on it reads really noisy.

beta_channel · Dec 2011

Needs blood!!! All up on the boot toe and his wraps. Also what others mentioned about masks and such.

butt_sahib · Dec 2011

ADD A SHIT LOAD OF VEINS

shagz412 · Dec 2011

Pimpin' ain't easy but you definitely but you def make it look sexy. Sweet work Dan!

Mrandk · Dec 2011

Love the way you went with this guy dan, though I think you might benefit from showing off some of the definition in his torso. Some sort of indication of what his muscles are doing to that tight shirt would be nice. Just a suggestion, Keep it up!

EtotheRic · Jan 2012

Not entered?! Came out great anyway.
