Psymon Stark
With SSX coming out in two days I decided to do my rendition of Psymon. As a long time fan I was really disappointed with the redesign of Psymon in the new SSX game because they didn't keep any of Psymon's trademark features at all. This is meant to be my take on how I would have wanted Psymon to look like in the game.
Much like how the new SSX is set 6 years after Blur I will pay respect to Psymon's current age which is around 37.
With Psymon I really wanted to sell that dark and sinister feel to his character so I chose to go with a hair style that would help me reflect that. I drew inspiration from Jin Kazama from Tekken, Shadow the Hedgehog from the sonic series, and since Psymon is to be a biker guy I chose to slick his hair back like greasers from the 50's.
I'm remaining true to the SSX Tricky Psymon because that is the character I feel in love with and so far he has been fun to create.
I started working on him last night so expect updates on the rest of this character. Enjoy!

The character looks good at a first glance, but the longer you look at it, the more stuff looks off.

I'm no character artist, but those are my thoughts on this.
Keep it up!
As for the head, its kinda hard to tell with this angle. Maybe a side/front shot would help
I just started on the body last night. I'm running at about 14,000 polys at the moment. I have been studying anatomy like crazy and I was wondering if anyone had any critiques on this guy. Please don't be afraid to post. I haven't gotten that many posts on this project on any forums so please post.
#1: This is a sleeveless collared leather jacket worn over an undershirt.
#2: This is just a basic black vest with a white undershirt.
#3: Basically the same thing as #1 except it has sleeves.
#4: This is Psymon's traditional white tank top that he wore in SSX Tricky.
#5: This is the standard black hoodie with a white T-Shirt underneath.
#6: With this suit I decided to go for a bit of a nobility look and those the interesting collar and buttons on this shirt.
#7: This is somewhat like #'s 1 and 3, except this is the unzipped version.
#8: This is personally my favorite design so far. It is a leather pea coat with 1 set of buckles and buttons to hold the coat together. I remained true to Psymon's tattoos with the chain pattern on this coat.
Tell me what you think of the designs so far and please post which ones you like the most. This guy is meant to be a heavy metal/biker guy, but I want to give him a more noble spin.
Hope you like the designs.
Number 8 is my favourite aswell with 2 being my second favourite.
From this angle the thighs look a little bit to bulky
I guess you've seen Tom Parkers (Crazyfool on GameArtisans) version?

Yeah haha. I actually thought i was being original with the belt design, but it looks like I was thinking of this design subconsciously. Anyway here is the final design.
Keep it coming. The details on this guy's face make the project look promising.
