RogerP · Aug 2012

No picture???

Darkbox · Aug 2012

I had some problems with photobucket, i think its ready now, sorry

walklikethis · Aug 2012

i like it man, its quite TF2 ish and i like the overall body shape also the muscle placements look good on the arms, but im not huge on anatomy so i could be wrong.

butt_sahib · Aug 2012

As i said on the WAYWO thread, looking sweet

TehSplatt · Aug 2012

Looks awesome so far haha

Two Listen · Aug 2012

I'm starting to see this more and more I think, but the one thing that stands out to me (every time I see it) is the lack of any wrist. There's nice shape to the shoulder, upper arm, but once you get below the elbow the forearm is really short and pretty much seamlessly becomes a hand.

I'd recommend scaling down the upper arm (bicep area) a bit to give you more room to define your wrist, without adding too much length to the arm itself. Might be able to accomplish this with something simple, even just adding that bump from the ulna.

Blaisoid · Aug 2012

it's lookin' sweet, two listen has a point about wrists though.

Drav · Aug 2012

Yup, lookng great. As everyone else said, some more love on the arms would be cool, and maybe slightly smaller and skinnier legs (or perhaps just smaller feet/boots, like the guy from the incredibles?)

leather jacket and belt is looking awesome

Darkbox · Aug 2012

Hi, thanks for your comments, two listen, you are right im doing fixes with your feedback, and im triying to put more love in arms, thanks drav, could you tellme what do you think about these changes?, thanks to all the people that wrote here

butt_sahib · Aug 2012

Yeah looks better.
That ulnar prominence is what was missing for sure

Bring out the sillhouette of the pants, the look like tubes atm. Push it as much as possible!

Darkbox · Aug 2012

butt, Thanks for your suggestions i will do it, i have a feedback from a friend of mine his name is simon loche http://www.simonloche.com/ is a very good artis an he made some drawings on top the model to correct a bit the shape and proportions, i wil do both things

, here is the feedback from him

Darkbox · Aug 2012

Hi, here is the model so far, i have done some retouchs in shape proportions and the boots . what do you think? thanks:)

Darkbox · Aug 2012

Hi this is my last update, any suggestion?

Stefan_Martens · Aug 2012

I like it a lot! I'm a sucker for those proportions and I love the theme. I do however think it could use add a little more visual interest.

I did some google'ing and found this reference of crocodile Dundee.

Maybe something like the armlet he's wearing, would be cool or you could add some damage or rips to the jeans in the knee area, just to create some asymmetry.

I would take another look at the 'machete holster', did you use any reference? The way the holster is attached to the belt seems a bit strange, ofcourse if you have used reference, i've just made a fool of myself :P

Hope you find this helpfull.

butt_sahib · Aug 2012

Looks great. Itll look even better when you start detailing

Fomori · Aug 2012

I like it! His jeans (especially crotch area) seem too tight though.

Octo · Aug 2012

Pretty cool.
You spelled crocodile as cocodrile...twice!

Darkbox · Oct 2012

Hi, after some time im gonna try to continue with this badguy :poly121: some advance done below.

Darkbox · Dec 2012

After long time im jumping to the next step, im feeling a bit bored

so its time to move to retopo and texture.
Finally i did some work in the high, i know that i could make it better but i want to finish this guy.

Some high screenshots

Thanks.

DashXero · Dec 2012

It's looking sweet! Keep it up. I'd give some advice about what to do when you get bored with a piece, but I still haven't figured that out myself...

mr_ace · Dec 2012

this looks great, his proportions are excellent. some of the crease work in the boots looks a bit mushy but other than that it looks good. You could also do with posting some larger screen shots, it's hard to see all the detail at that size

PaulP · Dec 2012

I actually find the arm muscles on the previous sculpt more appropriate for this character. The new arm muscles are so defined they suggest pretty incredibly low body fat & liquid content, which contradicts the big, barely defined, belly he's got. I think you should consider using more of a 'boxer' physique than that of a body builder, otherwise he might start looking like the hulk.

But I like where this is going, keep it up!

Hazardous · Dec 2012

Now i know why my spanish friend says Cocodrile!!!! hahaha oh man!

Cool character too man, looking forward to seeing how he ends up

Darkbox · Jan 2013

Hi! sorry for the delay i have done some advances in this guy, right now is using two 2k textures one for the cloth and one for the body, the polycount is around 16k, i have to clean the ao a bit but is almost ready to put color on it.

@DashXero: Thanks man, i think the best if you get bored with something is to jump to the next step.

@mr_ace:Thanks man, you are right there is not so much detail, but im gonna put here some larger screenshots

@SCB: Thanks, you right but i just want to jump to the next phase to have this guy done as soon as posible cause is taking me an eternity:poly142:, i think i will put much more time in the texturing phase cause this modeling phase bored me.

@Hazardous: Yeah! I discovered the proper way to say crocodrile, but was too late :poly122: in spanish we say cocodrilo is pretty close but its not the same :poly121:, I will try to improve my english with your help guys, thanks for posting here.

Darkbox · Jan 2013

Hi! right now i'm trying to find a correct color combination for my base colors, any suggestion ?? thanks

Darkbox · Jan 2013

Hi guys, after several color tests, i have decided these colors as the definitive ones, maybe im using too much variation,:poly122: what do you think?, thanks.
Feedback always welcomeee!!! :poly121:

DashXero · Jan 2013

I think you've actually got a fairly good amount of variation going on there already. You've only really got two hues and a shade. When creating focused designs, that's a pretty good starting point. Depending on what texturing style you're going for, you might want to subtly work some deep greens and/or blues into your croc leather.

Darkbox · Jan 2013

I will do it dashxero, thanks for your comment, a bit more texture wip, right now im making a skin color base

Darkbox · Jan 2013

Some work done in skin color, i will continue with the cloth ...:poly124:

Crits always welcome

GabrielP · Jan 2013

I think the skin could use just a touch more pink in some areas. It looks good but not quite fleshy enough yet.

Darkbox · Feb 2013

@GabrielP: you are right man, im trying to put some skin color variation going to red to give much more fleshy..

The one on the right is one quick overpaint to see how it looks with a bit of color variation.

Any crit?

DashXero · Feb 2013

It's looking good!

Darkbox · Jun 2013

Hi, thanks everybody, after a while im back triying to finish this guy, right now im texturing and working materials,.. Im a bit bored

, any crit is welcome

Darkbox · Jun 2013

Finally i have decided to finish the character and to move to another project,thanks to all who have reply this thread. I will start a new one soon

As always, any crit is welcome, thanks.

Darkbox · Jan 2014

Hi, after long time i have decided to update the character presentation, i hope you like it.
Thanks

ysalex · Jan 2014

pretty cool man I like the flesh tones you went with.

Darkbox · Jan 2014

Thanks ysalex

im glad you like it, i think i have to improve more stuff, but i leave it for the next one.
Here you have the textures, i think that the result could be much better, cause there is a lot of information painted in the texture and it could be much more dynamic with the shader.

Anyway, thanks

Fomori · Jan 2014

Much better presentation, but the scale of that building seems too large. He's a big guy right? Compare the size of his head with the steps or the door behind him. His head seems tiny! I would enlarge your character.

Darkbox · Jan 2014

Hi Fomort, thanks for your reply, i think you are absolutelly right, right now im bored of him, this project took me one year.. i will jump to another thing, anyway your advice is great!.
