Mob Thug
polycounter lvl 18
Just wanted to aplogize for the bullshit earlier. I way overreacted to the situation and said stuff i didn't mean. I just want to do kickass work. feel free to crit.
beefed up the proportions on him a bit more. obviously not the hands, which i think is a sore point visually right now, but i'll get to them. folds, etc. will of course be added. really just working on underlying form.
thanks for the feedback so far, i think it's really helped the model along, esp. suprore's. as much as i hated it at the time, it really motivated me to get more into the anatomy of the model. i don't want to go too wide on him like that paintover. i feel it'd be too much of a charicature. hopefully he's feeling a bit better now.

I think it looks cool, I guess you're planning on taking it into ZBrush or Mudbox to do the cloth folds and detailing?
At the moment I'd be careful with the angle of the legs, they seem like they're tapering outward - I'd pull out the knees a bit and bring the feet closer together. That'd probably give him a more solid grounding.
Keep it up!
Even if you don't want to make him as big as in Kiril0t's paintover, take a look at how differently the suit fit on his take on your thug. If you want him to be fairly lean, there's no need to make him much bigger, but a slightly more muscular definition of forms would go a long way torward selling the thuggish/hitman look.
This looks like a solid Zbrush base to me. The hands look a little feminine, but there's enough there to get sculpting.
Also I think this has been mentioned but try to play with the silouette a little more, something small such as a kink in pants makes a huge difference.
Remember the Forza crowds? The legs were the best part because they came out so irregular in the scans. Shoot me an email if you want some shots of what I mean.
Head looks great, lots of attitude.
you gonna leave him with a tshirt or go for the suit and tie look?
yu know if I was a hitman I would wear a leisure suit or something inconspicuous to avoid looking like I was a hitman:)
here's what i have for the hand so far. there's little things i need to change but overall i'm likin' where it's at. feel free to point anything strange out. still coming across too thin? really can't say enough good shit about the new clay tools in zbrush, fucking awesome.
And Daz, i just literally finished watching sexy beast lol, damn wierd timing. Don MAKES that film
You've got some great reference in front of you attached to the end of your arms, take a look at them from every angle and see what you can do to make the sculpt match them better in terms of overall shape
Okkun, thanks. i have some pants ref but could probably use some more, I'll let you know.
Ruz, you mean like this?:

Seconded. And while you're at it get "dynamic figure drawing " as well from the same author. And since they practically give them away, get some bridgman too, like "constructive anatomy". amazon.com is your friend!

can't agree, while Hogarths work is quite good to get a nice understanding of the muscleflow, i wouldn't reccomend his work in terms of form and structure, i needed quite a while to get his balloon muscles out of my work. There are defintely better anatomy books out there then the ones from hogarth. The ones by Gottfried Bammes for example, while Hogarths work is good to start with in anatomy, you should switch to better books when you go on with your studies.
i like his face
thanks japhir.
heh, rhinokey, that's true. but i think he just really exaggerates the forms that are actually there for the sake of readability and comprehension.
I'd definitely pull the beltline of the trousers out a bit right now, and don't make the tuck-in of the shirt quite so pronounced, then it'd look more natural.
if the rest turns out as well as this so far, it'll be a great character!
MoP, i wanted to give him a bit of fat content, maybe i should hang that over the waist line a bit, huh? or would you still consider the waist line too thin?
