Sumea Modeller Challenge

Havent got anything to show yet, just securing my spot.

Ive got a few projects on at the moment including getting my butt kicked by Jason Chan in ConceptArt.org's Thunder: Last man standing
[:X][:X][:X]

Hopefully I can get started this weekend.
I do have a character in mind but want to do a few different concepts.

nice variety of concepts makk. The one you have gone with has a bit of middle eastern / ancient egyptian flavour in my eyes. if you plan to do a weapon for him maybe something along those lines might suit and make it a bit different from the pack to boot?

yeah, those abs could do with a bit of a work out *looks down and talks to self* yeah, those abs could do with a bit of a work out too...

rofl! yeah John I know what you mean :)
Im glad you thought of middle eastern/ ancient egyptian as that is what Im going for. There will be some sort of symbol painted on the front of his skirt cloth.

Here is a minor update for the torso, pretty much finished..

Oh and I suppose there is no way to like "erase" part of what youve done in ZB? I want to go back and be able to redo the abs but keep everything else that Ive done to it.

his torso is looking a bit boxy Makk, his back is especially flat, you had the same issue with your polycount dom war general if i remember correctly. the bits and pieces of anatomy are in the right place, but the over-all form aint right. The proportions look good though

could use the smooth tool, works best at lower subD levels

This is how I see it makk. Theres a couple of problem areas, a few of the muscle forms seem to independent. Like where the pecs joins with the arms and the abs. The abs are where alot of the boxyness is coming from i think, they need more of a V shape happening, at the moment they are basicly a grid and the edge of the rib cage is maybe a bit to defined. Just need to make the muscles flow a bit better and your problems fixed.

the back and abs basically just look like flat surfaces with outlines of muscles cut into them. just pay more attention to your reference and itll look spiffy

i can see the boxyness mostly in the perspective shots you can see with the lighting, a straight line being formed by the dark area and light area (directly under his nipples)

You doing really well tho, just a few little tweaks to positioning of muscles but the shape is comming along great ! keep working on it and dont give up.
