Alien\Humanoide soldier

[Malanjo]

Hello,

Started this sketch this afternoon. Thinking to do a soldier with guns, props, etc. Don't know if will do the textures. For now just want to have a nice model to print in the end.
Will work more on the torso and head tonight.
C & C are most welcome.

Thanks,
-Miguel

cool start

cool start Malanjo!
A few comments from me, the head design is very alien like but the body looks a bit too human for my taste, are you planning on adding alien features on the body? Just to make the transition head /body a bit smoother?
The sharp cheek bone is cool but I'd probably smooth it out as it meets the upper lip area.
The ears look quite straight and I am not too sure what the neck details are supposed to represent, are these alien features or skin folds?
Torso looks quite natural, keep it up :bouncy:

Cheers

Cool update Malanjo! I wonder if the pec area might be too spiky as this is supposed to deform quite a bit when moving.
Anyways, cool stuff mate :rofl:

[Malanjo]

Nice point. Can soft it a little bit.
Today will finish the arms & hands, and face area.

note: Weird music on the background... lol... from the banner. Will go to Metallica again in a minute... lol

Thanks once again for the tips,

Nice one Miguel :beerchug:
Just curious, how did you pose the mesh?

Cheers,

Pascal

Thanks gkaine!

Really thanks Mr. Pascal! Posed the mesh using transpose master in Zbrush, pretty easy and fast. Maybe some day will do a retopo + UVS and a beauty render of it. Did this one just to do the transition between advertise commercial work and personal work, to clear the mind a little bit for the next projects.

Today started a new ilustration! :bouncy: Is not character based, was inspired by Billabong's thread, more hard surface stuff + environement. Will post a WIP stuff maybe this next week.

Thanks once again guys, really appreciate your help! :thumbsup:

Best,
