Generic Male Model - ZBrush and Maya

[Antropus]

Hi,
this is a new model I started yesterday. I used my female model (also wip) as base for this one, tweaking the entire mesh in ZBrush to get the male muscles basic structure. That's why you will notice lots of pinches all over the body. I'll fix it slowly for my future posts. Some areas need more definition but since this is based on the female model, I need to redo the most of the topoly to avoid pinches and add more definition. Slowly but surely. I'm using ZBrush and Maya for the job.
My intention is to have a male and a female basic models so I can use it as base for my future models.

very nice!

I love simple and clean model... Always nice to look at...

Juste regardring the proportions, the body seems to be bigger than all the other members, or maybe its the head to be small?... Hope to see more!

I like it,very much. but i'd check a bit proportions. head seems to be a bit too small, and deltoids seem to end too low, so that you get a strange feeling with his shoulder area. if you imagine to see his bones under him, connectin with the acromion, arms seem to start too low .

[Antropus]

Thanks for the comments guys

About the proportions with the head/body, maybe is something camera related? I say that because I created an average proportion male, with not even 8 heads proportion (heros are 8 heads proportion). He is just a little bit thick but I know real people worse than that

Here are the proportions I have so far. The head size looks fine to me (the body need some tweak, of course):

I'm working on the first stages of nearly the same project. Although I'm starting with the male version first.

Nice work, Antropus.

But I have a few small crits 'bout the arms...

Looks actually that the shoulder joints are joining the torso in the middle. The arms looks like they're ok, in terms of proportions, but they're not in the right high.... Sorry, my english skill is showing its limits there, so I can't go further in the explanations, but if you look anywhere on the net, here for example, you'll see what I want to say.

Plus, the forearm muscles seems to be a bit overgrown, particulary in the elbow area... this dude got some pretty arms here, and... normal hands.

Hope it'll help.

Bye !

hi antropus, great work so far, but i think too that the arms should be a bit higher, and maybe the head a bit bigger...anyway great job so far, i think is a good idea to have this kind of generic models, just great to start working from them.

bigger hed, bigger triceps :] and it will be cool And i think he need a litlle more definition behind his neck :]
