    Don't give him any hair. He looks cool bald.

    Nice, but you should make him a little bit more ripped, or a lot. If I were you I would try putting a mask on him like this one:

    It might look nice but then again maybe not. Just gotta try it and find out even if its a waste of time.

    Yay! Finished this piece quite quickly for my exotique 5 entry.
    I know u guys really liked the bald look, but i had a previous piece with bald tattoo look. Would have been way too similar. thanks for the advice anyway guys. Thinking of creating a quick gallery to show my entire process.

    Nice!

    I don't think you should make him that much more muscly like the previous comment mentioned, beause I think he looks like he's fit enough to handle the job, plus we have WAY too many over the top muscly guys around here.. right? haha

    Default My guyver-darksector-influenced character

    hey guys, here's a new scuplt that I'm working on. I wanted it to have a "guyver mixed with dark-sector" type of look. Still have to detail the mechanical bits properly (jaw brace). Still trying to figure out how to get some nice hard edge work done. Any suggestions? much appreciated.

    btw: thanks light!! my thoughts exactly, he's a graceful swordsman!

    I like both of your sculpts very much! While the paint-over of your swordsman looks really good, it looks more like a painting than a 3d piece of art. If that is what your going for, then great but if you have the time and inclination to work on a render, please do so!

    I really like the Guyver/Dark Sector look, too! Keep going with that for sure!

    phhmlw : thanks my man! yeah the swordsman came out very 2d-ish. Lost alot of the 3d shading for my liking. If I have some time I will def work on a better 3d render

    Here's a little more detail on the guyver/darksector guy. Enjoy!
