Hi.
I have started a new project recently.
This is how it looks so far :]
Critique is welcome.
Best regrads.

nice shape I like it!
Looks good! Nice proportions for a gym buff. Wouldnt mind seeing some other angles of the model too 
I designed him for this particular angle - but I render some slightly different for ya :]
Slightly updated - added moustache and facial hair.
regards

This looks flippin’ awesome - very classical bodybuilding feel to it. I think a stone texture would suit him, like white marble or something, and I’d like to see him rendered against a dark background as opposed to the white.
Other than that, just bloody great.
thx
I did some reshaping - smaller arm, bigger hands - and some tweaks - veins, gose bumps, wrinkles etc - to add more realism. I am going to print it 120x70cm.
(I’ll post it wen I get back from work :])
regards.
So here is an update.
What I am planning to do more:
reshape the arm a little bit
reshape the biceps (make it more bulgy)
reshape the chest - make the pectoralis muscles smaller
make the head bigger
make the neck less foded
add skin details
add hairs end sweat
make veins look real (now are in very WIP state)
add some maps (spec, diff etc)
eyes made in photoshop
Generally this project was inspired by a photo of robby robinson.
Best regards :]
Nice reflected light! I’m digging the blue.
this look good . the feel of the skin details in the specular render is looking good.
Hi.
So I did some of the changes I’ve planned.
What left:
-skin details
-veins
-nipples
-sweat
-some muscle details
-a little reshaping of the arm - triceps mainly.
-make hair more rough
-tweak skin tones and other maps
eyes form photoshop.
Crits is welcome.
Regards.
Looking good! Are you going to paint the sweat on or sculpt it?
Sweat drops - I’ll distribute them in 3d - in modo actually - so sweat will be 3d :] rendered
update.
Some things still need some tweaking. It’ll be printed in B&W by the way.

The 1st 2nd and 3rd posts, bottom lip worked better (IMHO). Is this a living person or are you creating a fictional bodybuilder. Great work so far.
I think that the first lips were better too, but I am doing it for my friend and he wanted them to be like that, or as much the same as on this picture - on which this is based.

Now I see that It need more details on skin.
regards.
