The Merc

Heres a project ive been working on lately.
I modeled the head a while ago and decided to make some armour to accompony the model. The story behind my character is that hes a backwater sort of ex-soldier/killer for hire thats been in the buisness a long time surviving on little, so his armours old and worn, painted by himself mostly.

Wow love the face sculpt and expression! A full character of this quality would be awesome!

Thanks!
For now im just going to focus on doing a bust and maybe i’ll do a full character.

I did a quick paintover tonight to see where i want to go with texturing and details. I think this captures what I pictured he would look like.
suggestions welcome

Trying to get a feel for the environment and background to this character so did this paintover to flesh out the setting.
This is also helpful to see what I need to add to the character and what to take away. Gotten rid of the tattoos now but im still into a single blind eye.
Like to know what you think.

I like the enviroment and characters armor. Go for!

Hey Chris solid job. I really like the over all work. Did you model it in maya first and then bring it into zbrush?

Great work!

I do think that blind eye would be complete with some kind of surface damage (i.e. facial scar) would complete the look. This would really emphasise the fact that not only is he a man capable of extreme violence but he has has extreme violence done unto him as well.

Modeling, texturing and scene preparation + rendering, all top notch
