Thanks guys!

marvel_modeler:yeah I modeled the base mesh and posed it in maya then took it into zbrush for sculpting.

Starting to work on the skin textures,
heres a quick update.

Been playing around with the eyes and mouth today, quick render with a paint over of facial and head hair. Hopefuly that will come together, really have nill experience with hair systems.
Like to know what you think, suggestions ? :slight_smile:

Really amazing work and great facial expression. I liked the metal teeth and the other earring a bit better though for what it’s worth. The nose ring also seems a bit over the top.

I love him with the black eyes, i know this wasn’t intended as the final look but I think he looks badass.
The black eyes work well with the goggles as well. kind of ties in and makes a story if you get what I mean, sort of like riddick I suppose.

eyes asside i think its a really nice sculpt mate. awesome detail and really nice materials. :+1: :+1: :+1:

Thanks so much for comments, I think you have a point neurogenesis, perhaps the nose ring is a bit too much.

I agree with getting rid of the nose ring and probably the earing as well, if hes a mercenary it would just be a risk to have. Love the way its looking though, I think you should make the teeth a bit more yellow and get some of those scars from the concept in the skin textures.
Great work man :+1:

Got rid of the jewlery, textured the goggles and have reworked the skin shader. Still lots to do for the skin but
pretty happy with the results so far.
Again paint over for the hair.

That armor texture looks sweet.

excellent work !

Awesome! cant wait to see how you achieve the mo hawk.

Having some trouble achieving the mo hawk so just went back to
tweaking a few things. I rendered this out as a test render, lots of
things to fix up but getting close to completion.
suggestions welcome.

Wow man, that’s really nice. love the sculpt, love the textures. good job

Thanks Ichiban appreciate the compliments.

Wow awesome work! How did you do the rendering?
Can you explain the lighting setup? Hope you figure out
how to do to the mo hawk, think it could really enhance the model.

Hi Porkpie Samurai! You’re makin’ great progress on the sculpt! I love the model without the mohawk as well! :+1: !

thanks Gash and Etcher, will do a lighting breakdown
soon, but really its pretty simple, just using a mental ray sss shader and a 3 point lighting with a hdr.
