MW2007 Playermodel
 

Keep in mind I'm only working on the low-res meshes to start... triangle limit's ~5000 for the full model, but I want to keep it around 1100/1200.

The character has two shield generators -- one on the back and one on the head (gameplay wise if you shoot with a big gun or smack the cone in the middle you'll cause that generator to explode instantly gibbing whoever is in the suit in a satisfying gore fountain.)

The head I could describe as being stuck between a spoon and a gasmask.

Any comments/suggestions to make the helmet/mask stand out more? Or do you think that textures will fix that up right nice?

got a concept drawing or photo so we can see what effect/look you're after?

Unfortunately no, for scales (obviously except the tail, I do NOT have a tail stick'n out my spinal cord) I used a picture of myself in my boxers... spare the both of us and not ask? :p

Update: Note --

The hands are designed to look like they are, they're sort-of bricks with cylindrical round things on them... its basically a glove.

The armor is also supposed to look blocky and edgy.

The checkerboard look will also go away when I start taking away polygons, though not entirely... trying to keep a machinish quality.
