guy wearing body gear
i posted this guy on here way back to see what people thought of him and as you can see he hasnt really gone that much further, had no time what so ever to do work on him... not fair!
the texturing is extreamly basic as im really not that good at it so any pointers would be great, and dont worry, the arms arnt going to stay that colour and the hat has yet to change loads.
any way any C&C would be amazing
so come on people... reply to this post

the legs look like cylinders. look at your legs and model the legs loosely around those (or some other reference)
the feet are really pointy and symmetrical. feet curve around.
he also looks a bit top heavy now that i look more closely, lots of upper body strength, wimpy legs.

im probably a bigger n00b than you but i still give tons of advice. you dont need to have a huge amount of technical knowledge to be able to point out some things that look odd. i also find that those who know less sometimes make better critics because they cannot appreciate the work that goes into something and look at it only for what it is, so you can always give advice. of course those with more experience will be able to give better advice but everyone's input is valued.Originally posted by alienscience
Nice job, sorry but I'm only a newb so I can't give help. But just to say, nice job on the helmet, it reminds me of the master cheif
