this guy really remembers me to the zombie that always appears in almost all of iron maiden cd's cover, who is supposed to be iron maiden singer... and i think it is inspired on him, dont you?

I'd stick with your own adaption from the images above as they are sufficiently different from 'eddie'.

Good luck btw! user added image

i think i cant follow this as its based in the game's concept art,
but the thing its that it has never been done in the same quality as this concept art shows.

the rules say that u must give it something yours, and its really a pity because i had even begin to make some concept by myself....
just to use it helping myself when im modeling

does any of you thinks it will be ok if i change some things in the model like give it new clothes??

because i dont think so, i think i would spoil it. I would like to model it just like in the oficial art

just change the whole image so it takes on a different character (if im getting on the right tracks)

Kind of like Johnny depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to Pirates of the Caribbean, same thing but completly dfferent in every way??

Does that make sense??

Good luck man

i dont mean that.
what im trying to say is that the images ive posted are the original concept art of the game and that i have realised that whoever drawn it must have inspired in eddie

Don't go away from the eddie like concept, even if it's not. It would still be pretty cool to see a model that resembled him a little.
