Hey CGHUB, couldn't resist giving this contest a go, got some earlly work done on the base mesh, time to get zbrushing! Will try and keep this updated regularly as I go.

[LATEST UPDATE]

What's the idea behind this one? It's hard to tell at this stage

Scampi Not entirely sure at the moment background wise, was thinking of a sub-species of the drell or something similar.

Done a bit more refining to the base mesh, like to get my foundations down first, now it's time to get it into zbrush.

Finally got around to getting this guy into zbrush, great to finally get the chance to get sculpting

Haven't worked on this in far too long, finally got around to blocking out the armour / clothes. Just a start but after quite a bit of messing around I've found something I'm actually kinda happy with, will see how it looks once I've finished blocking stuff out. The back plates are very placeholder, simply using them as a guide for what will eventually go there, same for the chest element, let me know what you think, cheers.

GuilhermeC Thanks dude

Anyway, I hate posting just text updates, I just can't bring myself to do it so here's a super quick update after doing some refinement on the armour elements. Now just to replicate that style over the whole thing... What have I gotten myself into...

Any feedback appreciated people, cheers

I love the face... got some nice personality on it!
The only i'd change or twist a little is the lack of noose...
The armor is getting great!
Keep it up!

great composition .. :)

FreeSlave Thanks man, gonna experiment with nostrils and what not once I get back into zbrush, I rather like the lack of a nose so I'm not sure what I'll do yet.

vineet14 Thanks.

Quicky update, just a bit more refinement on the armour, mostly the chest area, and made a shift in presentation style, was getting a little tricky to read some of the shapes with all those dark shaders. Let me know what you think, cheers.
