A looks good with D's mouth and nose area.

[crazymoon]

Alright so I played around more with A and C and scrapped the others basically taking into account the mouth and nose area @nicococo mentioned (ty btw for commenting). I don't dislike 1, but 2 looks more advanced/sentient imo because of the human features. 1 is interesting, but probably not what I will be going for in this project.

[crazymoon]

Slowly working the upper body. Hopefully tomorrow I can make a similar pass on the lower body and head and then start designing some of the hard surface parts before going onto the 3rd pass on the body. I really want to try keeping a gentle giant aesthetic to him. I want to give him a peaceful look, not really threatening but slightly creepy. Hence the very human anatomy but elongated limbs. Hopefully this gives me an easily relatable creature in the end ^^

[fantasymaster]

Great progress! Nice sculpting on that chest. Keep it up.

[crazymoon]

Alright did some head and legs. Gonna do one more pass on the main body before moving on to the Hard surface parts. Just because I want some more wrinkles/unevenness (if that's a word) around the body to fit the body more. Was thinking more about the character, since I wanted a wise type of alien I looked at old shamans and Mongolian people. Still needs some polishing, but that'll be once I have the hard surface parts at least designed. Also might still decrease the amount of wrinkles on the top of the head and neck, at least push them back a bit more to create some more intended focus.

[crazymoon]

Made some more pushes here and there. A couple more passes needed to complete the body. For now I will start designing some hard surface parts. The body is subdivided so I can still make smaller proportional changes if I find them necessary without losing detail.

[fantasymaster]

I was not disapointed. Some great sculpting here!

[shuma]

I digging the feel of the thin skin on top of muscles. really nice sculpt.

[aveon]

Nice dude! my only point would be to think about how he expresses his feelings and thoughts as far as the face is concerned, but either way looks great so far (those E.T fingers! haha). Looking forward to your progress

[crazymoon]

@fantasymaster Thank you!
@shuma Thanks :3
@aveon Thanks man! I don't quite understand what you mean on the face... He has a pretty human face, with the muscles and bones, what do you mean how he could express his feelings and thoughts? If you could elaborate or explain a bit better I'd appreciate it

[aveon]

It was more relevant when you were still deciding the anatomy structure of the head, so I mentioned it in case you weren't settled on your current anatomy for the head v('u' )v

[crazymoon]

@aveon Ohhhhhh hahaha ok now I get it, like as a help to settle on a face, you imagine the expressions and so. That's a neat trick, might try that on the next character to see how it affects the design process :3 Thanks for clearing that up

[maxloegler]

great sculpting and some nice ideas!
but the feet don't fit, somehow. maybe it's because you unified human feet with animal hooves in a kind of strange way. they are very bulky compared to the rest.

[crazymoon]

Still trying to settle on the hard surface design. Still need another "clothy" part for the upper part of the body. Also thinking of a ornamental kind of crown for him. Since I don't want a helmet, but I do want something of hard surface on the head if that makes sense.
@maxloegler Hey thanks for the feedback man! Yeah I agree, at first I thought the bulky feet would suit him because of this height, but the more I look at them the more I dislike them. Will probably move them towards something longer and skinnier like the hands, I think it would look better.

[maxloegler]

yeah, a crown would suit him quite well. looks cool, like a boss!
too bad, that all the nice body sculpting is hidden beneath the hard surface
waiting to see, how you will solve the feet.

[rath-nikhil]

Awesome! Love the face, looks very dignified. Also great proportioning, the long fingers compliment the tall stature very well.
reminds me of the cloners from kamino (starwars)

Hardsurface armors coming along nicely, and great work on the sculpting on the body, especially the feel of the texture of the skin on muscle.

I think the feet work, perhaps the heels feel a little chunky, though its probably just the perspective.

[alien_hand]

Great work so far dude lovin th overall aesthetic dude. I thing the chunky heels work as there are bulbous parts of his body (finger tips)
Also his over tall lanky proportions he'd need big solid feet to stand up and keep balance.

[crazymoon]

@maxloegler Thanks for the feedback again :3 Yeah it is a shame most of the body is hidden.. Will show it in a breakdown of sorts later on
@rath-nikhil Thanks for the feedback man! Much appreciated :>
@alien_hand Thanks man! Glad you like it so far!

Alright as an update, I changed the feet, and tweaked the fingers a bit. Gave him some nails. It gives him a different kind of feel and I like it so far. Also tried making the crown/headpiece. I think this one looks a bit too sinister for him, but I don't dislike it completely. Still have to play around with different shapes up there. I like some of the curves, but I might go for something a bit softer. I do want it to broaden his head silhouette though for sure. Also feet might have to be a tad less long >.<

[engcenti]

It's looking good! I agree with this new feet The crown has an interesting shape, why not just scale-down it ?

[maxloegler]

hehe, miss maleficent is greeting

the feet are much better this way. i don't know, but this could fit him somehow. the armor of the cryptionian/general zod (man of steel movie)
