On time, sort of.

The basic style for the player models is a mix of what Ccarcia did [link] and what cowboy is doing [link]. The idea is to use cowboys concepts as the skeleton, and add armor plates in the style that Ccarcia drew them. The scout is CCarcia's drawing, minus the diamonds and black iRobot-esque muscle, with cowboys skeletal stlye instead.

This is my first attempt at a character model. This diary will be fairly slow. Critiques are welcomed, please be brutally honest.

This is what I have so far:

Its a leg, if you cant tell

A bit anti-climactic, isn't it? I've remodeled the whole thing twice, and the knee/joint has gone through at least 6 revisions (2 of which were based on the black muscle style). I'm not sure If I will keep it at this. The round things that look like livers will be ribbed via normal map.

The next step is the foot, which will incorporate a visual indication that the scout does not take fall damage.

I'm so excited!!! : D

I love feet!! ^_^

Also he's lying, the scout comes equipped with 6 livers so he can survive the effects of his brutal alcohol addiction.

LOLD TO NO FUCKING END!

is that the front of the leg or the back?

are you going for stuff that looks like its actually functional?
cause cowboy's work looks cool but it looks like it would just fall over.
im guessing this would be like the left leg 3/4 view with the knee to the right
doesn't look too bad but i would say flip the joint 180 and i dont get the things on the back of the knee.

if you dont understand i can model up something real quick if you are interested.

cant wait to see the rest of it.

I had the joint flipped in the version prior to this one, but it looked too much like the back of a knee.

The things in the back are pneumatic air bag, made out of some flexible bullet proof material. Pump air in to straighten the leg, suck air out to bend it.

Imo you should move the kneecap up, because the airsacs look like calf muscles to me. It's hard to tell from that angle, do you have any more pictures?
