i love what you've done with the hair, looks amazing! the torso also looks pretty good but the proportions look quite a lot off... the arms and legs seem too short, or the head too big. check this out for examples of proportions: http://www.fineart.sk/show.php?w=896
hope it helps!
keep it up!

[Genz]

ehhe dont worry,i've been checking them alot,they are correct.Maybe its the position or his heavy hairy head :)

[Vailias]

we're just conditioned to looking at superheroic proportions, so when someone matches up to a slightly more realisitc set of proportions we think they look off.
The 8 head thing is, as stated, an "ideal" representation, not realistic. Most real people are more in the 6.5 to 7 head high range, and this model looks pretty good in that range. I think what's throwing you off, japhir, is the angle on the pose. :)

model looks good, but the sword is REALLY minimalistic. I mean that handle looks like its just a piece of metal rod. Its such a stark contrast to the rest of the model that it feels somewhat out of place. but other than that it looks good.

[Genz]

Vailias tnx for clearing it out :P
The sword is not finished at all,its a placeholder for now.i'm actually working on the highpoly one then move on to the low.tnx btw :)

[Genz]

another update,finished the sword!!!! Tomorrow,i'll be posting the final image...cant wait lol


"updated at top"

[Ramseus]

ow ow ow ow, is the eye-stabbing white background really necessary?

His pants could do with pockets or a fly or seams or something. And the boots could do with some texturing, solid black is so last year. Sexy sword texturing.

[butt_sahib]

Hey :D
The model looks very nice. The texturing is very nice aswell.
Lets see some other views ;)
i bet the boots ARE textured-maybe its the light...lol....BLAME IT ON THE LIGHT

[Genz]

well guys the boots were not textured and they didnt even have a normal map,so here is the finished one now :P
let me know.
Guys check out the first post,its finished now :)

[Ramseus]

Ah, much better. Nicely done.

[TryForce]

i Kinda dont feel his pants and Face, doesnt resemble to much on the true concept it gues. The hair, wasnt it supposed to be very spiky and all?

the part between his forearm and Hand could be thicker in my opinion.
Shoes look abit to loosy inside, like they look oversized and squeezed.
His legs maybe need to get longer abit for good proporations, also the pants have to go more tighter to the skin at the bottom.


I like the Texturing very much as the upperbody part, You got most of it right just those small things are kindof making him not look alike Cloud on 100%.


If you didnt get what i mean i sure can do a drawover :) gj fuxer!!!

[Genz]

hehe wait to see the new update,i imporved it alot

[TryForce]

i hope so ;D

[Genz]

[TryForce]

yes alot better
even though his pants are still to ordinary. Make them like the concept above maybe, looks good now!

like how you did that skin abit darker then befor.

Hi fuxer

Gr8 work ,Looks like Square-Enix quality.
I always love your work

[Tweaker]

fuxor you should kill the contrast on Clouds hair also dull and saturation right now it's like eggy yellow, also more volume. Make Clouds head smaller right now he is posed as if a GIjoe toy with a broken neck. hehe :) One more thing his eyes seem to be a bit big or maybe you should close them a bit they kinda pop a bit to much for Clouds serious persona.

anyway man excellent work overall, just wanted to give some constructive criticism I don't mean to be harsh or anything.
