New "The Corrupt" for UT3

[Vailias]

Finally to a "complete" stage. Complete enough anyway.
This is the basic military bot model that the rest of the faction are going to be built on.
Leg armor is still a little lumpy, but maya's sculpting tools are just making it worse, so I'll deal with it for now.

Next steps:
Additional faces and Armors for characters: Xan, Warboss(face featured), Tensor, and Syzygy

I also need to pick a good color scheme that won't stomp on any existing UT3 factions, but looks good in the process.
Xan has always been military green, so I may go that route. Since I'm making mix and match parts They are going to have to share color schemes and look good at the same time.

Suggestions? Crits? Thoughts?

Wow I like the nod to muscle fiber in the design. As far as colors, yellow and black? Green sounds great, though. Can't wait to see what you do with this guy.

New faces.

Xan and Tensor, respectively.
One or two more to do then on to armor sets.

2 cents make his back area bigger, to me the muscle fibers of the neck would lend to a beefing up of the upper back. You have a lot of beautiful detail that I just kinda gloss over because its mirrored, throw in some elements to the arms and legs to mix it up a bit, just one of the challenges of robots/non-organic.

Tensor helmet looks way better than the others.

I would make those legs less wide, especially around the hips/buttocks/upper thigh zone. It almost makes him look womanly atm, in some weird buff female robot kinda way....

Thanks both for the comments.

Mike: yes quite right. I'm going to rebuild the others entirely. Tensor had the most solid design in my mind, and so was the strongest, but the others need to be equally strong to live up to their namesake/ what I want/ place in MSU phase 2.

J: That is the general consensus. I did build him slight of torso for a reason, but it is just reading as incorrect instead, so I've expanded the chest a bit to compensate.

This base model is probably going to stay symmetrical, or at least mostly symmetrical. Its supposed to be the mass produced run of the mill bot, T-800 style. The individual character armors will have some asymmetric elements to them to add interest.

Started working on the first armor set, this one is for Xan

HELMET IS NOT DONE!!. its far to plain right now.
