The Soldier

My whole reason for making this model, is because of ukitakumuki…
you can get to his deviant art page at here

He basically was the inspiration and motivation to do this…
The modeling basis is of my own ideas and sketches, basically is going to look nearly EXACTLY as my dude wif a gun picture ( https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13588 ) I’m not sure where I put the paper that I drew it on… but yeah, basically when he’s all done, the head will be like what I showed you, and the body basis will be like my picture… I always wanted to model a gas mask and a helmet… :smiley: well, here it is, comments and critiqueing are highly recommended… bash it if you must, congratulate me if you have to ( :wink: )
I’ll keep you all updated throughout the project…

cool!

not so keen on the eye peices though, maybe make them bigger and rounder?

Reminds me of Farenheit 451…ahhh…the good old days when people really knew how to write about oppression…

http://photo.starblvd.net/DMBadCat/3-1-4.jpg that look any better?

Here’s something I just noticed…the opening of the “gas mask” looks to me to be a bit more like a salt shaker than a gask mask…or perhaps more like a bottle of baby powder…dunno…anyone agree?

Now he looks like a truck :wink:

try looking at some german WWI + II gas masks.

perhaps try completely round?

the bottom of the mask should hug the jawline a bit more too.

don’t worry desoto, it look completely that way to me too, and don’t worry guys, it should look a LOT better when it’s textured, I have a few ideas for the eyeballs, don’t get too excit3d about that part yet, I’ll fix the chin part…

ok, I added some colour, fixed the chin, made the eyes bigger, is it looking the slightest better now? http://photo.starblvd.net/DMBadCat/3-1-5.jpg

edit: this is more of a futuristic concept, so I’m not going to try for a ww2 theme… kind of a new style I guess- how does it look now?

I think its starting to look awsome. Creepy in fact. What kind of weapon will they carry?

I’m thinking about that, it will be HUGe… about as big as a rocket launcher, the style mix of an m-16 and a sniper, wif a scope, and all kinds of gadgetry… I dunno, just brainstorming right now, soon I’ll start concept sketches :smiley:

all good things (like the helmet) that I make come from concept sketches that I draw…

Edit: I’ma call it quits for the night, goin to see a movie, and do my book report :expressionless: oh joy :smiley: anyway, I’m glad ya like it, I like it, I guess that’s a good thing :stuck_out_tongue: see y’all tomarah

oh wow! I made a quick skull (no sketches) and somehow MAGICALLY it fit right into my helmet :smiley: Smiles and faints cool!

hopefully when I make this model all finished up, it should be an animation…
