I'm starting to see this more and more I think, but the one thing that stands out to me (every time I see it) is the lack of any wrist. There's nice shape to the shoulder, upper arm, but once you get below the elbow the forearm is really short and pretty much seamlessly becomes a hand.

I'd recommend scaling down the upper arm (bicep area) a bit to give you more room to define your wrist, without adding too much length to the arm itself. Might be able to accomplish this with something simple, even just adding that bump from the ulna.

Yup, lookng great. As everyone else said, some more love on the arms would be cool, and maybe slightly smaller and skinnier legs (or perhaps just smaller feet/boots, like the guy from the incredibles?)

leather jacket and belt is looking awesome

Yeah looks better.
That ulnar prominence is what was missing for sure
Bring out the sillhouette of the pants, the look like tubes atm. Push it as much as possible!

I like it a lot! I'm a sucker for those proportions and I love the theme. I do however think it could use add a little more visual interest.

I did some google'ing and found this reference of crocodile Dundee.

http://wijzeman.files.wordpress.com/...ile_dundee.jpg

Maybe something like the armlet he's wearing, would be cool or you could add some damage or rips to the jeans in the knee area, just to create some asymmetry.

I would take another look at the 'machete holster', did you use any reference? The way the holster is attached to the belt seems a bit strange, ofcourse if you have used reference, i've just made a fool of myself :P

Hope you find this helpfull.

I like it! His jeans (especially crotch area) seem too tight though.

It's looking sweet! Keep it up. I'd give some advice about what to do when you get bored with a piece, but I still haven't figured that out myself...

this looks great, his proportions are excellent. some of the crease work in the boots looks a bit mushy but other than that it looks good. You could also do with posting some larger screen shots, it's hard to see all the detail at that size

I actually find the arm muscles on the previous sculpt more appropriate for this character. The new arm muscles are so defined they suggest pretty incredibly low body fat & liquid content, which contradicts the big, barely defined, belly he's got. I think you should consider using more of a 'boxer' physique than that of a body builder, otherwise he might start looking like the hulk.

But I like where this is going, keep it up!

Hi! sorry for the delay i have done some advances in this guy, right now is using two 2k textures one for the cloth and one for the body, the polycount is around 16k, i have to clean the ao a bit but is almost ready to put color on it.

@DashXero: Thanks man, i think the best if you get bored with something is to jump to the next step.

@mr_ace:Thanks man, you are right there is not so much detail, but im gonna put here some larger screenshots

@SCB: Thanks, you right but i just want to jump to the next phase to have this guy done as soon as posible cause is taking me an eternity, i think i will put much more time in the texturing phase cause this modeling phase bored me.

@Hazardous: Yeah! I discovered the proper way to say crocodrile, but was too late in spanish we say cocodrilo is pretty close but its not the same , I will try to improve my english with your help guys, thanks for posting here.
