Gears Inspired Soldier
polycounter lvl 10
Hey dudes! I'm a big fan of the gears art style so I wanted to give it a shot. My biggest difficulty are those dang pants folds.
I'd love to know what you think so far!

The shape of his torso armor looks a bit odd and kind of feminine. The waist being pretty thin in comparison to the round bits doesn't look tough to me and makes the round bits seem like boobs. If you check out the actual gears characters, the overall armor is pretty bulky and the circles sit flush with most of it. Actually, since I did go and look, the shapes you have are pretty similar to the shapes on the female COG armor. I'd suggest making the armor generally wider around the waist.
You're definitely on the right track. Keep it up.
Frump you are definitely right. I was mainly referencing Anya's armor from Gears 3. I like the shapes of it but I can see now that the boob compartments probably don't fit him that well haha. Going to try to work on the shape some more before getting him lowpoly'd.

Maybe you should give him a tatoo or something? Idk, I'm just brainstorming some ideas that would really add some more life to this character. You really want to have the armor tell something about the character, and show bits and pieces of stories and events that happened in his gear. If things are too generic then you'll run the risk of making him appear more like an NPC...I know you've got him all baked out and everything, but it might be worth trying.
I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this thread, cannot wait to see more!
Thanks Dark! Definitely need to break him up the symmetry a bit. The arms and pants are the only parts not mirrored over so I can't bang it up too much. I think a tattoo would be a good idea ala Carmine from gears 3. I'm torn a bit between a helmet or going bare for his head. I'm thinking I can make whatever I go with pretty unique to help break symmetry also.
I'm having a lot of trouble with material definition. I'd really like to focus on it for this project so if anyone has some tips I'd really appreciate it! Still a bunch to work on.
So pretty close to calling him done. Need to fix a couple more things still. Any last minute suggestions?
Maybe some more subdivisions to the torn canvas style cloth? Possibly a bit more uneven with the tear too.
Arms seem a tad short, but maybe that's the pose playing tricks on me.
Pronounce some of the veins on the arms more, especially one running up the bicep and running down the forearm (as well as forking outward towards the inner elbow.
Some more colour variation on the actual blue-ish regions, especially the breast plates, looking very flat at the moment.
Looking really solid though, going to be great when it's all together
Jokes aside, looks awesome :P

Keep up the good work here, dood this guy is gonna be EPIC!
I would put more dirt on the back of the jeans, I guess the guy will sit down quite often to rest a bit. Maybe more dirt on the front of the feet too, he runs a lot and kick some stuffs on the road.
without proper specularity and base materials to work from, the asset will just look flat and boring in motion, that's why i'm saying go back a couple steps and get some activity going in those materials!
here is what i mean by defining materials with just flat colors first. notice how the materials all read just fine without any kind of overlays or wear:
I also definitely second what Racer445 said.
Tried working on the materials when I had some time.
The model looks great and the textures are really coming along!
That bust is looking purddddy!! I find giving the ears as much a dynamic shape as possible really helps with the overall look, maybe you could try that
Any suggestions guys?
