I recently finished a game model based on an old concept by Joe Madureira. I have no idea what this character's name is, but it's from a game called, Dragonkind (I don't think it was ever finished or released). I thought he looked really cool. You can check out the concepts here: http://www.joemadfan.com/gallery.html?p17_sectionid=15

Here's my model and wireframes/textures:




Diffuse only painted model. Poly count is a little generous, but I wanted to see what I could do with modeling out shapes where possible. I'm calling the model done because I'm tired of working on it, but welcome any feedback on it.

EDIT: Check him out animated at: http://issamz.com/. It's the 3rd clip in the latest demo reel. Animation by friend and former coworker, Issam Zejly.

I really love it!
I have one suggestion though. Have you tried sharpening the diffuse a little bit? It looks a little blurry atm. It might be the render though.
Also, the eyes aren't very defined. Maybe make the white whiter and the black blacker, if you understand what I mean?

Great job on this!

Beautiful work, I remember seeing the concept art it was based from a long time ago and when I first saw this model I thought it was just a picture of that until I saw the rotations.

Very nice! I really like the way you captured the concept and an artistic, soft feel of it overall. I also thought the 3d render was the 2d concept!
