Merc -finished!!

[element54]

Ha ha, the pocket protector and pens should be on the left breast. :D

Anyhow, like vega said, i have faith in your artistic direction and it is obvious that you have just started with the moddeling so there is no reason to think the actual merc is going to look like mario or something.

gas mask will be detachable...(it already is)

I think i can get away with showing some skin -the texture stage will be critical to getting this looking right.

I am trying to go half way between both paintings. Its still a WIP so minor design changes will be in order -especially the pouches.

I want the guy to look muscular under the armor...skin helps for that.

added an update of the modelling stage...see the first page

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Nice... I want to see him without the gasmask ;D

[Overstatement]

Is he wearing shorts?

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Seems so.

[hughie21]

I don't know if those are shorts or just a different kind of pants. It sure doesn't look like he's wearing shorts from the front view.

That Merc looks ALOT better that the first, nice job.

[Bionic-Blob]

ofc he's not wearing shorts..

unless he has extremely fat legs

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Kebab is he wearing shorts or what?? and where do the kneepads hold, i don't see any straps...

[Khasim]

I think he's not wearing shorts, and his kneepads are linked to his pants somehow and the straps are under the pants.
BTW Hey everyone  ::)

I like it for the most part....besides the shorts.  Those are definitely shorts.  With the shorts - the whole bad ass aura is ruined in place of a rent-a-cop.

I'd say rent-a-soldier but whatever....
EDIT:LoL my connection was f*cking up this day....

[Vega]

total newb, kok4, total newb...

[goodkebab]

they are not shorts at all....those are seams that i modeled and the pads are sewn into the fabric

[Gawain]

hahahaha these shorts look so awesome  ;D
why do you take all this so seriously? this game isn't a realistic approach, and i really think shorts are so damn roflmao i will have a good time every time i see a merc ^^
