Head gear - advice needed.

Kandolo · 2004-05-31T06:37:42

Okay, so I'm building a character for my next game project. Here's a quick sample pose. Now, I modelled everything except the head (Yes, I -can- and have modelled plenty of heads, but I decided to take a shortcut this time around!). Even though I modified it quite a bit, I still want the character to have some sort of head gear that will obscure his face in some way (doesn't have to completely cover) or at least de-emphasize the face. About the outfit/pertinent story elements: The game is roughly sci fi, without an emphasis on technology. The main character is the only human within this planet. The protaganistic species are a set of "priest" like creatures. The outfit he wears is essentially the alien's robes slightly modified (pants ;p). I don't want him to wear a helmet, nor does a normal "hat" seem appropriate in this situation. So, any ideas? [edited by - Kandolo on May 25, 2004 8:51:19 PM]

Thanks for all the constructive comments!!! I''ve been doing more tweaking based on what you all said... I''m also probably going to completely re-model his legs since they, admittadly, are a bit poorly modelled.

I redid the boots too so they don''t look like sketchers any more

(In my defence tho... they were more detailed in the upper regions but they got covered up by the pants... and if I had the pants high enough to see ''em... he looked like he had high waters on

)

These boots aren''t that great either, but they are a bit more generic and of a bit better shape. Beyond that... the boot detail won''t ever be seen that much so I''m not going to sweat it too much.

Another update... Made new pants and added some stubble, along with some other minor changes...

Looks like he''s improving nicely, but I''m not a big fan of the hat, either.
Have you thought of a long pony tail, maybe wrapped in some material that matches part of his outfit?

Perhaps a sort of filter mask? Eg: the atmosphere on the planet doesn''t completely agree with his lungs, so he has to filter something out?

Actually, I like the hat. Reminds me of Indy. This guy has to be a blast to watch fight.

Boots look better now

Looking sweet! I agree about the hat, it kicks ass. The character is progressing very well! In that last render it looks like you gave him a five o clock shadow, I think that it works well somehow(if your going for that kind of look anyway).
