New rant model; WIP. inspired by +OPTIMUS'+ work.

[{7}wrath]

This definitely wont be used ingame as is, and only maybe if i retopologize it. Whats the average polycount for a tremulous model?

Been distracted with mapping recently ._.
I'm fighting the perception of melted chocolate, trying to crisp up the edges a bit.

[your face]

much better!  side/front view?

[{7}wrath]

Very little change in terms of side veiw:

And all I did in front view was ruin those perfectly good armor plates:

[Asvarox]

Now legs look kickass, but it has hump on the back. Also, I <33333 his smile

[CreatureofHell]

Looks great now! Needs textures!

[UniqPhoeniX]

Very nice!

[Ellohir]

I don't like the thing in the arm, everything else is almost finished to me.

[+ OPTIMUS +]

legs and back is cool, also the face!
upper body and arms should be more segmented?... eeeerrr... choppy?.....less chocolate yes :-)

[mooseberry]

Nice work so far, if you're near done, I would advice on perhaps adding some more detail to the top and back of the head.

[{7}wrath]

A chocolate tyrant! 
What do you all think of these new plates?

[Repatition]

yum yum can i have one!

[mooseberry]

The neck and pectorals look to human-like for me.

[{7}wrath]

modified the pecs. crits appreciated.

[Repatition]

body area to tall

[CreatureofHell]

Looks great!!! 

[{7}wrath]

Still working on the neck & chest area to make it more alien.

[your face]

Wow nice.  It looks like The Über-rant!

[Demolution]

Accentuate segments more maybe?

[Steely Ann]

Current incarnation is pretty dreamy (wait, what?).  The chest plate almost
seems out of place to me in the last pic, but everything else I can get behind.
Kudos.

[mooseberry]

When you texture this boy I think it will really become even better, as it will allow you to clearly see where there is armour, and where simply skin.

How about some rounded armour plates around the arms - something like those on overflow's goon/rant hudmodels? My thoughts were that it'd need some substantial muscles to move those slashers, but adding muscle structure would make the arms look too human, whereas the rounded plates give a very "beefy" look while maintaining an alien appearance.

More work on the neck:

And started some plates on the arms, as requested.

[seeeker]

I want zbrush nao....

It's rather costly, but if you can afford it, go for it! It has got to be the most elegant way of making 3D models that I know of.

He looks like he is saying "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"

I'm going to add teeth, hopefully that will dispel the impression of lulz.

Moar work on chest, back, and neck:

[Archangel]

his back reminds me of nutella spread on something
