Stealth - Character Design

[Scoshi]

Hi, Im trying to design a character for a game where their prime activity is stealth.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Dont know whats your "want to haves" but i cant see anythink missing so i keen on watching some further pics. Now its seems very flat but thats your state of working...looks good so far. really!

The actual design looks cool (im really into stealthy characters), but i already see some flaws:

For one, your characters belt is way too low. It kinda looks like hes "sagging"

Another thing i noticed is that he looks...well.......Kinda fat. Not that theres anything wrong with that, but Stealthy characters are usually slim (light wieght) so they can become faster, more agile, and walk silently.

Also, stealth type characters dont like leaving any traces behind. Thus them wearing black gloves when there on missions so they dont leave any fingerprints behind. That really has nothing to do with anatomy, just trying to give you some tips on making it more realistic.

One last thing...I think that if he was to zip up that mask completely, he would possibly run out of breath and die from lack of oxygen...dont know what you wanna do with that, just pointing it out.

Anyway i like the design, just keep messing with it...

I like the picture, just not for it's purpose. The guy seems a bit big to be a stealth guy, his suit seems very restricting and large. Try something tighter? You don't want clothes rubbing against eachother to make any noise. That, and drop the cross-bow. I forgot what game it was, but I recall seeinga girl with a crossbow and it just does'nt make any sense. A guy using stealth can get rid of bullet casings easil enough, but cross bow bolts are different .

Still, like I said, I enjoy the actual drawing itself.
