SS 2084- character

[darkcult]

Just an experimental character design that is kind of a shit and I lost enthusiasm to push it any further …

Looking for some feedback,
so C&C more than welcome…

I like the mask he's wearing. It's not quite clear it's a flame thrower though. Maybe if we saw the canister on his back it would read better?

wou... nice design! i like the face too.. great!:chug: yeap.. agree with Tedsuo about the weapon.. it's nice though!

Agree with tedsuo on the flame trower... it looks a bit like my vacumcleaner. you could make a tiny bluish flame at the end of it, and that could cast some cool higlights on the mask...

the mask is really really cool, even if I thin it is ti close to the face or like he has no nose.

I like it, and I think it is worth finishing, if not see it as a job you don't like but that you have to do cause your boss needs asap.

oh one more thing. Nazis where a bunch of assholes, but they had some really good designers behind them so they could have all kinds of medals and insignias. Do some research, and come up with some medals of your own.

I like this pic.I do agree witj the others though about the flame thrower.
I think maybe if you just added a pilot flame to the bottom of the barrel it would be enough to give the right impresion.
Good work though

Mmmm... it reminds me too much to Major Maxim, a character from Danger Girl comics, the mask the rubber tubes, the hat... mmmm :confused:

Thanks----:chug:--Tedsuo, chao, R_M, syco26, TOPO

Yeah, for the mask I went for insect like design and the initial idea was that behind the mask is not really a human at all…
Thanks for the cool ideas – looks like it is going to be a team work after all- ;) (you and me, he he)

P.S. Major who???

Any more thoughts or comments--> welcome of course.

Most flame throwers i have seen have had an extended barrel. I think it would be rather hot holding a "pistol" type flame thrower, like you have illustrated here.

I like the whole character design though. The jacket, head/mask, and hat.

Keep em coming...

I like this very much, too. Great concept and execution. I agree with the crits tho, you can push this a little farther with some research. When you're designing the fuel tank, will it be pressurized gasoline or napalm, or is it some kind of compressed liquid gas like propane? Is it going to be a realistic size or twice as big as the guy carrying it?

it reminds me of the firemen in Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451" --the guys who organize the book burnings.

I look forward to more!
