Legolas_hv - Normal - Jan/Feb

OK, here we go!
The concept is this... a tae-kwon-do dressed man doing a side kick - yop chagi in korean - hehehe... well and with a clasical style look... I'll try his face to be similar to Napoleon Bonaparte as shown in this bust... after a while searching the web for man classic sculptures i've decided to make this guy

Hey and by the way a taekwondo suit looks like this... well depending on the federation, mark etc, but the overall shape is allways the same..

Yeah, college can get in the way of alot of desired leisure time. This comp is a great one and the you get a actual physical model of your work if you win.

I was pulling for you in that last comp. user added image

ok here's the torso and head.
But don't believe I am going that fast... to be honest I made all this the last weekend but now I don't have time and didn't wanted to release all these at the same time user added image
now this is all i got...

THX1138 Some days I really hate the college... but since one of my next projects for it is creating some kind of graphic 3d engine(really poor one anyway)... some days it's cool too

Allo,
It's lookin good so far. The only problem i can see is that the front of his chest is way too flat and the indentation in his lower back is too much. Good work so far though user added image

I like it a lot! Mostly because I participate in the martial arts, but the execution of the modeling is excellent! KUTGW

thanks for your atention!

I played a bit with the face... the other one was too exagerated, I think . Anyway still needs more work i think...

THX1138 and Arran: I miss you too user added image. I'm so sorry but I'm having a lot of exams and i can't spend much time modeling... But don't worry I'll be done for this thursday, and back to work in time to finish this model... It's all in my plans hehehe

wasatch5_sparticus: yo man, I participate too for the last 2 years... TKD orange belt, but will get green soon, I hope so, hehee, need to train a lot for the belt exam, though.
