Okay, to reply to Storytellers Edited post;
Quote: "Ok....I have some C&C and I am sorry, that it's not very enthusiastic..
First, to me he looks like he's wearing shorts and legwarmers "
Well I was really not sure what to say to that as I really couldnt see what you meant and it was also quite late where I am. My apologies for the harsh reply.
Anyways, Ill ask you to wait till the guy is textured and then decide... that way you can get a more clear view
Quote: "In addition, personally I would prefer plain clothing (uniform or not) without knee- and ellbowcaps, because it makes the character more universally usable and easier to retexture."
Thats a great idea, I will most probably make a plain version of the character too (time permitting). If I am unable, i can always release it as an update to the pack later
Quote: "Also it's outdated since WW2 to wear a knife at the hip and at the front of the tigh (new model) he's in danger of ramming himself the grip into the body when kneeling down."
LOL, good point, never thought of that
Anyways, where would it be a better place? Should I put it on the chest (well on the armor thats going to be there), or should I put it lower down the leg?
Quote: "What I do like are the general proportions and the gloved hands"
Well that's a bit disappointing, but thanks!

Quote: "Here is some advice that my 3D art teacher told me. "No matter how good you think your work is, when someone says it sucks or something is wrong with it, it sucks or something is wrong with it" I know that seems harsh, but it's very true. I'm sying this because you seem to be taking this kinda willy-nilly. You'll improve more and faster if you listen to other people. However the thing about leg warmers is probly just because it isn't textured."
Ouch... well okay, maybe I wasnt receptive to crit in that one particular post, but are you really implyign that I never take crit?? Pardon me for respondign a bit harshly to a post that i didnt understand at 1 AM at night.
And in what way am i taking this willy-nilly? Sorry, but if you guys dotn want to characters just let me know... Im not making them out of some selfish intent here.
Quote: "That aside, I think they look really good, much better than my first characters (but I didn't follow a tutorial). the hips on the female are kinda small though...it looks more like a guy with boobs because of that. Either that, or her waist is really thick."
Well thank you. Neither did I on the Male soldier... Only for the head. And I modeled most fo the female character on my own too, just needed soem help on making the arms look feminine. And the waist is like that because there is a belt lol. i am yet to add pouches and some detail to it, so again, you will be able to see it better when it is textured.
And I was serious about not including the models... if you guys arent happy with it, Im really not inclined to include it lol
Cheers,
