as of now i only have the incomplete model, im working in 3dsmax, and i am hoping to have it done within the week. i will also construct him a custom saber in the form of the soul reaver blade.

feel free to crit it as you wish, i know it still needs wings...im working on that atm.
if anyone could teach me to skinmap that would be awsome.
my msn is: mentalmanofthefuture@hotmail.com
you can catch me on aim at: rocknrollups

Your going to have a hard time fitting that to a skeleton. It needs to be in a davinci pose as per the humanoid skeleton.

Well, keshire is right, the model is kinda disproportionate. You should looks at this incredible reference pictures at www.thelostworlds.net) .

I'm making a reaver Raziel myself if you wanna take a look:

The polycount is a little high though, cuz it was not intended to make it into a game, but be part of a CG movie.

I was going to say that it looked pretty damn awesome...

Depending on how many polys that is you should try to get a low poly version in game. Do you have a low poly version or did you model it in high poly only?

damn....ur good...care to teach me?

It's like 6740 polys, aproximately, maybe more, maybe less. And frankly, I'm not planning to make a lower poly version of it, perhaps someone else would like to.
The second Raziel, the reaver, is gonna make it in a few games.

Almighty_gir, I'll be glad to teach you how to use the tools, or how I plan my modelling b4 starting. But I believe you're very familiarized. Mine was just a proportions and pose advice, not a modelling.
