Custom Roman Soldier

[Hinckley]

So, here is another torso I designed in Illustrator:

And here he is enhanced with awesome custom pieces from Brickforge.com

I already made a version 2 of this. As I was closing the file in Illustrator, I tweaked it a little. I think the changes I made are cool, but I'll show that later. For now, feedback and constructive criticisms are welcome. Thanks. :-)

The torso looks great, a bit strange in the first pic, mainly because it's a guy in his underpants wearing armour. :-P Kind of like the armour from the 2nd (?) Exo-force wave. But with the Brickforge equipment it looks great! *y* *y*

Not bad at all. Not my area of interest but definitely has the right look. Now he just needs a wristwatch. ;-)

And he's openly handling his oddly round scutum. ;-)

Simply wonderful! :'-)

[zero1312]

Cool, but he looks more like a spartan than a roman. ;-)

[SirNadroj]

Cool! He looks even better with the custom armor! *wub*

I need to get myself some brickforged goods! X-D

[iamded]

So, when were you planning on showing us version 2? :-)

Wowie Zowie! X-O X-O X-O When when when? *wub*

I found paper and some torsos, so here is V.2:

and what really makes this complete are the Brickforge accessories:

Can you tell the difference? I basically made the chest armor more proportional to the rest of the torso. The first version made him seem a little weak in the pec area. I was trying to line his chest up with his biceps at first where a real human's would line up, but a mini-fig is not proportional to a human *wacko* so I like this better. i also adding some shading and, as per babyjawa's advise, switched to a clear decal to see if it looked better and I like it. I forgot to offset the white in the gradient so unfortunately it goes to clear, but I've already fixed that in the file so it won't happen again.

As always, constructive criticism and feedback welcome. Thanks. :-)

[babyjawa]

Hehe, like the clear better, eh? :D Well...I do to. Great job on both Romans, Hinckley! Reminds me that I need to finish mine. :P

Great Job!

[iamded]

There we go, very nice! *y* *y* I was wondering about the change in colour, I reckon this looks better. Great job!

And to Armothe, those are sweet, can't wait 'till they come out! :'-)

I love the helmet and scutum but that pilum's huge! (It is a pilum right?)

Hinckley, the figure your show is more Greek looking, but could of course act as a Roman Hoplite in the 4th century ACN. I love the face, but the torso doesn't quite look complete...

Well, I didn't make the face. What would make it look more complete?
