Hello everyone, My name is Alvaro Gasco, I´m from Spain and i´m 24 years old. I did this character during my studies at the vancouver film school last year (2005). It is done in XSI 4.2 and photoshop.
The design of the character was inspired in a story I had in mind, He is a corrupted police officer that has become a mobster from some dark city in east Europe.
After the design of the character, I started modelling it using reference of people like the actor John Goodman, very similar to the kind of anatomy i was looking for.
Then, when I had the anatomy and proportions almost done I started adding the gear, like the gun holder, the gun, shoes, and gold stuff.
