I've been working on this guy for about a week now, here's a screenshot of my most recent update. He's from the anime "Bleach".. =)
I think i'm basically done with the model itself now.. i need to do textures still, but i'll have to read up and possibly toy with it for a while cuz i've never done it, and I wanna get it right ^^
Later i'll make his Zanpakutou (sword) and clothing as well =)
Please let me know what you think, or if you see stuff clearly wrong with him...
Trying to keep him semi low poly count cause I do have intentions of animating him later =)
For previous and up to date screenshots etc of what i've done check here
actually to tell the truth the guys proportions look smaller than rnjis...renjis a kinda manly guy y'know....he's gotta be somewhere between 8 1/2 to 9 heads tall...haven't really checked it out for sure but that's babbo's genreal impression >_<
If you check the other images you'll see that it's modeled directly from the anime/drawings etc, so sizes should be pretty much correct according to what the original author intended =)

if you count you'll see that the guy is approximately 6 1/2 heads tall (though admitedly it's even smaller since there's a bit of space above the portion babbo cut the head out of, and the red lines in between take that too)
now for real life, 6 1/2 head is pretty normal inface most people are between 6 1/2 heads to 7 heads tall....but in art 8 heads is the standard and I can pretty much assure you with even looking that renjii is within that range >_>
Babbo really doesn't like to knitpick but having the right proportion will defnitely makea huge difference between this models appearance and what renji actually looks like <_<
You need to also take into consideration that his head is abnormally long, thus if you check out my other pictures, his ear is also that way.. but it doesn't mean i'm going to stretch his body to fit his head, when his body really isn't that size ^^
After spending a good portion of the day learning about uv mapping etc and some more skin shader stuff I started to work some more =P
Did a bunch of tweaking to the body/head etc then started working on a tattoo for his forhead, came out pretty nice i think, even though i might have to remap it which is a pain right now, and i'm too tired to redo it right now =P tomorrow maybe.
After doing a bunch of research and quite a bit of time messing around trying to figure out how to duplicate the neck materials then invert the uvw map and THEN figure out how to get them to line up properly.. which i ended up splitting the neck into two sides right and left and using planar selection instead of cylindrical for the gizmo it finally came together =P The tattoo's are actually imbedded into the skin material itself, so it looks somewhat decent ^^
Anyway, here's a couple updated pics.. I still have alot of detailing to do to make him look more like Renji, and if you see things that simply look way off from the anime character himself let me know =)
Hopefully gonna finalize the model soon to something that i can say i'm satisfied with and then start w/the clothing.. Only had max for a little over a week now, so i generally spend alot of time researching rather than workin on the model =(
Cool, Your making a lot more progress but his mouth does look weird in that bottom left pic.....I think its because he has the whole 'surprised' look going on, lol
More ppl should post here, i really wanna see the end results soo don't give up on it, kay?
O_O;; renji looks freaky when hes bald.... not to mention that he looks kinda stunty and his torso looks really freaky and his arms look kinda thin(I mean renji is built but this guy just loks meh as far as being muscular)...but I have no idea about that kinda stuff...just my general impression...anyways it'll porbably look beter witht he shinigami gear...good stuff despite that...
, lol
