Concept sketches

#41 Frozen 'Ice Men' that have been found, were all well groomed.

Hair/beard styling has always had cultural significance.

The re-enactments you see with dirty proto-humans with scraggly hair, probably isn't that accurate.

If you look at footage and photos of actual primitive/tribal peoples you'll see that people in all walks of life tend to 'dress their best.' Paint, tattoos, clothing, jewelry, all bear levels of sophistication that we don't normally see in pop culture films and re-enactments

But in the end, you're making a game. you can create any kind of world you want. :)

#42 I agree with you Jack. I've been doing research myself and have found that the "shaggy primitive" is a hold over from the turn of the last century. This opens some wonderful doors for design given the materials available etc. I will be taking a stylized approach to the design and focus on a target audience of between 10 - 16 year olds (both genders). What will be interesting is balancing accuracy and game play but I'm up to it I think (hope) :)

After a hiatus of a few months while I worked on other projects, I'll be ramping this one up again and seeing it through to final release. I'll be posting a new blog shortly and all feed back is as always, very welcome :)

Cheers

#43 Definetly looks awesome. Good topology, and great textures. it really makes the model so much nicer looking.
