destro 0.6

i chose to model destro, the arms dealer from g.i. joe.  i knew he had a metal face, which looked really cool.  research on wikipedia revealed that this was a metal mask that he wore.  so he's human underneath it.

modeling a fictionalized character is a two-edged sword: there's no official look for him, so it was difficult (impossible) to find a standardized model.  but that also means that i had some artistic license in how my model would look.

i found a variety of references:

these last two actually became my goal.  it's a seriously awesome looking mask (for nerds who really want to have their own, although it was never produced due to low pre-order numbers) that both looks human-ish but also definitely steel.

ultimately, this is what i want my model to look like.

i'm not there yet....
