Ok nothing to see here yet, but i really dig the Playermodels and thought id give it a shot to bash them.
Looking for ideas for parts, especially headsculpts.
Here are some pictures and screenshots.
First we have Francis and Zoey:


and next Bill and Louis:


now some more detailed ingame screenshots:








As you can see they are fairly generic survivors.
Bill, the Vietnam Era Green Beret.
Francis, the Rocker/Biker Guy
Zoey, the tough Girl
Louis, the Accountant?
or something along the Lines.

To get the mood going here is the opening cinematic:

Sooo now we come to the tough part, i need parts for all the figures.
Bill:
As far as the Gear goes that should be fairly easy, ACE Nam BDU, Green Beret, Jungle Boots, done. As for the Head i was thinking of using the Hero Heads Sean Connery?

Francis: will be the most difficult with the Tattoos, as for clothing, best option seems like the Saturday Toys Biker Set, Cut of the Sleeves of the Jacket, and body wise, maybe a modified Jakks 12" Wrestler?

Zoey: Aside from the PMC Babe Jeans and Belt im pretty much out of ideas :(

Louis: Should be Easy, white shirt, black torn pants, red tie?

Lets hear your suggestions, the horde is coming :wink

Check the screenshots, thats how he looks in the final version, with Beard and Cigarette.
THe bigger pics are a little outdated but i thought i include them anyway.

Wink, yes i took the screenshots myself using the Demo Version.

As for the MedPacks, those are the least of my worries. Biggest problem is that i cant paint sculpts, so i need something pretty close, i can add a little paint here and there to get a better result but cant sculpt from scratch :(
same with clothes, modify , but not scratchbuilt.

Okay cool, I wasn't sure which was new and which was not. I can't paint either so I feel your pain. If it makes you feel better I have been looking for something that would work for the Zoey character. I swear I have seen a pink shirt like hers, but I can't remember where. I will let you know if I have any luck.

As for the tattoos I think you might get away with a bit of drawing with a fine sharpie pen. His tattoos seem to be the standard biker fair and so shouldn't require too much work as long as you aren't trying to recreate them exactly. Of course I again have no art skill so I might be full of it in my thinking.

I think i have the Grey Zipper Hoodie from the PMC Babe somewhere....if i remove the Hood and make a collar out of it, and dye it red it might turn out ok.
At least that way i know it fits tight on the Female Body and even has the right length, showing some of the shirt underneath.

I went and found what I think were the original characters, Looks like they only changed the two of them. I like the original Francis and Louis dude better. What do you guys think?

Been playing the 360 demo and its pretty fun.

I think Original Louis looks good, but the final version brings a bit more color into the group.
Original Francis wasnt bad, but he doesnt look like he could run very well :D
Zoeys Outfit looked a bit cooler before with the striped stockings/socks:

I love this game! Working on the foursome myself. Used the ACI "Connery" head too, it's perfect for Bill! Got most of the other gear either in boxes or at the Nor Cal show, where I picked up "Louis" (DML Roscoe) and Zoey (although I thought she had brown hair for some reason?! Damn! Got parts for Francis on the way. Looks like he's wearing black denim jeans...whaddya think? First I thought leathers, then I think it's jeans.

A buddy gave me the perfect jacket for Zoey, just have to add the white parts. Tooo much fun!
