Had to continually re-shrink and then cut and paste the lower half of the body. A real pain trying to paint the outline of the legs without an upper body present. This file really is too damn big for me to treat it as a full body portrait.
The armor is slowly starting to come in. I'll be keeping most of this picture loose since I need this coming week to work on other projects.

That looks so awesome 
That stinks that you have to keep separate files

Yeah, the computer doesn't like it when I try working on a 30K pixel canvas. Chopping the anatomy into segments and working "blind" is really the only way I can work with this.
Cubeupload decided it didn't want to live anymore, so I'm just supplying an attachment file.

Whoa, that looks totally epic. Very, very awesome! I love the armor you created for it; gonna echo both of you on this one, and hope for something similar in GW2.
Although it would have to be for female characters too, I dislike playing males.

Males aren't so cool as females. Females look good in everything and males really don't. :P
I'll probably only make one male Charr in GW2 though.

Eh, I think males look just as good as females. :P Some things fit males much better than females anyway. I just think they weren't done very well in GW, too bulky and big.
If they fix that in GW2, I might make a male character just to try it out.

*jaw drops* Holy crap...I want to run and stare at it at the same time.
Decisions, decision
As for males in GW. I love male rangers that's it

That is so effing awesome.
Also, as far as male characters in GW go, male Mesmers aren't bad either

Holy crap, Charlie, that is amazing. o_o I could definitely see you making it as a concept artist.
As for male characters... I kind of like Dervishes, but Mesmers and Elementalists have the best choices for faces.

I'd fear a badass female more than a badass male, to be honest... Except maybe Charlie - that armor is beyond "badass". You've gotta love that mask. =P

*droools* Awesome charlie.
Loving the palette of this one. And damn, some parts are so sharp! Like the piece of armor that is protecting his manly parts (well its a little bit above it I guess), just amazing.
Few things that bother me this far. I think his legs are a bit too short, its such a powerfull pose, I think taller legs would make it even more powerfull. That is if it does not resemble yourselve anymore, otherwise you gotta stick to your own bodyshapes. The other thing is his chest armor, the plating seems a bit weird, but perhabs you haven't finished it yet. 3rd thing that bothers me is that its not finished yet. FINISH IT! D:

Jeez, what's with all the male character hate? Haha. I'll probably be making my main War in GW2 a human male. But with all the cool new races and designs, I'll definitely be using more female characters this time around.
@Raven: Stand still long enough and Iron just might make it over there to ring your pants.
@Tzu: <3 Though what's XP proportions?
@Verene: Male mesmers have some of the coolest armor in the game. Yes, a few of the sets are kind of "marching band gay" as someone said. But the pimpin' fancy clothes they have outweighs all of the cons. Personally, I wish the GW1 Ele armor was more like the Mesmers.
@Drel: Thanks, glad you like it. I hope there will be some cool helmet designs that use the Oni mask design.
@The layered collar is what probably seems off about the chest. In the last WiP, it's not correct perspective wise. I saw that it wasn't positioned properly last night, but was too tired to fix it, lol.
And the legs are definitely a bit short. That was one of the problems I ran into when trying to draw the lower half of the body without having the upper torso to compare proportions.
Lastly, the "armor protecting his manly parts"...
That is a good cod piece.

I don't hate males either, but like Ravenhawk said, they're just a little too bulky. Assassins, rangers, paras and necros weren't that bad though, but I guess I got too used to playing a female to create a male. :P

And the "bulky" issue might be resolved in GW2 from what I understand. IIRC, there's going to be an option that can control the "thickness" of your char.

Yeah you can modify your characters very detailed, so I've heard. That's pretty neat in my oppinion.
If you make your Original Character in GW2, does that mean Anet will own it then? ;o

I don't hate males, either, but they're fairly bulky, especially the warriors. I just play female characters because I'm a female, but it would be nice if more of the males were "athletic" rather than "body builder".
Can't wait until Guild Wars 2 lets us do some more in-depth customization~ I might actually make a male.

I only play female characters because I have a "gotta get them all" mentality with armors and I like most of the female armor designs better
though I did briefly have a male Mesmer for PvP (though he got deleted...in favor of a female Mesmer...so my boyfriend and I could play through together. He also plays a Mesmer. We like Mesmers a lot XD)

All the ladies will be staring at my sugar lumps.
@Verene and Drel: I also wouldn't mind a more athletic look for the Warrior class instead of having them all with a bodybuilder physique. So long as the customization doesn't get out of hand like that of Aion, I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Drelias Melaku
I've never played Aion, so I don't know what the customization is like. :s Even if they give us several preset body sizes, I'll be happy...
frostkisses
Not sure what you mean by out of hand in Aion. I didnt play past beta (bored), but I rather liked the amount of customization
And Charlie, I think all the ladies are already staring at your sugar lumps lol

I saw some screenshots of what that game's customization menu was capable of. Some of them were walking abominations that were cursed by God.
@Frosty: I certainly hope my sugar lumps aren't visible with all that armor on.

lol but if you wanted to play as an abomination, you could
as for your armor...does nothing when the ladies have...errr...XRAY VISION! -.-

I played the Aion beta and found that unless you were trying to make something really out there, 99% of characters wound up looking like clones anyway.

@V: Ah, I guess abominations are somewhat better than a game full of clones. But I just hope that the GW customization won't allow "toothpick attached to a basketball" proportions.
Aaaaand, getting closer to being done. One of my hard drives almost ran out of space because of these things. I still need to add in a wee-bit of a background element, and also change the angle of the armor on the front-right thigh.
I'll be changing the armor around a bit after I shrink this down. I really like the polygonal chain-mail idea, so I wanted to use that to keep this from looking too much like samurai armor.
Ravenhawk
Damn frikkin epic Charlie. Is he gonna be holding something? I forget if you showed it already and just hid the layer for now.
You should also commission Koreena to make that costume for you. Then wear it at the presentation

In this, he won't be holding anything - just shaking his fist angrily at you. This saves me a significant amount of money. When I'm doing the smaller version, I'm going to extend his arm out to the side.

Wait, why would getting rid of the weapon save you money? Unless you really plan to cosplay it as well? XD
That's one really angry fistshake. *cowers*

What weapon do you intend on using? Some katana like sword? Perhabs you could stick it onto your belt or something. Loving the armor so far. And omai $65 dollar isnt cheap. You print it for youself or you have to print it for school?
Drelias Melaku
O, wow, that is expensive to print. D: I agree with Tommy - maybe you could add a smaller weapon to the belt. It's still very intimidating without the weapon, though.
KiyaKoreena
That would look awesome as cosplay.
Maybe some sort of fancy dagger?

LOL, i was thinking same thing as Raven... that's one serious fistshake! Now I have a visual if you ever decide to post *fistshake* anywhere D:
