Here is the next illustration for my game I did, it is for the mutant ability alter physical structure metal. Again with my lack of 3D skill I had a lot of head aches trying to make him look metal. I created the metal texture in photoshop, it's not as seemless as I would have hoped, but I corrected any short coming in photoshop as usual. I also made bump maps and reflection maps, which I still don't fully understand how I made them work. Anyway, I used a bladerunner gun, mainly as a design decision. I knew in order to full create the illusion of reflective metal, I would need something, something suttle, to reflect off of him. So I chose the gun, and the pose which allowed for a clear reflection. All in all I'm very pleased with the image. There was so much post work in photoshop that I wouldn't know where to start =). Someone asked if it was pseable, well, yeah, its poseable. I couldnt figure out how to lock the gun into his hand, conforming sent it into his crotch, so i just placed it there carefully and wrapped his hand and fingers around it. I used massive mike, or the normal mike, i forgot, I saved the poser model because I worked on it for a while. I could post the textures and stuff, but they are not professional quality man. The thing that made this image look good was all the post work in photoshop.
