Heres my final render (in Zbrush) I learned a lot during this project, about modeling and Zbrush techniques. Overall I'm very optimistic about how this turned out and I will definitely be continuing this guy.  

On the eve of having to turn it in and present, heres the final progress update. Still have a ton of stuff to due but its becoming more polished by the minute. Excited to finish!

YIKES! Gotta finish, GO GO GO

This project has turned into an anatomy study/facial study/clothe study/armor study....I have so much more to learn! its amazing though, I feel like I've learned a ton.

UPDATE:
Finished sculpting the head. He turned out a tad bit older than I originally wanted, but it works for his character desgin.

Retopologized the face. WOO! AND ITS BAKED :D

Starting the Sculpt

First couple hours into it. Just getting basic proportions down. 

Refined the body, sculpted majority of the face. Next step retopo!

Concept art for the character, starting with rough thumbs.
