Wake Up Call is a next-generation sci-fi stealth-action shooter with a heavy emphasis on choice-driven gameplay and story in a unique and atmospheric post-apocalyptic world. Wake Up Call tells the story of Kyle Rogers, an ex-special ops soldier who has been awoken after over 150 years of cryostasis sleep. The world went to hell while Kyle slept, and it has been transformed into an alien planet. Experience Kyle’s story through a visceral and intense true first person perspective that allows for heightened immersion and gameplay fluidity. Challenge yourself to beat the game’s smart AI that adds new levels of challenge to the stealth-action genre. And finally immerse yourself in a dynamic and choice-driven story-line that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Wake Up Call will be one epic adventure that any and all sci-fi fans will need to experience.
This is one concept for the resistance group (not giving away names yet) soldiers. We will probably end up with 5-7 of these total, but this is just number 1. Enjoy! And, so you all know, something big is coming very soon; expect a true media update within the week.
PS: We could use someone to make this character in 3D, along with several other characters, apply if you think you can do it with your portfolio to careers@leatharianstudios.com. Thanks!
Looking... evil.
If he's on the enemies side, this would be good.
But i guess he's intended to be allied to the player.
In that case you should avoid something like this gas mask.
Either remove it completly or do a more friendly design which allowes you to see the face.
e.g. only mask the mouth with a breather or do one of these masks with a big transparent visir:

Never create "faceless" Characters unless they're dumb cannon fodder for the player. Gas masks have the tendency to scare ppl anyway.
Good catch, thanks!
I have to disagree here. If the concept evolves to be something more than a generic throwaway NPC (a legitimate role in the story) it can add greatly to break the stereotypical mold and surprise the player. Almost force them out of their expected element.
Faceless characters have their place. Even when they're allies they can keep you guessing, hence their actions having to speak louder than their dialogue to define their place in the world. I don't agree that a "good guy" has to look good, and an antagonist has to look bad. Both merely exist as they do, because they do. It gives even cannon fodder more depth and personality when its composed of non-standard, contradicting elements.
Makes the player think of them as something more than just "Cannon fodder."
Also, as a casual observation. Maybe move the chest pockets? In a real live fire situation, they'd be too hard to get into, and would get in the way of a lot of natural body movements.
Thanks for the feedback, this will be taken into account, I promise.
cool concept. What gun is that?
I honestly do not know, but I already asked the artist that exact question.
A very nice piece of concept art i agree with WNxKraid change the gasmask too as it is making the character look a bit evil. I think a half gasmask or no gas mask or one showing someway of seing the face behind it clearly would go along way to making sure the player knows friend or foe.
It's been noted and is being changed. Apparently there was a mix up and the artist thought it was supposed to be a bad guy, but we will save the mask design for the bad guys when we get to them. Thanks for the input though!
Just one thing if your gonna use the gasmask for a bad guy could you alter the eye holes design a bit atm it looks a bit unnatural possibly even comical.
Noted, thanks!
