No wonder R* hates modders so much:  @almico - Tommy is dabbing pretty hard on Timmy "The fast food butcher" Spaghetti! 

Edit. Though, even by itself, that's a very faithful recreation (bar the pearls, I guess). I especially like that you took his slightly droopy eyes and "imperfect" nose into consideration.

My God, you have outdone yourself. Look at that smugness and don'tgiveaf*ckery.

Just add the eye/eyelid asymmetry + slightly more closed eyes and we are good to go.

 

AWESOME

 

PS: Also maybe adapt the corner of the mouth to be less "smiley" and more serious.

Man I gotta say, I'm more exited about this mod then I was about the Definitive Edition

People on reddit are hating on the pearls!

Even thought the wiki literally says golden pearls...

Never mind! can't please everyone. 

I would say, just release both versions, why not?

I would even add alternative textures (I probably gonna make that myself just for fun). You know, different shirts, wooden beads instead of pearls and stuff like that. Heck, maybe even a scar on his face.

 

And if you planning to play around with other outfits, Tony Montana used to wear multiple chains with his suits. Don't know if that would look good with his hawaiian shirt, but just throwing some ideas your way

Now maaaaan this is impressive, I love it, send this to Grove Street Games with your best regards
Just try to improve the beard texture as well as the shirt, maybe make his lips a little more pink and reduce contrast between the chain and the rest

Improving the shirt even more next. Stay tuned homies

 

Then skin work.. lets make this tommy pretty insane with details. I can reduce the textures to fit the trilogy.

Welcome back mate! This looks so good!
You should do CJ and Claude next, I'd like to see your take on those characters

[almico]

Hey DoctorMike, how you doing? I might do!

I already can't believe that just in couple of days you made a much better model AND a much better shirt than R*, with a full team of people that worked on those games for supposedly 2 years... I have no idea how they even approved those models and no one said anything about it lol 

[Ezekiel]

damn, where did that come from 

anyway, when people figure out modding this game, am definitely hopping on train to.

I could do Lance and Ken, you do Auntie.

Holy crap, another great modder is joining in too???
You know... maybe Rockstar f*cking up the models wasn't a bad thing after all.

[almico]

DoctorMike - You guess? PM me buddy lets have a catchup

Piro - Haha thanks.. Who knows, they might have been on a tight schedule. Some people like the new Tommy they created

 

Ezekiel - What's up man, that would be great. Love your mods man, keep it up.

 

iAbokai - We don't know what the game is like just yet.. Let's see what it's like! I'm still looking forward to it a lot!

Here's an update to Tommy... Given him that sculpted hair like Claude's model in the trilogy. Also changed his skin a bit to be more realistic.  Still needs some work but I think it gives a nice shape. 

STILL WIP.. Opinions? I know it moves away from the original model a bit.

Mmm i see you took inspiration from tommy's old concept art, judging by how the hair is covering tommy's forehead a little bit (at least that's what i think, i can't really tell).
I dunno if i like it or not, since it's less accurate to the "swept back" hair style in his final design, i'm gonna need a zoom in on his face to really nail down my opinions on it.
tho i really like what you did with his face and everything else.

Edited October 29, 2021 by iAbokai

[almico]

Hair Needs some texture work but its got that Claude trilogy look imo

[almico]

Ok here's a side by side of the old model. Has it lost the Tommy look? Let me know your opinions as you're all part of this with me. 

[iAbokai]

Oh wow, yeah, the sculpt on that hair looks really really good, tommy definitely looks a lot more handsome now. lol
I think you can remove that strand of hair (or whatever its called) on the side of his forehead if you wanna make his hair even more accurate, tho that's your call.
Everything else looks great.

[Claude_Lib]

Maybe it's the hair, maybe it's the skin tone, I'm not sure, but I feel like the new model looks a bit less like Tommy.

[almico]

I agree, something is less "Tommy like". I'm working it out now, bare with me homies

[Adam Jensen]

I think it's the hair. It's a bit too boyish, perhaps. Maybe it should be slicker?

Yeah I agree, I rly like the new haircut, but I think the old one is more accurate. But both are fine really.
And yeah, he looks less like Tommy now. Not sure if its because of the haircut tho. I think the old eyebrows looked more like Tommy (might be the skin tone as well)

And since you asked for suggestions, as I said your shirt already looks a million times better than DE. But if you really want to go for accuracy:
I was looking closer at the original shirt. I might be wrong but I think you can kinda see a background behind those palm leaves, right? a sunset and the ocean? Its low res and washed up so its hard to tell.



So I think it was inspired by those kind of hawaiian shirts. Maybe you can use that for inspiration:

Spoiler

 

 

edit: And maybe his jeans could be a little bit older, worn out. Maybe a little big longer, more baggy at the bottom?

the one the left, perfect, don't touch it, you nailed it, I can't find a flaw, and trust me I'm pain in the ass when it comes to criticism, your CJ had few back in the day, but didn't want to crap on your topic.

[almico]

I've imported the original model and I'm reshaping the new face, then I'll add some colouration to match the old one which was tommys skin upscaled using ESRGAN. Let's see where it takes us. I have backups so it's worth testing as we might get an even better look
