Finally..

This took longer than I expected but The Combatant and his first pieces of armor are complete. Now I want him to have a sword, or a pair of swords or something. I'm thinking I should also probably document exactly how this armor is going to be broken up so that it's easy to understand how it's going to work in the eventual  game. I might wait until after the baking tho.

But For now here's The diffuse...

Combatant Modeling Stage complete

It is complete!.. unless someone on polycount points out something terribly wrong. Either way I'm ready to texture! been so long!

The Combatant Progress

He's nearly complete. Still a few more details I'd like to add to the shin guards, like damage and strap details.

I painted this in Photoshop as a guide for an acrylic painting that I gave to Natalie for her birthday. I'll post the actual painting as soon as I gain access to either a big scanner or nice camera. Until then here she is, The Prisoner.

Paldron Update

The First piece of armour is 95 percent in there. I'd still like to add some torn cloth and etch in the designs that were in the concept. Also, I made new hand wraps that match the wrapping at the shoulder because I thought they should be consistent and I liked the new rougher looking ones better. AND I took the detailing of the face a little further as that was a pretty consistent critique.

The Base Warrior

So here is the sculpt for the no armour, bare fighter. I could go on from here to create the game mesh and begin rigging but I think I'd like to make just the few basic armour pieces that were concepted. I also might go on to sculpt in finer details such as veins and finger nails if I can keep them consistent stylistically.

Here's where I'm at with Darkwolf. About to add the clothing finally. This way I"ll only spend time polishing the anatomy that is visible.

Painting Update haven't worked on this for a while but I wanted to add the most recent image.

Gladiator Orthos

Some more angles and a slight update..

Project Vengeance Model

I have started modeling the base character for my game project tentatively entitled Vengeance. The title is a bit of a throw back to one of my favorite fighitng systems from the N64 era. But I'll elaborate as I complete more of the project. For now, the purpose is to create a character that will be the basis for customizing through added armor and possibly color schemes. I'd like to do a few more body types but thats's a long way down the road. The goal right now is just to get to a playable state so I'm really only going to make enough art to get there. Here's the first days work.
