[Mixamo Contest] Sword and Shield Knight

nickolasnm

Hello There,

Just joined Polycount so I could start a thread about my mixamo character that im working on. I chose the sword and shield character. I've finished the humanoid body and I've started concepting in Zbrush. I dont have any conceptart for this so I guess I'll have to see where this goes.

Hello everyone. I havent been able to work too much on this becuase of work.My hours are insane.

The previous design wasnt coming out too well so I decided to change everything. I still have a few things to finish here and there. Im seriously thinking about changing the helmet (way too big.):

progress so far:








I also created a lion head that I'll be putting on the belt and shoulder areas.

Love the new design, looking great so far.

Finished this yesterday:



I'll add a few cuts and stuff here and there

I love your lion sculpt, but I think it'd be a bit much to have it in so many places with no apparent variation.

crazythisguy

Moogart

hmmm, that is true. Though I did kind of change it a bit in the sword and sheild. The shield lion has whisker pores and the sword doesnt because it wont be needed. I might just add the lion to the belt buckle and thats it.

Thank guys!

Yeah it's better now. You should add something between the pauldron and the shoulders, some protection. Pauldrons look too thinh and floating.

Thanks. I thought about that, I'll have to try and see. I tried thicker armor and it doesnt look good.

nickolasnm

Still trying out new pauldron ideas. I think I know what im going to do now.

Yeah I know =/ It just look so "empty" on the backside so I decided to add those in there...kind of simple and out of place but i have to roll with it i guess. Thanks for your comment.
