Drake Shield wip

Kyuzo

Good day people,
after looking around wip threads i found wanderfull shields concept.
So here we are going



initial concept:


it's a wip, but drakes are close to be called done for me, any critics always welcome

Kyuzo

Want to call high poly done for now:


Will be appreciated for any useful advices/references for good handle

LRoy

Looks good! If you want to take it a bit further can check out the way this guy handled his holdeen armor.

Hey ! Well I'm a little late to say that but I think you should make it look a little more "hard", it looks more like clay than metal at the moment ^^.

The baking seems good. You should correct the white gaps in the darker regions of the AO...

Kyuzo

Hey, thank you for response, had no time to work on this piece for a while, i did few ajustments in highpoly, hopefully they made model look better

Here are what i end up with at this moment:


for some reason i don't like how allshiny it looks like, but don't know where to push it, texturing isn't my strongest side

Kyuzo

Probably have to call this done

Deforges

You really lacked reference op.

2Deforges: haha, it was really hard to understand your joke, since i didn't knew this person before.

To practice more materials decided to create one more shield from same concept:

wip:


Probably have to tweak proportions a bit.

Have to say, ZRemesher is a gift of the gods, tested it couple different ways to do hardsurface, just wonderful
