Geat Warrior
Hi, I'm going to be posting my wips and later final image of my project here which is going to be a realistic viking warrior/ Geat warrior. Please feel free to comment, criticises and post links to references that you believe can help me throughout this project.
I plan to adapt the lowpoly for the new consoles in terms of resolution and polycount, I've only done some light googling on this so please share what you know on that part as well
Starting with my early and final base mesh.

Killer detail on the top of the helm though. The folds around the belt are excellent too.
I experimented a lot with creating a chainmail and using zbrush mircomesh was the least painful method I found, got some weird error tough. The circular dents are supposed to be hammer marks left from the blacksmiths hammer, but now when I look at them they're a bit small:/

Going to create hair cards for the lowpoly so the sculpted hair is just to set the feeling right.
You seem to have gotten most things spot on accuracy wise, but if you are after anymore reference, get your hands (eyes?) on the movie 'Beowulf & Grendel'.
Pretty good movie, and very accurate armour and weapon props, made by armourers who specialised in Vendel/Viking age gear.

(it appears the whole movie is available on youtube too...)
Would really like to see what your workflow/process was building this, that helmet is amazing, and the detail on your chain armour is astounding... gonna make any tuts outta this project??
Final highpoly sculpt, hope you guys like it
Hope the movie can provide some entertainment/inspiration. If you do get the time to record some of your workflow, I'd be most grateful, your work is amazing!
So good!
Here's a few decent ref shots you might want to start with:
A lot of the changes could be done simply with the move and transpose tools to some degree so you won't have to sacrifice a vast amount of the detail work you've already done. Hopefully that wasn't too harsh but I feel that the rest of the models quality far exceeds them and they should be brought up to the same level before you call the sculpt complete.
Thanks also for the references and no worries, be harsh everyone!
Found this site about killzones nextgen specs: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars-314159282/tech-specs-of-killzone-sf-and-crysis-3-character-m-29419004/
Still got the head and hands to convert into lowpoly but my full character will be about 40k triangles.
Feel like the lightning changes so much when I switch sky in marmoset 2, hard to get the right specular and gloss ammount on the diferent materials.
