Clyptic Wraith King

Clyptic

Currently working on a set for Wraith King. Finished the high poly for the armor, still working on a weapon. The strands of cloth as well as the bottom of the cape will be tattered.

Clyptic

Current progress on the weapon.

Really clean sculpts, love the details.

Clyptic

Thanks

Decided the second guard was not looking right so I changed the design some. (Edited it in the image above.)

Nikey

Sculpt looks cool, but some of this little details will not looks good ingame

Clyptic

@ Nikey, I intend to make the details pop with texturing to compensate that. Also a lot of items have smaller detail that can not be seen in game well. They are for the purpose of marketing and the load out. I don't see it being an issue as long as the weapon reads well in game and does not suffer for it.

Anyway I just realized a possible major issue....I am working on textures at the moment when I remembered Wraith King's head piece falls off when he dies! :poly122:
Is there any chance valve would allow his head to stay on for a specific set? Would be really odd to see his hair fall off.

Edit: It would be really nice if valve had a forum or something to answer these specific type of questions for people creating content.

@Clyptic, you can have a custom death animation and bundle it so it won't fall.

Ah, that's actually a rather simple solution lol. I have yet to mess with custom animations so I didn't even think of it. Thanks

I love how sharp and clean this is, can't wait to see it baked and textured!

Clyptic

Current Wip on the textures. I still need to add the green glow around the neck. Feel free to say if you don't like something.

Reyne

It looks good

I'd love to see it with a bit more gold on the weapon.

waffles.c

That looks stellar dude! loving it.

Silwer

This is shaping up to be an incredibly slick looking set!
Even with wraith kings somewhat awkward colour palette the colours manage to look really nice together.
I think the sword being more "wraith king-coloured" and not using the same bone colour as all old skeleton king swords helps a lot.

My favourite part of it are probably the two cloth pieces wrapping around his right shoulder, subtle but really cool. It balances out the asymmetry nicely too.

quockhanhlk

look awesomeee! cant wait to see this one in game!

GhostDetector

The face of the shoulder look weird with the polypaint. The nose glow looks like a mouth glow to me.

The sword could use some gold too, other than that, it looks great.

aresca

Very cool, I like the special shape of the crown, do the eyes of the pauldron glow in game?

Clyptic

Thanks all

@Reyne Ya I agree, I changed the hilt some to add more gold.

@Silwer I didn't like how small his other shoulder was so I tried to beef it up with the cloth.

@GhostDetector lol I guess you could look at it like that, but I think it looks ok in game.

@aresca Yes as you can see below.


Just about finished with this set. Yesterday when I went to test it in game I noticed they changed the poly limits on 3 of the items quite a bit...Ended up being both good and bad, I'll have to make sure to keep track of the tech page when making another set.
Below are some in game shots. This set was a nightmare, specially the cloak, to get working in game.

Edit: I also had to reduced the shoulder size a little bit do to an excessive amount of clipping.

Clyptic

I am still unsure which color scheme to go with for the sword. Gold reads better, but the Dark silver-green looks better.

GhostDetector

You can upload both and valve can just make it a style item, gold and green styles. Either that or valve will just take one of them in game. You have nothing to lose by uploading both styles. In my opinion, go for the gold. (it breaks the OD-like pallete you have on the blade)

Reyne

It looks great with the gold!

Clyptic

Alright thanks guys. I guess I can agree with that, I just don't like his default color palette. lol

Clyptic

Finished the Set

Maybe you should draw more attention to the eyes with the promo.

I didn't initially because the main focus is meant to be the set. But it does look better.
