Hey after seeing some eagle themed entries thought it would be nice to have a snake inspired set too.

so here is a spear and helmet sketch.


Still feeling the drain of the other contest in the bones so updates will probably come in slow (or never =P)

Nolt

The reason there are a lot of Eagle sets is because the Mason's banner is of an eagle. And then a Lion for the Agatha. I like the snake though.

audi100

ahh i see, thx for clearing that up. Probably makes more sense too have this for the agatha side then. Played the game quite some hours but that never occured to me, guess was to focused on smashing those heads in

Welcome to the competition.
I randomly saw this image today and when I saw this thread I thought you might be inspired by it.
Not sure how much real use you will have of it. But it looked cool haha

Noth

Dude, if torn banner let me wear a serpent guard helm from stargate I would flip out. Love the designs in there, and the show.. Pretty far fetched though for Chivalry though I think. haha.

Some Dynamesh fun for helmets and shortbow + zweih

Magicspook

looks great! only thing is that the sword just isn't a zweihander.

you see, many people think a zweihander is just a big sword it isn't. if you grab a random sword and enlarge it, you won't get a zweihander. what about the ricasso, the double crossguard, longer blade in comparison to the hilt, heavyer pommel?

Think about these things! it will make your work seem much more realistic!

audi100

Thanks a ton for pointing out the things that were wrong with the sword. did not even realize that something like a ricasso exists .
Tried to adjust the proportions, also the pommel got smaller, when looking at references it actually is not that big for those swords. Guess the overall mass of the handle and crossguard is enough to balance it out.

My favourite is the middle on, the blade is probably not very realistic but i think it just look nice.


Also high and lowpoly for the helmet with a first texture pass.

Nolt

Looking good. I really like all the blade designs. The last one sticks out to me being like a very large kris, which is cool. But I think the first would be my first choice if you were going with something a little more realistic. Don't let that stop you though, get creative

JO420

Really cool looking work so far.

audi100

Thanks JO420 and 9thknight. Last blade is actually copy pasted from a ispanic zweihander, some pretty crazy designs they had going on in the medieval times .

Update on sword and archer helmet.

audi100

oi, zbrush update on sword + overpaint for potential look of textures.

Nolt

Nice! I like your color choices for that paint over

audi100

Thanks 9thknight.

Got the stuff into the engine thanks to the tutorials . Probably going to make the breathing holes/swirls a bit larger make them extend more around the helmet. Some more texture polishing and Blood Mask and calling this a day.

Nolt

Looks great! Nice job

audi100

Thanks for the ongoing support 9thKnight

Calling it done!
unless you spot anything awkward. Maybe the whole thing is awkward but not much i can do about that (except make another hopefully better item).

Nolt

Looks great! The only thing I might do is make both a bit shinier. I think that would help pop the details from the normal map a bit more.

audi100

Just submitted to the workshop. -> http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=319219367&searchtext=
Tried to make things a bit shinier too, think it looks a bit better now.

audi100

Hello, after receiving feedback from the workshop that the helmet is not quite up to par with the quality/look of the sword decided to work on it further.

So here is a overpaint what i want to change.

Will get rid of a lot of the yellow parts, split it up in more plates with bolts connecting them. Tried to incorporate some of the swords design to tie it together ,especially for the backside of the helmet. Also incorporated the agathian cross and some smaller crosses for the breathing holes (that might change tho not totally satisfied with those yet).

Zelfit

But is there any way to re-upload it?

audi100

hmm good point does not seem to have that option, guess have to delete it and than upload as a new thing.

jackalope

I like most of your design changes, though it's a shame that you are getting rid of forked tongue on the helmet that was my favorite part

Syros

super cool \m/

audi100

@jackalope: Thanks man, got the split tongue back into the helmet.

@Syros: Thx

Got the changes done. Think the texture turned out much better this time, less noisy and the metals seperate better. Thanks to the one who mentioned that pressing L is for moving the light. Much easier to present the specular this way.

Now off to redoing all the presentation material.

jackalope

Undeniably better. Nice job.
The only way I would like it more is if I wasn't competing against you in the same category haha :poly124:
Well done, and good luck.

Nolt

Yeah definitely like this better. Nice job

JO420

Much better I love it !

audi100

Thanks guys glad the extra work was not for nothing .
Just posted in final submission thread. Also was able to update the workshop item whithout having to delete it. Maybe it would have worked in the first place and there was something wrong on my end.
