[WIP] Dark Souls Inspired Knight

garriola83

Long time no post. This is a knight character (Dark Souls inspired) I've been building over the past few days, but since I have a wedding coming up, I can only chip away at this 1-2 hours at a time. Just a block out pass so far. With a few 2nd pass parts.
Some are dynamesh, and some are dynamic subdiv in zbrush.

Do you have any concepts or references you are working from? This will help us see what direction you are going with this piece

Not necessarily working from a "concept" but I do have some references to follow. I have a lot more than these, and also this is only one of the armor sets, I'm planning on doing 3 at the same time, so certain pieces might change over time.

Update, closing in on the high poly polish of armor set 1, armor set 2 and 3 still in progress

apllana

Looking pretty cool, I like the edge trims on the pauldrons. Interested how the other sets will look like.

garriola83

Took it to keyshot to figure out the materials. This is not a true representation of the materials, but rather a preview of what needs to be done. Ready to take it to low poly, then make material in Painter then the other armor. I'll use the same base materials from this armor set to put to the other 2, which is still in dynamesh.

Test bake

Macebo

Damn, that metal is absolutely ridiculous. So good... Amazing job.
 
Now just give him a huge claymore to chop some hollow's heads!

lospri

It start to look really good ! Give him a nice sword/shield

garriola83

threw it in to toolbag3, gonna work on it some more, a couple of things could be improved, but for now a progress shot

garriola83

posed! time to tweak the lighting and beauty shots soon

garriola83

added a hint that there's a bonfire nearby

Tomtegubbe

That looks like a lot of subtools and a lot of work, man I wish substance painter would work on my laptop, such nice textures.

garriola83

Yep its a LOT of subtools, thanks!

Pav3d

Looking great! Really nice modelling, tho the sword and leather areas are looking a bit plastic atm.

garriola83

Good eye, i'll tweak the leather and sword too

garriola83

calling it done, time to move on to another project

Krato

Looks great! But I dont like the armor, could you do it over again?

/s

(it really is super badass though, great work!)

Macebo

Absolutely beautiful! *-*

If you asked me, the only thing that is missing is a badass fighting stance, like evading a hit or preparing to land a blow.

djackson362

Really nice materials.  Wish I could get mind to look as good.  Thanks for sharing.  What would your polycount be from hi to low model?  

Nikolas3D

Nice work

Tectonic

so gorgeous, great job!

Tits

Stellar work Really like the Dark souls vibe.
In some shot the ''fire'' particles look a little bit too yellow in my opinion, I would add just a tad more warmth to them (reddish tones) and they would feel more natural-integrated.
Regardless of this, amazing work!

Stellar work man! Looks awesome

Martoon

This design was always my favorite in the Darksouls series. I think you did an amazing job overall, especially with the materials.

Nikolas3D

Nice work man, armor in darksouls is one the best part in  the game!
