[WIP] Knight - Artstation challenge refugee

Tairow

I've been out of clients for a while  so I've decided to create a new portfolio piece with all the bells and whistles I can, I was divided between doing a soldier or a knight and the new Medieval Artstation Challenge was just what I was trying to do since Brazil can't participate (as we aren't punished enough...) I decided to do on my own with no rush (just a bit cause I need work) and trying to do something cool!

I've decided to work on a knight concept from the artist Yuhong Ding 


The idea is to create a character with clean and great topology and UVs and render at UE5. The sword, shield and helmet will have a kinda of a fast unfolding equipping animation 



I'll try to use symmetry where I can and and use marvelous at the hood and cape to polish my Marvelous skills. It will be a tough character and it will take some work but I'm sure I can hammer something cool out of it. I'm mostly worried about the animated gear as its not something I ever done before. 



I hope I can make a great portfolio piece out of it and maybe get a job so I will call this project the Blizzard hire me Knight.

I'm always open to any feedback and ideas, the UE part will be tough work so I take all the help I can get. I'll try to keep a good pace and hope you like the result.

That's my first blockout pass with all the basic elements on it. I think I will start the shield and sword only after I have a decend HP of the body, now to a some let me get to the head, and have a study of what I want out of it.

The artstation challenge is already over but I'm taking my time and enjoying the progress, the HP of the character is complete and I will start on the weapon and shield.

Hey Tairo, I like how it's going.
Are you sure about the vertical dimension of the boots? It looks a bit squashed.
