'Kali' -Body Armor

Denzil_forde

Hey Folks,

My next personal project is a fun one ofr me. It is based on the concept by Serge Birault called 'kali Body armor'. 

I'm excited for this project because I haven't working on a sci-fi project before and certainly not a hard surface one.

Reference:
So I've put together this board just go get the ball rolling. I've focused on identifying the key features and compared it to references that would reflect the concept best. There is no concept of her back so I'm taking some creative license and making my own design. It's so cool what you can find online, Like the handles on dyson hoovers look like sci fi handguns.

Blockout Phase 1:
I've just started blocking out the armor now, playing with shapes, still figuring out silhoutte not really committing to anything properly just yet. I've mostly just been using the dam_standard, h polish and clay buildup brushes, alongside dynameshed zspheres.

looks like a great start!

Interested in how you'll tackle the design for where the extra arms join.

If Sons of the Forest has taught me anything, doesn't matter if the joints are too close the multiple arms thing can work and it becomes an animation problem. A very good start.

Blockout Phase 2:

Hey Folks, I've been a bit busy at work hence the slow progress. that being said I've done a little bit more blocking out on Kali these past couple of weeks. Mainly just using the the mask and extract tools too create the difference armour panels, based on the concept.
