Fire Armor Knight - Real Time

AndreyEfimov

Hey!
So here we are with this little knight. The idea was to make a belligerent but at the same time feminine knight. I hope you will enjoy!)

The armor looks great! Love the design.

The earrings seem out of place to me, I think they feel too modern. I would expect a knight to either not have earrings at all, or something a little more ornate and compact.

She would suffocate in a steel corset; no room for expansion. The metal is too thick, use rolled edges instead.  The gorget is too tight, no room for padding or breathing. It's also dangerous to have a gorget with no rolled edge. A strike to the lower portion of the gorget will shove the unprotected top opening into her neck. The gauntlets would allow side to side movement, but no up or down movement.

Is that a round sword grip? You can't get edge alignment with a round sword grip, the grip is also too long for a one handed sword, or if it's a two handed sword, the blade is too short. There's profile taper, but is there distal taper? Every 3d artist I see does this. Round handle, no distal taper.

Surface metal decorations should appear as embossed through repousse & chasing. The filigree looks like it's welded on here. The boobs have an odd shape to them.

Would be cool to see a helmet design.

Overall, professional render and interesting design, awesome work. I particularly like the stitching work on the cuirass with the fire/feathered details. However I would recommend more references - museum references, when working with plate armour.

Nice job. Very clean work.

Nice model!

Yeah, why is the chest open? I would have thought that is one area to protect. Breasts are an odd form. The hair looks flat and atm look like cards with no normal map. The high heels look ceremonial but the waist cloth looks battleworn. The sword haft looks really fragile. The surface she is standing on is very abstract.

Looks cool!
I think the hair looks a bit dull, could use a some more fire/variation.
