[WIP] Saxon

Pav3d

Hello!

After watching The Last Kingdom, Vikings Valhalla and playing a bit of AC:Valhalla I decided to do an Anglo Saxon character.

Normally I do my concepting in the blockout stage of sculpting and then "concept as I go". I am by no means a concept artist but I wanted to see how far I could push my 2d skills, here is the main concept:

Blockout:

And an example of my process for designing parts, here the dagger or Seax

On to high poly!

These were made in 3ds max first, which allowed me to make creases easily. But I did some in zbrush using the following method:

• Mask your edge loop with zmodeler
• With transpose selected Crtl + scale the loop so it pushes along the vertex normal
• then tidy up with some smoothing and subdivide

Theres no particular tricks to it its just sculpted using a few sharp brushes (like Orb Cracks), for larger tears i like to show the excess material folding over
