[WIP] Dark Souls Inspired Knight

garriola83 · Sep 2016

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.

@garriola83 Strting to look really cool! I'm not a character artist, so no idea an=bout anatomy and stuff, but I like the shapes that are going on and stuff.

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 · Jan 2017

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

garriola83 · Jan 2017

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.

garriola83 · Mar 2017

Tomtegubbe · Apr 2017

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 · Apr 2017

Yep its a LOT of subtools, thanks!

Pav3d · Apr 2017

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

garriola83 · Apr 2017

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

garriola83 · Apr 2017

calling it done, time to move on to another project

Krato · Apr 2017

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

/s

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

Macebo · Apr 2017

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 · Apr 2017

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 · Apr 2017

Nice work

Tectonic · Apr 2017

so gorgeous, great job!

Tits · Apr 2017

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 · Apr 2017

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

Nikolas3D · Apr 2017

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