more progress, ignore the tusks, im still working on them, and I made new gauntlets for him, I like these better. 50% self illum on the armor. I still need to apply the spec and bump for the armor.
You should tryout haveing the armor fusing with the body. I think it could look cool, your armor looks pretty dang sweet, very sleek and Dark Knight like.
ooh, shiny! It almost looks like the head was done by another artist, in that there seems to be a large contrast in quality between it and the armor. kind of ruins it for me but, as others have said, the armor is fanfuckingtastic

continuing the work on the first character, laying in some armor basemesh. Want to make some sort of light armor mixed with leather. Soon I'm gonna go into marvelous and make some clothes.
Hopefully I'm not steppin on any toes with this, but I'd like to toss in the request for someone to start an "armor HER" thread with one of these female bodies. The "armor HIM" thread a while back was definitely fun!
