Welcome to the contest. I hope you learn a lot (I am learning a lot). I like your design, you really put a lot of effort into making it look good.

Thanks! Yes, this contest is good to grow higherr and learn a lot new skills

Still continuing to work with base volumes. Trying to make convincing armor like in the late medieval or early renaissance period

Armor details

Hey. Unfortunately, I did not have time to finish work on the deadline. I guess I started too late. In any case, it was a very exciting 3 weeks!
Thanks a lot to the organizers and all the restraints for this wonderful contest!

So that something remains in the memory of the competition, I attach the pictures that I collected from the renderings in the 3D-coat while I was painting the textures of the armor.

Consider this my final post.

Good luck everyone!

Your insane mate, even unfinished this is amazing

Erigo 2020-02-09 13:09:21 UTC #16

Awesome work!

Michael_Black 2020-02-10 04:54:55 UTC #17

@luitenantdan3 Thank you!

Michael_Black 2020-02-10 04:56:04 UTC #18

@Erigo Thanx! You char is the most epic fire champion i've ever seen!

Tijerin-art 2020-02-10 09:11:15 UTC #19

HOW BEAUTIFUL! How much detail! Does it have a lot of polygons or is it a very well applied displacement map? I would love to have a life-size figure of this.

I'd be surprised if you weren't among the contest finalists.

Michael_Black 2020-02-10 23:05:32 UTC #20

@JoseTijerin Wow! Thanks a lot!
Details are made using not even a displacement map, but just baked normals:D
There are not many polygons here. I rendered these pictures in 3d-coat realtime render
