Further blocking in. Sculpted in a face. Retopo for that next.

I decided to rework the pauldrons...looks great in the silhouettes, but don't like them in practice. (Leaves open gaps to get ouchies out on the battlefield)
Also, reworked the forearms to become a shield when brought together (They can also be effective protection on their own.
Also a Visor-thingy for the face...maybe.

Yup, Still in this somehow, it's gonna be a race to the finish-line. Here's a render of all the pieces that have been UV unwrapped with UDIMS layed out for Substance painter. I will work on the hands last.

This has so much personality 🤩 love the proportions!

I am steaming through to get it done in time. Have some rivets and bits to add, lion-cloth, detail for the helmet, the clock and the Halberd to actually model and texture >__>
Yaay procrastination -__- cries

I forgot the feathers for the top of the helmet...DOH!
Will work on those, then pose this guy for final render.

Somehow I forgot to add a render for the back of this guy. The mechanism in the center is inspired by the Zytglogge in Switzerland's capital, Bern.



Gonna call it done. My steampunk, medieval cyborg reimagining of a Swiss Reislaufer, one of the most feared mercenary fighters of Europe, known for their skill with the pike or Halberd. The tradition carried on today with the Papal Swiss Guards at the Vatican, who still wear the traditional gear, harkening back to the time of the Mercenaries of old.
Was a tough theme to get through ( a bit of a spicy one). But I wanted to challenge myself. Good luck to one and all.

EDIT: Somehow the upload resized my model sheet. I cannot seem to reupload again to get the correct size. :confused: The Main image was also reduced in size but is still within the tolerances. Oh well.

this turned out amazing, I love the detail work you did in the materials.

I like so much this character and his automata look, very Swiss! The final aspect of the materials is also great! Good luck!
