Sculpt



Once I had the armor pieces blocked out, I started sculpting the details one piece at a time.

I started with the skull, then moved on to his belts, the loin cloth, armor plates, horns and finally the wraps. Again, layering in Mudbox proved to be priceless here. And more pinching for crisp cuts/dents in the details. I've also added in some spikes in the skull [very lowpoly cones] and belts to hold the skull to the shoulder plate [polyboost again].


Weapons



I made 2 weapons for him. A pike and a big sword. Both of them carried the theme from his armor but I chose to scrap his sword as it just didn't seem to go well. Again the wraps were made using polyboost. The weapons themselves were box modeled. Once done with the blockout, I've detailed the weapons in the same way I did the armor.

Once I'd finished detailing the weapons, I spent some tweaking the whole character, and when I was finally happy it was time to call the modeling done.
