It is coronavirus quarantine time and that means that I’ll be working on stuff. This stuff right here, actually. It’s a mashup I’ve thrown together super quickly and I’m really happy with the mesh and design of it. The armor isn’t done yet and the link in the sidebar has not been changed whatsoever. I just want to show what i’m working on.
The breast”plate” will be brigandine. Red velvet, with golden rivets. I might make a green version too. The armor itself will be fluted in the Maximilian style, or made in the style of gothic armour. Decoration! As for the underarmour, i want to make it colourful and give it some nice striped patterns. Yellow and black? Red and yellow? Who knows. I want to make a flashy armour in a medieval style!
I’m going to be relying on a lot of existing parts, namely some stuff from the plate ensemble and two pieces from the blackened steel plate. They will all get a retexture, but still, asset reuse. Sue me. In general, I want to make the design a bit more realistic. Normally i leave huge gaps in the armour for the sake of visual design but I’m done with that. This time, I’ll actually make some fucking tassets and add in some functional armguards. I’m also considering to reuse the cuisse from the blackened steel armour, as that one’s pretty good and got a nice protective sideplate. As it is now, though, it sits too low. Gotta fix that if I want to use it.
Anyway I’ll try to keep this page a bit more up to date as I am out of a job anyway for now and I like sharing progress online.
Cheers!
