Finished! Now to get it process and put into the game so that I can see how it moves around. I'm really not terribly pleased with this one, I sorta lost interest halfway through it and I feel it suffered as a result. Hopefully people enjoy this set.

Project complete! I really, really do not care for it at all though. I sort of lost interest halfway through and it made working on the rest of it very painful. Which, happens to us all sometimes I am certain.
Either way, it is done now and I can move on to something else! Probably with cloth, thinking a rigged coat of some kind.
Overview of the set, pictures taken in-game with composition done in Photoshop.
Promotional image for the set. Picture taken in-game and then touched up in Photoshop. I did not make the model or texture elements on the male model! Those were made by someone else. (Does this need to be hidden with a MA clicky? There is no nudity involved but it is pretty bloody. If so, please let me know! Thanks!)

Well, even though you don't like the armor set the PS comp is great! And frightening!!!

Glad you like it! I definitely like some parts of it, like the shoulders, and the face in the middle of the chest armor. But overall, I guess it just seems a little lacking. I should have added more to the design. Some cloth elements, or frill, or something more complex.

New project! Decided to make a rigged, sleeveless coat for the models. Had a very interesting time with this one. It is completely made out of a sphere primitive using a technique that would likely get me laughed out of any proper modeling environ. But it works very well for what this is being used for, and makes for a simple, square, easy to edit UV map. Unfortunately, near the tail end of this I realized it looked a little.. Sepheroth'ish? But hopefully the recolors will wash some of that away. Considering adding some tribal patterning to it or some sort of trim. Not sure yet.
The fur was something completely new for me, and I think I only just skimmed by something that is "passing". I really need to sit down and learn how to sculpt some nice fur/hair into a solid model for occasions such as this.

Those textures look nice I like

Thanks! The main workhorse was a leather Matcap I made for the last piece, seen above. (Scary vampire chicka) It continues to be a too-fun material to use.

WOW! I love the leather duster! I've been thinking of doing a full-figure Harry Dresden and I may have to rework your design a little for his duster. Awesome work!

Question; is the base for the coat an extraction from a model, or did you start with a primitive and just adapt it to your model?

@Voodoo Dad: Sorry for the late reply! It came from a Zbrush primative. The entire thing is one Zsphere I just warped six ways to sunday.
New project, this one for fun. I am making a Mouseguard from the series by the same name. This one is purely for fun and will not be sold- as I most certainly do not own the copy-write on it. I am however considering getting it 3D printed for fun! It is my character in the tabletop add-on of the book series. He is one of the few staunch mice that believes in armor, and is the son of a smith. He now makes his way as a mouseguard, trying to prove the benefits that the "metal shells" can provide for the rest of his kind to see.
Dorky stuff, but very fun.

"With a shout of rage that echoed across the small cave, the armor clad mouse-guard noisomly disregarded all attempts at stealth as he flung himself through the expanse. He could hear the audible wince of his ally still cleverly hiding in the darkness behind him, but the time for subterfuge was past. His ally, his /friend/ was in danger. And he would bring hell itself to the doorstep of these weasels."
Wanted to show the largely hidden mouse beneath the armor!
Never really done fur before as a solid piece like this. Was a lot of trial and error to get it to still look cutesy/cartnoonish without losing the touch of realism the surrounding pieces have. Still a good ways to go, but at least I've passed the threshold of what I lost during that crash before. The metal parts are largely untouched with any sort of shading or texturing yet. I think I will work on them next.

Finally done! Had a blast with this item, and learned several new things in the process. I am considering sending him out to get 3D printed so that I can have my very own to play with.
Edit*: Forgot to mention! The background image is not mine, and is the work of an amazing artist named Rapheal Locoste, a friend just asked me to make it into a desktop for them, and I needed a quick background image for it. Check his work out, it's amazing!
