Unfortunately i ve been very busy last week and i didnt have the time to do much work :/

so here s an update with what i ve done so far

[Spyridon Boviatsos]

hey there

another update

[magbhitu]

A very cool design! evocative of baroque armor yet steampunk at the same time.

[Spyridon Boviatsos]

Feels really good to hear that because its exactly what i was going for

Thank you

[Morrostar]

What a amazing work !

[ArtBot]

Very clever. Like a culture in the future being inspired by going to the armor museum!
Now they just need some steampunk breathing apparatus within. Loved your execution.

[jkemp]

Still looking very nice ! Cant wait for whats left...

Keep up the good work... this is going to be a very impressive sculpt for sure...

Digging the armor!
Where did you got those intricate stencils?

Can't wait to see it finished!

[Spyridon Boviatsos]

Thank you all.

Stefano i m one of your biggest fans. I always follow what you do and read about your methods.

So when i saw you replied, i jumped from my chair!

I have a very big colection of alphas with baroque designs, i ve been collecting them for the last two years and i use them all the time.

Whenever possible, i will decorate the s**t ouf of everything.

Some
i ve found in old booksand retouched them, some i ve made myself, some i ve just found online.
Most of them ate pretty simple though i just combine them to get a result.

Bravo Spiridona
Very nice start, interesting thread! Staying tuned.


BTW, have you tried the new tools as demonstrated on these excellent video tuts?

[stefanobernardi]

Spyridon, thank you for your kind words!

The design of your model reminds me a lot "A gentlemen's duel", the short movie made by Blur Studio...
Have you seen it?

[Spyridon Boviatsos]

mihali thank you my friend. I tried the retopologizing tools but i wasnt very confident with it so i did it the old fashion way. i really wanna make some chains though i see everyone making gazillions of chains.

stefano i hadnt seen it but now i have. I see the resemblance too. The concept artist is really inspired by steampunk stuff so i guess it kinda makes sense. bottom line anything related to blur, I ll take as a compliment!

and now shoes!!!
