Animated Armour Moodboard
Added 2021-04-22 11:10:38 +0000 UTCOk so we've definitely got a chance to push this one further than most take it.
I've had a look at a bunch of the available designs and my biggest issue with them all is the lack of negative space. If you didn't already know what it was you would just assume it's some armoured dude, which defeats the purpose completely...
So for the main ideas I have right now:
- really play with the negative space and emptiness of the armour
- make it headless, possibly holding it instead (opportunities for OSL?)
- NO STATIC POSING
That's about it, no anatomy or proportions to really worry about just some hard surface modelling. Let me know what you think and I'll get stuck into some more research and block-outs!

I'll do my best!

2021-04-22 18:17:50 +0000 UTCI recommend taking a look at Loot Studios version of "Living Armor" in their Feb 21 "Granny's Prophecy" month. It's very well done but it's in a static stance which I'm not fond of. I do however love the way they used the negative space to convey the fact that it is empty magical armor. I would prefer yours to keep it's helmet on but have the visor up so we can see that it's empty inside. Plus please have it showing movement as in an attacking posture with sword up vs a more static fighting stance. I think this is a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful center piece for display painting at the larger scale with all sorts of creative possibilities for us the painters. You can display the negative space between the armor plates especially from behind and at the joints. Please no smoke emanating from it either or at least make that a separate piece. I'm excited about this model. Thank you.
