wackyserious Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 What about the full scale armor? Up to where does it extend? And what are those sashes on top of the full scale armor, the two parallel sashes that extend downward the torso in the archaelogical reference that you sent? Should that be included?

Sundiata Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 @wackyserious If you want, you can make 1 version with the sashes and 1 without. The sashes are strips of cloths, with golden figures of gods attached to them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyserious Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not sure where to get those golden figures and the resolution might be too small to even properly depict them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yeah, I thought so too... But perhaps when you're ready you could provide me the texture png for a full scale armour with the sashes left blank, and I'll give it a shot..

Sundiata Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 3 minutes ago, wackyserious said: Doesn't look right when viewed from a distance The scales are supposed to come down to the knees (just above the knees, not half way the thighs) It fits tightly to the body, so there needs to be a belt, like in the reference to make it believable 6 minutes ago, wackyserious said: Could I add neck and arm accessories above the armor? You can. The reference image on the left show him wearing bracelets, necklaces and those strips of cloth around his arm is where armbands would normally go. So I'd say yes. But I'd avoid gold or bronze on top of bronze. Really nice work though! The units are really starting to shine!

Sundiata Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 @wackyserious Also, I think you should increase the size of the individual scales of the arms to match the ones of the body. Scale up the scales  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) @wackyserious Dude... Wow... It is love that I'm feeling...  These guys look sooo cool, and close to the reference  I want to see one more thing though. I actually made the decorated sash. I'm sure I'm biased towards my own work, but i think it looks really great, and I'd love for you to incorporate it in your final version (historicity for the win!), I could also do it myself if you give me the updated png:  old vs new  One other thing you might want to change is let the necklace overlap the sash, instead of the sash overlapping the necklace.  For the second one, I think wowgetoffyourcellphone is right. You followed my concept very well, but it does indeed look better if it comes down a little more: This one can be used as a cloth armour variation for most citizen soldiers I think Noble Archers (or Meroitic Royal Archers, or whatever) should get the scale corselet like the other champions.    Edited January 20, 2018 by Sundiata 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 @wackyserious Very cool! I'm assuming Apedemak's faithful? But remember that the prop for his head needs to be a lion's head and not a wolf's head. The shape of the axe is surprisingly appropriate. It looks like a Meroitic period axe. Maybe it's a little too large for a single handed axe though. Maybe you could show us how he looks with the Egyptian style cow-hide shield?  Also, I know this is just detail-nitpicking, but sandals for champion units would be perfect.  Kushite Trader: And before I forget, Kushite trader still needs to be done. Last time I checked they were using the priest as a placeholder. I suggest that ideally, the trader should wear a long simple white-ish garment, like the Muslim thobe (thawb). I always thought they were a later Arab influence, but the reliefs often show men wearing these long robes, and it's the number 1 traditional outfit for men in Sudan today.. Just don't give them that muslim cap  Kushite trader ideas: Spoiler   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need a lion version of this asap. @stanislas69? @LordGood? I posted a great reference somewhere... My only critique of the texture is that the leopard skirt texture looks a bit stretched, but that's the UV's fault.
