An in-deapth look at Vengeance armor design

Ah, I see it now.

Looks pretty decent. Might be a good medium armor, but it gives me a sense that Spawn would fight in that instead of a DS. The helmet looks like a wrestler's mask and the belt looks like chains...

Pretty good, though.

very nice work indeed so far

Wow, very nice work indeed from Tacky Tricky, Benzer and the rest. It seems that the Diamond Sword will be making a comeback like I had hoped. All your work is appreciated.

Plague that actually would be a good Medium Armor concept. I think the shoulder pads are a bit too low though. Tehn again if you move the pads up any the armor would be redundant.

Oh well i'll leave sorting out minor details to those who know better.

Dang benzer...is modeling your hobby or point of study/profession. Mad skills.

:o

Not bad...
crits: shoulders need to be bigger...he looks too weak right now. Arms and knees/calves also need work.

Great work guys!

Just talking to Tacky again. He converted the medium armor to light, but it didn't work out too well. :/ Something is just not right there, we can't really put our fingers on it.
Looks like the medium is going to stay medium for now...although changed a bit to be more consistant with the other armors. Basically, more armor is going to be added to the upper arms & upper legs etc.

The helmet also looks more medium than light...But then Tacky says that he's going to play with a bunch more designs for it. He's hardly spent any time at all on the helmet so far. I get the feeling that he's not entirely happy with it, so let's wait and see what he comes up with before commenting on the helmet.
He knows about the full covering on the face, for example. He's getting to that.

If you have ideas or comments, please post them. Pictures help too. :)

Why am I posting on his behalf? Because he's busy drawing stuff and he doesn't have the patience to make big long posts. I just want to give you guys a better idea of what is going on at this end.

Excellent work again Benzer :o

I think tacky mentioned that the shoulders need to be a bit stronger.
He based part of the design off of roman legionare armor, so perhaps this will be helpful:

Note the large bands that go over the shoulder. Should make the shoulders a bit bigger while saving you some polys. The chest plate is very different though.

I like Plagues design..would make a nice medium.

Being one of the modelers for the DS project, and having not modeled in a while I went ahead and started practicing with Tackys concepts. here is what I have so far.

As you can see I tried to give the lower thighs a sort of drapeing
cloth look which I could see in the concept. Im not so happy how the calf and lower leg area turned out so I might retouch those areas. I probably will also make the model a little thinner since it looks kinda phat. :P

And no im not changing the buttockz. :)

Edit: oh and the Knee pads are temp.

Going to do some serious modifications when I get off of work. Gonna rehaul the whole shabang.... And this is just for fun/hobby. No design has been decided on, so everything is just for practice at this point.

I love you Destos.

PS: Get to work on the site template!!!!!!!!!

:heart:

wow, very nice stuff you all have here so far.

Benzer- kewl rendition of my sketches. any suggestions as to what else we can do to the armor?

Necro- awsome sketch, would that be your heavy or med?

Desto- kick ass!!! if you're working off what i got then i feel sorry for you. cuz more changes are going to come. though i think i might leave the legs as is.



and to the rest of youz- helmet, when armor design is kosher. then I'll work on the helmet and jet pack. I already have an idea for the jet pack. soo I'm not too worried. though the helmet will require more attention.

I am actually tempted to break out my old sketch books and try my hand at this.

If I can get anything coherent together, I'll post pics.

OK, here's another one.

trying to bulk up the upper body a bit more. after all it's housing the electronics. and still trying to keep the mix of samurai/knight armor theme going. the helmet is still a WIP as you noticed that none of the ones i drew are the same. i will introduce a series of helmets for you to chose from. but in the mean time, need to know if the general consent for this would be good for Med or Light?


any comments?

i wanted this to be the med armor. but having trouble bulking up the body. mabey when i stick the jet pack on it, it will have the apperance of med armor.

I really like that helmet. The upper body looks good, but doesn't match the legs. Seems like 2 different people. And why is he so sad? :(

Honestly, it looks medium. What makes a light look like a light is a lack of large shoulder pads and a huge jetpack, both of which are medium features.

glad you like the helmet. i think once it's i add the details to the armor it will bring it all together. any suggestions as to how it could be brought together?

dunno why he's so sad.. could still be mourning the loss of the chair (j/k)

As i said earlier Tacky, you gotta put armor on the upper arms & legs if you are going to make it a medium.
The stuff going over the shoulders is a tad too big as well. It looks too imperial.
I liked the roman curved shoulders better.

If you wanna make it a light, you should slim down the leg/arm armor and make the shoulder shield a bit smaller.
