Dragon Knight

[Klipso]

Dragon Knight [WIP]

im making a model of an orc riding a dragon, im still fairly new to modeling atm

it will not be a wc3 model as im trying to add as much detail as i can, and the file would be too large.
i decided to start with his sword and work from there, IE Sword => gauntlet => arm => shoulders/neck => helm/head => chest

heres what i got so far:

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

The sword aint that orcish...

Give it runes and black obsidian, serrated.

 

[Massive_attack]

So far, this model looks sexy. I await a more complete version.

So far so good; The gauntlet has the detail covered, but as Elfsilver Lord said, you must orcify the sword, make it black, with serrated edges, and you could also make it one bladed, which most Orcish swords are.

 

[Jetherit]

The hand has looks too detailed. If you do the entire model like that, it'll be the most beautiful orc rider model ever seen, but crash the compter in 3 seconds. But like you said, its not WC3, so besides that, very good job.

im playing around with different textures for the sword, trying to find darker ones that look good

all the ones ive tried so far, either make it look bad or like outerspace

 

[Kimbo]

the gauntlets texture is repeated far too much, add more distinct patterns that flow with the shape, more colour variety and symbols. The sword needs to be smoothed, the shape makes it look like a toy, apart from that its looking fine

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Then remake the sword to look something like these:

changed textures to look more "orc" -ish, working on the rest of the plate for the arm
