Morne





Maya: Base Mesh, Rig for Pose
Zbrush: Hi-Res Sculpt

This guy is basically an elite soldier - one man army type hero. Maybe a bit cliche but I love that stuff. The idea was that he would have many weapons, (in this case 4: 3 swords and a pistol) so that he would look cool doing moves during animation :). After striking his targets he would resheath his weapons so that he could choose another set depending on the situation. In a game the player could choose whatever sets of weapons he wants to enable different moves and combos.

Notes:

Design and Inspiration: Lot of anime inspiration for his overall look I suppose. The gun his uses is actually Vash's gun from Trigun more or less, and I got the idea for the leg strapped gun holster, leg chap type flaps, and knee high boots from an action figure my friend had of someone from the Gungrave anime. Some inspiration also came from the boots Rangers wore during WWII as seen in the movie Saving Private Ryan. (Those were cool).
