Braveheart Render

Another render to view at the studio.  Every couple of days a passer-by takes interest in what I'm looking at and I get to explain the concept, and all the work I've been doing.  Most are children of the 80s and have fond memories of the Care Bears--not they recognize them from the render.

Well -- what's different?  Subdivision has been activated for most of the geo.  Details have been added to the chest plate, hat and chaps.  The jacket got a makeover thanks to average vertices and sculpt geometry tool, and construction has begun on the arm frame.

Two of the torso plates are hidden in the render.  They will likely be redone.  Some sculpting was done on the body/torso and the top two plates didn't line up well enough with the body anymore.

While viewing the render as I type I think some more structure in the shoulders would help. Looking back at the concept---Braveheart's shoulders were much more angular.  I'll have to see about what can be done about that.  Perhaps pointy shoulders and some folds...  thinking...
