Do you have any free cam pics of Gideon from the side/back? For art references?
Mm you'll have to be more specific. Specific scene or pose? Just his head or full body? With or without the visor? I also have the blender file with his model. Here's some I have on hand
A TONNE of refs of Victor's helmet in Blender, including some individual parts
Whole - orthographic
Whole 3/4
Point of interest - wearer-side
Lenses close up
Details of the... side thingy [identical on both sides thankfully]
Middle latch
Top plate and... I'm not sure what those things are with the wires. I'm going to call them processors.
Closeup of processors and grip-thingies
And finally another point of interest -- these wires actually curl under to nodes under the helmet. Wonder if it connects to Gideon's brain in some way...
Played around with freecam during the final boss scene -- and shockingly enough, made some heads and tails of the flesh blob!
⚠Warning -- fictional g//ore and body horror below cut
To start -- shockingly enough, he does have his skull left; it sits at the bottom of the whole thing, with arms and a ribcage.
And there's these -- tendril things, poking out the back of his skull.
These actually look a lot like some of the parts we see on his scrapped final form model
My running theory is that these might actually be strands of the original parasite that'd latched itself into Victor's brain, erupting out of the back of his skull.
As mentioned, there's actually a ribcage attached to this skull, separate from the big ribcage-esque part above
And these arms seem to be part of the this structure as well
Now it looks like it's holding up its body weight with these arms, but once it actually hoists itself up on the platform -- it collapses under itself and gets very messy.
But it looks like -- you've got his original upper half on the floor, and the Nemesis part kinda exploded out of the back and bottom half of him. This is my best guess
Can't find a pelvis but you've got something that vaguely looks like guts near the top between the "legs"
To make everything even more confusing, the model and especially the pose completely change throughout the scene 😅 Once it crawls up on the platform it folds and spills biomass everywhere
Some details:
Stringy bits from the original body to the new mass, and you can see the ribcage behind the skull
There's this almost snake-like gutsy mass at the very very back of it
In one of the first shots, I found this spooky face on the back I couldn't find again after..
