Artist: Vitaly Bulgarov Title: MORTAL SHELL - Teaser Images for one of the key characters “Another key character design I created for our upcoming indie game Mortal Shell ! These pics are part of the early character teaser images you might’ve seen already if you’ve been following the game’s official socials (Discord, FB, Insta and Twitter). I deliberately made these renders as dark/cropped images (rendered in Octane) as part of the initial pre-announce tease and will be posting the easier-to-read full height pics as well as final textured lowpolies a bit later down the road You can’t really see here but underneath the armor/clothing there is also a base underbody model made by Dmitry Parkin We used that body on quite a few occasions on the project when designing new characters, even when the armor or cloth would completely cover it, as it worked as a great guide/mannequin for overall proportions, neutral pose and in general would speed things up in terms of character design and 3D model production Making this design was an exciting challenge as I tried to make it more “fantasy” and not referring to any specific historical armor yet still somewhat making sense (only somewhat though lol ) or at least appealing to my personal taste with darker/moodier aesthetic. I wanted to make a heavy looking coat as an armor set since the days when I played Witcher 3 but with partial scales(both big and small) and all while with a heavy gothic knight/paladin feel to it” Impressive work...
