Saint seiya --> Knight of dragon.

[slyer]

Hi everybody !!!
Here is the first part of a joint project (A modeler & a designer).
The goal of our project is to sculpt the five "Saint Seiya" bronze knights. (Dragon, Pegasus, Cygnus, Andromeda & phenix).

For this we decide to proceed in two stages:
- The first step will enable us to define and validate the final design of each knight.
- The second step is the work of sculpture and painting for each knight.
The idea is to keep the sign of each knight by associating elements of the culture with whom he grew up.

The first knight we are working on is the "knight of the dragon".
He grew up in Japan. We have therefore decided to combine elements of Japanese armor and visual symbols that may remind those of samurai.
Our idea is that his armor was forged from pieces of dragon and also with parts of Samurai armor.

Here is the first step : The global look of the knight of dragon.

I hope you like it !
