Knight Concept

[MessFX]

Here is a piece I struggled with. I realize that the armor isn't very practical but I tried to make the design interesting. It was quite a learning experience. Thanks to jezelf, Fipse, and davi for some extremely useful reference links. I hope to incorporate more realistic elements in future designs.

thats really something..
did your draw this by hand and like colored it in some program? if so what program?

the engravings on the armor are cool, this is like the king-of-pretty-much-everything on middle earth if you ask me :)

Nice.

Give the guy a disk launcher and he wouldnt look out of place as a member of Diamond Sword from Starsiege Tribes.

Nice drawing!

the pose is a little bothersome though- it looks to me like he's about to fall over.
The armor is amazing- I want to see more of that!

sarath- I drew with pencil and then colored in photoshop.

Litium & Mr.Magnetichead- Thanks. I tried to make the design unique. Hopefully I will push it further in the next one.

Frosty- Thanks, I see what you are talking about regarding the weight balance. I need to bring his right foot forward and arch his back slightly. Should be an easy fix in Photoshop.

Thanks guys!

MessFX - You're very welcome. glad to hear the links were of help. Ive been thinking about doing some armour stuff myself of late.

I would like to see what you've done - shame that all I see is a red X right now :( sounds good though! :)

I'll pop by again tomorrow and see if my browser wants to show it.

best wishes
