More designs

had these sitting on the website, so now I'm putting them here. Gotta work out the mechanics of the sword dispersal unit, but that won't take long.

Thigh guards

chest plates

arm guards

Helmet design

Finally got a design I like. Felt that the top of the helm piece on the original concept was odd.

Boot panels test

So the boot panels are rigged, as well as the securing talons on the base, so here's a quick vid of them working.

progress

Boot plating and booster ports modeled out(not visible). Mechanics will be modeled and installed after armlets are modeled

Spartan shin and arm guards

The first iteration of the leg armor. Asked around and was decided that the feet were the strongest.



Second iteration of the leggings. Started with a multi-panel sliding system, but swapped for a more streamlined look. Settled on that and began arm guard work.



Several variants on the arm guard, originally having the shield(see earlier post on shield design) under the armor, but was told to just keep it outside. Used style of leg guards for arm guard design, resulting in the finalized version circled.

2/3 done

With the video portion of the 3d animation "Trash Me" complete, it mean's I've 2 pieces of my reel done. Now to get crackin' on the Spartan and compile it all.
