Phantom Lancer - The Sun Guardian
Last update of our lancer:
Hi, we are a team.My partner is Shriker and we both are going to post our wips in this thread.Well that's our entry... Decided to make somewhat more armored look to the lancer and regarding his illusions we decided to take the sun motive to make our badass phantom lancer. Hope you like it.
That's the concept sketch. (really glad on the extension
)
We have the idea for making a full set effect.It's like when you get the full set you get that badass effect on your face that shows on the portrait below...and it gets something like this:

I've been banging my head scraping these indentations whole day now but it really paid off. Initially I was thinking of extracting the normal from a texture later on but now it's already done. I'll try to finish the shoulder guard tomorrow and then it's weapon time
Here's where the low polys are at
I barely managed to fit the gauntlets into the poly budget and the belt might need some more loops but I'll see to that when it comes to skinning.
Added extra geometry for the glowing eyes. There currently isn't a mechanic in game to add effects for full item sets (as far as i know) so we'll be adding that to the shoulder armor which makes most sense. Here's a portrait estimate:

Now we have to do some proper presentation and we're done.
This one turned really well. Sadly I haven't noticed it before and I could't input any positive comments before
Good luck!!
Tomorrow I'm gonna post a little video as well.
We are really happy with it as well and finally can get some sleep now
Good luck to you too!
