Sci Fi Soldier

Concept by Nathan Thorman (https://www.artstation.com/nate_thor)

This was a really challenging project. The blend of organic and geometric shapes and sci-fi style made this difficult for me to sculpt and model, but I was able to learn a lot in the process. It made me think of ways to handle topology I hadn't thought of before, especially with so much of the torso being one mesh (for ease of rigging.) It was also interesting trying to find references for texturing when we were given a stylised concept but a more realistic brief. The project made me think harder about how to approach and create interest in the texturing.

Could still use with some more work especially with the helmet and maybe a pair of legs, but overall I learnt a lot and I am fairly satisfied with the outcome.
