This looks realy great from a sketch to a render.
Thanks guys. I'm planning to rig the 3D model to be poseable, hopefully animatable too 'cause I think this will get it a few sales. Shoulder area are might be trickyAmazing!!!
Same method as I do for the dinosaur skulls, paint rough polygon layout on the sculpt then re-topo over
I never get precise with this which is why there's a few issues to iron out including N-gons
Made some progress on the torso too but I think I'll have to shelve this project for a while to focus on other commitments. I'll sneak in bits of work when I can.
Kind of like a cage for 3 weird birds, a pair of lung parrots and a heart budgerigar

Just like Barbie any decent skeleton warrior needs accessories.
Not sure how I'm going to do these yet. Hard surface modelling not really my thing, prefer making organic stuff.
Don't know if I'm going with a Xiphos or Kopis style sword but I'm not going to get too hung up on historical accuracy. Also want items to be a bit beat up. I could be wrong but I don't think skeletons are known for maintaining their equipment.

Went ahead with a sub-D model of the xiphos rather than the kopis. Mostly squarish quads as I'm going to try to sculpt all the knarliness in. Gave the cross-guard a bit more shape than the drawing based on one I saw online.
This looks great!
It's exactly the opposite with me. I prefer making symmetrical mechanic designs (and I'm really not good at making tubes which bend in mid-air...).
Mistreated
Metallic look is just the sculpting material to help me see details. Textured version should have rust and a wood grip.

Made these in the style of game asset
Figured a shield on left arm might take more cuts toward the 10 o' clock position, no idea how plausible it's purely a creative decision
The right side image is the same low poly object with normals baked from the sculpt versions
Is rusty sword a euphemism for a medical condition?

Thought I'd put the low poly props on Blender Market as a standalone product.
Realtime version on sketchfab-
I’m not fully down with this PBR texturing malarkey yet, I went with ‘metallic workflow’, might try specular next time. I like the way PBR surfaces look similar in diff renderers. Did some renders for the product page.

Finally got back to the skeleton. Base mesh has been done a while now. Got a posing rig working but I'm attempting to add switches to flick between IK and FK on the limb controls. Bit intricate and a lot of testing required but the principle seems to be working.
Got the skeleton rig working, not sure if It'll need more revisions
Orange parts are the controllers. Panel above the head is the limb IK-FK switches

Managed to make some time for this, think the sculpt is just about done.
I'll check it tomorrow, maybe make some adjusts

Got a surface going, as usual a lot of the effect is coming from the normal map
A 4096px image is driving colour-ramps for colour, specular and roughness. It's a mix of baked ambient occlusion and hand painting, some proc noise too. Specular is kind of optional but it does add some lighting depth
Will bake this out to maps for Blender Market version
