Title: Game art: Cygnar Knight
Name: Nicholas Cort
Country: Sweden
Software: Maya, Photoshop, ZBrush

Polycount: 6455 tris.
Textures: 2 1024x1024, Color, Specular, Normal, Reflection.
Software: Maya, Zbrush and Photoshop.
All images are printscreens from the Maya viewport, taken at 8xFSAA, 16xAniso.

The concept is from the Warmachine board game. Only useable reference I could find was a concept picture at the warmachine homepage since the miniture models didnt have much detail. This is my very first try at normalmaps. When I first started modeling this one I never had in mind to normalmap it, and that made the process harder later during the highpoly modeling, but I learned alot and hope to do a better model next time.

I love the model, reminds me of Warcraft III. I can't use normal maps so not sure how hard they are to do, but everyone else seems to think you have done well with them, very nice render.
