King Arthur Concept

[exStatic1]

UT is a pretty sweet game and I always thought the armor suits on the characters were so over the top and awesome, the design you've got going so far looks pretty good, I really like the way you drew the helmet, howbout some higher res pics? If you draw the rest of the suit the same way I think it'll turn out amazing! Are you planning on adding a background, or is this just for the mod?

Thanks exStatic1! Unreal 3's Character designs are awsome and very detailed indeed. The multiplayer modes rock! Especially Warfare! I just wish the single player mode was more story driven like Gears of War. I might add a simple background to this later or maybe i'll just do a second render thats more dramatic. Will post hi-rez pics on my next update.

Looks like you've been holding out on us, judging from your avatar...I want to see it

Hi stuh505! Well I don't have much to show you except some doodles of the Torso piece. I just did a quick edit of the helmet here for my avatar, hehe! Been a bit busy with work and other things. I'll update this as soon as I can. Can't wait to begin the modeling phase...:D

The bloom effect is only temporary, It's on a different layer so I can tone it down if necessary.

hi master! great post you have here. It nice to see a knight in cool colors unlike the usual one with dark color pattern. However, I think it would look like the real "knight in shining armor" hehehe and it would lose a lot intensity rather than it would have more of a kind, nice valiant approach which is very visually friendly for kids. that's me of course but its a wip and it would be nice if you could still make it more intense and scary wise without losing your touch to your preferred color patterns. will wait for the update hehe

Hi Redice! Glad to see you here! Thanks for the tips. I intentionally didn't make the design of this character too fearsome and intimidating because I want it to have a heroic image. I want people to see it as like what you have written, "a knight in shining armor". Someone who is pure, just and incorruptible. Basically a genuinely good person...that can kick ass!:D I chose a gold and royal blue color combination because I think it best represents these qualities. I'll tone down the saturation of the colors eventually, right now I'm just focusing on nailing down the overall design of the character. I've attached below a screenshot of a UT3 character to give you an idea of the style i'm going for. C&C's are welcome and appreciated.

Hi!

I think this golden last version is the best, even that red cross suggest me a bit of templar!! Maybe you should take care a bit with that, but is just an idea, if you don't mind, then go ahead. Actually the colors suit very well :)

Keep on working on it :D

[pongstah]

Hi Valkiria! Your right it does look more like a templar. I'm thinking of just calling it that -templar/ crusader since I don't want to get rid of the crosses. Thanks!

I made a version with no helmet. C&C's are welcome.

The anatomy of the arm is incorrect, and the armor as painted would severely restrict movement, rather than protect in battle.
