Consuming Fire= Caltar Weapons

Claymore of Aonghas Campbell


Aonghas Campbell  is a minor lord of the Caltari realm. His father is the steward of Redmont and Aonghas has been disinherited as its lord. He has taken to selling and buying slaves to make his way in the world. Before leaving his fathers keep he stole the family sword a great two handed claymore, used by his grandfather to fight in the long ago drakon wars that ravaged most of the known world.

The Claymore.



First attempt at making the claymore, I used a image from the internet as reference. Wasn't very satisfied with the cross guard so I had another go.

 High poly and low poly versions of the claymore.


Maya kept crashing when i was trying to texture the claymore so i just slapped a couple of dirty blinns on instead for now.


Knights shield




Battered shield from the Caltar realm. This shield is mainly used by the noble knights of the realm, the cavalry use round bucklers which are easier to use on horseback. This shield is heavy and costs a lot of money.

Bucklers


 Just some quick buckler concepts. Bucklers are very small in comparrison to the larger knights shield and provide less cover in a battle but are easier to maneuver and are much lighter in weight.


Low poly versions of both the bucklers. The one on the right is full metal, the one on the left is wood reinforced by steel rivets and boss.

New character. Aonghas Campbell.


 Full body low poly count.


 Now got to get started on making his clothes and boots. Will eventually texture him and add his goatee and hair.

Along with his fathers heirloom sword Aonghas Campbell has a buckler and a dirk in his boot. The great two handed sword does require two hands to properly wield but wanted to show off both of his weapons.

Lochaber axes

 quick low poly snapshot of my lochaber axe.

 Size of lochaber axe compared to a standing figure.

Just some more snapshots of what I've created so far for Aonghas. working on his clothes at the moment. he has a kilt as most of the Caltar peoples and a leather tunic covering a mail top. He has knee high boots also made from leather as well as a cloak which can be used as extra warmth or a scarf to keep the biting winds out.

Some more shield designs

Consuming Fire- Dark Elves update

Dark Elves update


I wasn't happy with my original try at my dark elf warriors so i had another go. Still not entirely happy with the helmet but think i can live with it at this point.


 Half coloured concept of Dark elf beserker. Dark elves are a 'bluish' color and have their home world and stars on tattooed on them.


 Close up of beserkers face and helm.

Some new snapshots of dark elf beserker. Will be doing some more tweaking in regards to clothes and will texture the model as well.

Old concept of dark elf warrior. Same design as the beserker but with more armour like shoulder pads and mantle.




Original model of dark elf. Made the shoulder pads way to large and just wasn't functioning as well as i would have liked.



Still have to work on rest of armour and boots. I changed the helmet design slightly and made the shoulder pads smaller which work much better with the story and with the balance of the character.
