Re: deathknight (start drooling now )

Summary: Match up the spikes.

Hmmm, I'd shorten the back spike on each shoulder pad for a rhinoceros look. Then I'd shorten the inner spike of each glove for a similar effect. And finally, I'd take out every other spike on the boots starting with the top (keep the kneepads, they're fine) and down to the bottom until there's 2 on the outside, 3 on the inside (the bottom ones acting like calvary spurs).

Option 2: keep the spikes, swap the gloves for mufflers (same armor set as the solleret boots) and give them the same spike treatment as the boots.

Re: deathknight (start drooling now )

okay It took me 2 days to find a single reference picture of the armor from vay (one of the main references I used to make this armor) And heres what it looks like ...theres a lot more spikes in the armor than what is pictured but... god help you if you try to find pictures for this armor...Ive looked EVERYWHERE.....if anyone finds any good pictures of that armor PLEASE!!..send one my way. Hard to find pictures on a game that they not only made very few of....it was also for a doomed system ..the sega cd lol...anyways heres the armor reference and why I have so many huge spikes etc (body design = VAY, and the color scheme and patterns = dragonforces junon (she was ruler so i gave her patterns that complimented her as a ruler, and added a few things as if she was visiting vana'diel from her kingdom.

EDIT: no friggen clue why but.. it wont let me save this pic in JPG or even convert it to JPG ...as a bmp pic it tried to download instead of just show the pic ....wierd..

Okay i figured it out lol..im a noob to photoshop still you know
image mode was indexed color instead of RGB..guess that changes what types of file i can make them huh?

Re: deathknight (start drooling now )

hmm... I have just started playing growlancer generations and ...Ive found yet another armor I like ..I think ill be making this soon as well once my monitor comes back ..most likely Ill use the gold parts from my deathknight and maybe the pld gear but...I will change the actual model of it to look close to this but ..I am not looking to make this EXACT ..I would like it to be a bit ...heavier armor instead of ..thin looking.

Re: deathknight (start drooling now )

Damnit, daba...get rid of the symmetry, please.

If you're going for true "dark" knight, symmetry is not evil...and technically, neither is a pinkish-red cape with yellow hi-lites. That's just reminiscant of Braveheart, not death and destruction.
I know you can do it. You've got the right idea. Just quit following Robot pictures and start thinking about what spooks people more. Leave the badass, streamlined armors to the Dragoons. They need to be sleek and stylish. Dark Knights need to be fear inspiring and chaotic.
What creeps people out in the media more? Is it the creature with the double horns and the glowing eyes, or is the creature with the multi-spiny jawline and one eye slightly askew, seeming to drip down its groutesquely mangled face.
Think along the lines of "Clash of the Titans" -vs- "Spawn". Too young to remember "Clash of the Titans"? Noones ever too young...

Re: deathknight (start drooling now )

lol about the symmetry ...trust me, Id love to make things that dont have that...however...Ive yet to figure out how to do this... thats why everything Ive done is symmetrical. If anyone could explain to me how thats done, I'd love to try your idea out on a revamped drk, however ....Most likely it would involve VRS and....I suck at that program

Re: deathknight (start drooling now )

Have you happened upon my easy to use tutorial for VRS located on Kilandor's site in the Tutorial Section? It will magically make you NOT suck at VRS and help to achieve the goal you seek, Grasshoppah. And, if you still have problems using VRS to simply add vertices and then modify then in accordance with my superb Instruction, PM me on here instead of wasting your thread space and try to coach ya a bit.
