So it's been a while since I've actually posted progress for the goblin. Been really busy with school and this game project I've been working on for a while now. My schedule finally cleared up though so I managed to get a few armor pieces roughed in. I'm sticking pretty close to my original reference with this one so the progress has been pretty quick. I think I've dumped maybe two hours into what I have so far which isn't too bad though I would like to get much faster at this process.
So I really liked the back part of my original reference image because it really gives him an extra slouched over feel and I wanted to carry that over to my model. Right now it still sort of looks like a rolly-poly bug (do those have an actual name?) is humping his giant back but I think if I pull those edges out more it will make it seem more like they are plated sheets instead of an erotic bug. I still need to make the sharp attachments on the back, make his shin guards, and possibly give him a gauntlet on one of his hands to give em some sort of asymmetry (cuz that's never been done in the history of art).
Once those are in place I'm done blocking out the hard surface stuff and I'm moving onto straps and leather-work which I have next to no experience with so this should be fun! I might also get his weapons modeled/sculpted out, so stay tuned :)
