The following is an account of armor makage.
When last showing off some armor I was asked how it was done/where it started... So I dug up the previously saved versions of the file.


Hand drawn (took about 1 & 1/2 hours) notice the left and right sides are different design styles... the idea was two have two variations of the same armor. (which may just come later)


Some colorization, a bit of constrasting and lighting.

Sepia tone, a bit of smoothing and constrasting.

A bit of colorizing, resized to 256x256 copied portion of the left side and mirrored to the right, this was done so that any alpha blending wouldn't give me texture problems on the mirrored skin.

Enlargifieded added some light noise on a transparent layer.

6+ hours of work on a size 1 pixel darken/lighten tool, and a touch of color/lighting.

The mesh:

textures made from drawings are always freakin' awesome (if the person can draw) and you can.

Use that model as is, nothing inside and put it in a haunted castle co-op map.... just my random babble

Problem is, it's so good looking that it would seem out of place.

Awesome from start to finish

You leave for an extended period of time, don't call, don't write, and then you just COME BACK out of nowhere and drop this awesome thing in our proverbial lap. I have only one thing to say:

Hey, thanks for the comments guys... No Craig, I wasn't really intending to put it into JO/JA, I don't have either :-\ I am planning on doing my own character scheme and design. Going along the same lines as morrowind, but hopefully improving on it.

Depending on how well it works out, and how well my site does, I'll either attempt my own game project, or look to sell the character design, but that's farther down the road. I'm not really concerned about what to do with it, I just want to make some cool armor.
