skull for modeling heads, gonna use it as a guide.

Spoiler

Always good to know basic anatomy to model humans. Fits your Da Vinci avatar 
You didn't make the mastoid process (the bone behind the ear), and the back of the head looks a bit long (or I'm being pedantic).
Other than that it looks exactly like the ones in my anatomy books.

@Tatari_okan:

Nice work on the feather.

Don't know if it's a WIP, but it needs attention on the mail/helmet transition, just make an extrusion or something, so the mail will look like it is slightly in other plane than the helmet.

The details are lined black, and are very pointy. Round them and try to blend the color of the lines with the metal below it.

Adding some depth to some parts (such concavities) would give it a more interesting look.

Also, try working around the feather insertion. Adding a noseguard would be good too.

Thanks for comments and suggestions. Yes, it is still in progress, but I haven't planned what I'm going to do on this model that much, and not working on it disciplined way (I  make some changes and add somethings when I get bored). Here is how it looks like right now:

Oh man, thanks. I didn't even notice it, I used fairly darkish reference couldn't see it. Thanks!

I have a question: sometimes textures get this green'ish colour in daylight.

This is from Napoleonic Wars:
 

This is daylight - slightly green shadow.


This is dusk - looks fine.


It only has a normal map, no specular, and only happens to some textures.

Does anyone know why that happens?

 

[Beobart]

It´s the shader probably you use, "specular_shader_skin_bump_high". Normally a scene prop has the "static_bump" shader or "bump_static", i am not sure, a disadvantage is that you can´t use a specular which make every prop darker, than it should be. I have no solution for that problem.

Something you can see for skinned characters is that Taleworlds tried to fake ambient lighting... If most of the ground in a scene is grass, you'll have some green-ish lighting from below and possibly the sides.

 

[Mammoet]

You can try using either the static bump or the standart_shader_bump_high_no_terrain_color (not sure about the exact name). Those shaders don't take into account the ambient light from the ground. All other standart_ specular_ and nospecular_ shaders do have ambient light from the ground. The ground ambient color depends on the ground type the object is on, so if you'd put it on snow it will probably be white.

 

[Adorno]

Thanks. 

It initially had a specular shader. Tried removing the specular to fix it, but forgot to change shader.
It looks fine now with 'standart_shader_bump_nospec_high_noterraincolor'.

Nice. Is that for the 485 Darkness Rising Mod?

 

[Adorno]

It's for me trying to get better at modeling 
(and possibly a secret project...)

My first blender model with textures!

I added chichak version of the helmet. Still in progress.

I think it will look awesome with normal map, but try to soften the lines

You mean I shouldn't use hard edges or I should lighten drawn lines a little bit?

It is finished for now, maybe I work on it some other time if I want. Sorry for picture, while I made background transparent, also the model was effected.

Edit: Better picture.

That bottom picture flashes blue and pink when you scroll! D:

I have fixed cheekguard's uvmap and texture.

[Sayd Ûthman]

I meant you should make the drawn edges at the top part of the helmet rounder, otherwise it looks awesome

 

[Jaakko]

Guess I should post something here too.

So, here is Spanish influenced church and house;

The textures might seem a bit blurry in some places.

 

[Sayd Ûthman]

man, they are awesome, and i'm quite interested in those
