Boss Base - Temple

This is the other base for the maze level (the first is the sphinx). It's not painted yet.

Ogrion - Boss Character

I have finished modelling and unwrapped one of the boss characters, Ogrion. He's an Ogre with some lion gear on. About 3000 polys with his club. It's taken me over 30 hours so far. Still have to paint him, make his bones/animation rig, and then do the actual animation. At least another 30 hours.

 

These aren't his final colours. They're just so I can see what I am doing. 

I can't decide which colour to make his skin. The gloves, pants, head-dress and boots will be done like lion fur. The neck dress will be like the Egyptian pharaoh thing.

Ogrion Model

I've done the basic model for Ogrion, one of the boss characters. He's about 3300 polys. I'll need to reduce that to about 2000 for the game, but then add a heap of detail for the cinematic.

Here he is at 2700 polys including his clothes and club.

Ogrion - Boss Character

I'm making one of the 'Boss' characters that will defend one of the capture points. It's an ogre with an Egyptian lion god bent. I have to make it in low poly/res for the game, then redo it in hi-res for a cinematic.

This is my reference art that I have designed ... His name is Ogrion.
