hey guys,

it is a long time ago i posted some stuff from me.
as the lead character artist of settlers i was very busy. after having finished the game finally i want to share some chars i made.
a few of them are based on concepts from vance kovacs who provided us with some awesome sketches in the beginning, the others are from my ideas.

Above you see my lovely Lady Plunder - Kestrel.
inspiration was san with her mask from princess mononoke.

Technical infos:
The knights have around 1700 tris + 1400 for their mounts.
Knight and Mount are painted together on a 1024*1024 texture page with alpha and a specular map.

for normal settlers we used up to 900 tris and a 512*512 texture page with alpha.
let me know what you think....

Lady Healing - Alandra:

Knight Trade - Elias:

Knight Song - Thordal:

some other chars -
Herbgatherer:

Smokehouse Worker:

Spouse Thick:

Spouse Thin:

This was made as a hero-character for the Addon of the RTS-game
"The Settlers - Heritage of Kings"
at the beginning of 2005.

This char has a completely painted 1024*512 texturemap + specularmap on 2300 faces in two versions. One with and without his hood.
The most fun was the designing phase. I just got some characternotes and had to make an interesting bounty hunter.

this model was made for a friends game called "die orks" he is planning to develop.
it took me a few month to complete because i worked in my limited free time on it.
i love the warhammer, confrontation and blizzard style and always wanted to create a similar character.
some technical info:
Polycount: 3523 Faces
Texturepage: 1024*1024 for color and alpha
