Oh my god, triple post... whatever.
The gloves and the shoulderpads are done(they really gave me issues, the gloves took me like 2 days to even figure out a good way to make and the shoulderpads required so much tweaking it's not even funny), sorry no images yet, I would like to post renders when the entire armor is done and uvmappable, oh and I completely scrapped the sci-fi design(might make the weapon somewhat sci-fi though, I don't know) so I erased the entire weapon, saved a huge amount of polygons, and instead just mirrored the mesh over so it now has two hands.
The mesh is about 3k tris at the moment, with the gloves and the shoulder pads, I'm aiming anywhere in between 4k - 6k tris depending on how deep the rest of the armor and the weapon is going to be.
And I currently feel like I suck by just seeing that Fletcher dominance war entry... One day I'll do stuff like that... One day ...
