This is really nice, I love the look of this!

Thanks (: much appreciated.

Had some spare time so I created an axe based on the concept art for Dain II Ironfoots axe (the boar riding dwarf king from the Hobbit):

Created the helmet from the same concept art sheet:

960 triangles. C&C welcome (:

Looks excellent. The material on the “feathers” on top is quite metallic but I guess those things could be made of metal. Did you use Substance?

Thanks! Those are supposed to be hair, I think I overdid the anisotropic secondary glossiness layer when trying to make them look kind of stiff (like the fur of the boar that they are supposed to resemble). And yes, everything in this thread from the swords on was textured using substance painter.

Had some more fun with the concept:

Missing the head and a huge beard (: I’m also not quite fond of the fur coat yet.

Now with 100% more beard:

The beard looks too flat in my opinion…

Fluffed up the beard a bit, posed him, remapped the textures to one set and brought into UE4 for rendering:
