Very nice. I hope the shields get some wear and tear, scratches etc. showing their extensive use.

I love it! The total chain mail outfit paired with the fir and cloth along with the accenting plate gauntlets, pauldrons and greaves is a perfect mix of functionality and style. You even included the crossbow cocking stirrup!

The crossbow looks real, the quiver looks real and functional, the helmets look real and functional, the sword looks real, the scabbard looks real, I especially like the leather scabbard "frog" wrapping, the shield looks quite heavy though, hopefully it's made of hard wood or only thin steel, otherwise I doubt even a highly trained Thertian would be able to maneuver it effectively.

I must say, not only am I highly impressed, but I am totally stunned. It's beautiful. The attention to detail and realism is, wow, I want to say unparalleled. I can't wait to see what you guys do with the other factions. I'm rather afraid of facing those guys in battle, they look like they have got some pretty solid defense even without plate armor.

Proof you don't need flashy effects, giant swords and massive plate armour with shiny graphics to make something look exquisite and cool.

What that guy said


One extra thing though would be the inclusion of visually rendered non combat accessories such as a coin purse, water bladder, snack bag, only needs to be a subtle to reference the economic dependencies that even an non campaigning guard has.

I've claimed the arrows, bow and crossbow. Touch them, and you'll find yourselves killed everywhere in-game when EoC is out .

So it's just a concept art, I'm sure they can transfer the essence over to the 3D model and it'll be just as great.

Eh, I'm Senokan anyway, so you can have them. I want a Yumi and a pair of nice long knives. A rapier wouldn't hurt either.

a perfect mix of functionality and style.

Indeed.

[Kha-Ri]

Lovely.

Can we play yet! Heh. Very nice indeed!
