Samurai Fett

These are some images of an old character I modeled based on Clinton Felker's Samurai Boba Fett illustrations. The character was modeled using Autodesk Maya and Z Brush. The chest piece I found to be the most complicated as it involved modeling multiple pieces and placing straps or small ropes in between each of the individual pieces, in order to replicate patterns seen in traditional samurai armor. I chose to use Felker's design because even though it is a fantasy piece, heavily inspired by Star Wars, it is still rooted in history to a degree, allowing to create something other worldly with an authentic feel.
