Clad in intricately crafted mercenary armor, Tharok wields a jagged sword forged from a meteor's heart. Known for his unwavering honor and relentless combat prowess, Tharok is a legend in the mercenary world. Driven by a personal quest to uncover the secrets of his draconic ancestry.
This 3D model was created as part of a personal project to practice and improve my skills in character modeling, specifically focusing on the creation of armor and clothing.
The concept was based on several different aspects but it originated from the Dragonborn race from the Dungeons & Dragons universe. I have previously made a similar character that was outdated and I wanted to start fresh.
I went ahead and created a moodboard of concept arts that inspired me, either for the anatomy or to use as a reference for the gear or pose.
The armor was particularly challenging, as I wanted it to look both functional and aesthetically pleasing. I used a combination of hard surface modeling and sculpting to achieve the right look. The clothing was created in Zbrush as this was my first attempt at clothing and didn't want to simulate it.
