Guts cosplay (Real life 3D modelling and actual 3D modelling)
An odd project it seems to put up on Artstation, however I wanted to show off my 3D modelling skills that I have developed over the past few years and how I have used them in my hobby of cosplay. I've only posted photos of parts where I used 3D modelling for but if you are interested in seeing more visit https://www.facebook.com/ForgeOfTheFenix/
Everything in this costume I made and painted by myself and I was incredibly happy with the results. I feel I nailed the overall silhouette of Guts and hit every possible detail in the design, down to all of the real leather work and the construction of making this wearable. It's actually the comfiest costume I own!
I used a pipeline of Creating high and low poly meshes in Zbrush via sculpting and box modelling methods, transferring these to Pepakura (A program that creates UV layouts for use in papercraft hobbies) and then transferring and constructing these designs out of EVA foam.

Pauldrons- Painted vs Unpainted
A 3D scan of the boots I decided to wear for the costume so I could accurately sculpt around them in 3D space so the models fit perfectly

Throwing knives and breastplate clasps were also 3D modelled and printed
