Ulryden Warrior
Over the summer, the artists had their first directed focus studies class, our assignment being to combine hard surface and organic modeling into one model. After much searching, I ran across a few concepts by Jimmy Xu that interested me and I thought I would try to challenge myself to recreate it as much as possible.

| Art by Jimmy Xu Since this was the first time I had ever done anything like this, I looked around for good reference in to how to model this as cleanly as possible. The characters from Assassins Creed II, specifically the Brute, caught my eye as I thought the design and armor function was comparable. |
I also found some good reference for how armor works, specifically how to tackle the gauntlets.
The final piece turned out really well and, I think, captured the spirit of the concept and its intended setting.
I learned a great deal from this project, which is I think the intended purpose. I am looking forward to the next semester to gauge how much I have grown as an artist.
