EXO Armour

This one's taken me a while to do - just painting at lunchtimes and here and there in the evenings. Really pleased how he turned out although I keep seeing areas I want to tidy up or improve, but I have to stop somewhere :)

It's based on a character design I did for the VR game Gunsight by Climax Studios, a side-scrolling shooter which works surprisingly well in VR! I wanted to go back and revisit the armour design and make it meaner and more imposing.

Created entirely in Photoshop with no 3D, so lots of drawing and redrawing to get it looking right. I agonised over colour for ages and went for a kind of desert paint job in the end. I might still go back and do some variants with a more vibrant colour scheme but I like the muted, simplicity of the colours, complementing the chunky and purposeful armour shapes.
