Phaethon Brutus is a character I made back in 2023, and each year I’ve come back to improve upon his design; hence why his armor is classified as MK.III. He is a 7 foot tall space gladiator equipped with a gigantic anti tank rifle, entrenching tool he uses for melee, and a rapid fire SMG. I originally designed him for a Lancer playtest game but he has gone on to become my go to sci-fi character, and serve as a basis for me to create more sci-fi fantasy hybrid armor in the future. The armor was modeled using a combination of Blender and Zbrush, the animation rig was custom made in Blender, the Textures were done in Substance 3D Painter, and the concept art, and all the alphas I made were done using both Photoshop and Procreate. This project was completed in December 2025 and took about a month of work.
