The Eagle Knight, Sir Baldrich

A stalwart knight and righteous paladin, Sir Baldrich has sworn an unbreakable oath to serve the mighty Emperor Reinhard the Great. Faithfully serving as the Emperor’s right hand and foremost champion, Sir Baldrich has been instrumental in numerous battles fought to expand the domains of the Karovian Empire.
The armor was inspired by numerous sources including historical 15 and 16th century armor used for battle + parades, influence was also taken from some Roman armors and modern sporting armors. Inspiration also comes from several games I have been playing recently such as Helldivers 2 and an old game from the Sega Saturn called Dragon Force.
The concept art and heraldry for the character was done using a combination of Procreate and Photoshop, the character was sculpted / modeled using Zbrush and Blender, textures were done in Substance Painter, and rigging, posing, and rendering was done in Blender.
