The Spartano (CLOSED)

This is my project for the contest: The Spartano.

Based on a real-life spartan armor suit, this character is a monster of the Greek epoch.

I'm trying to write a little story of him:

"The Spartano" was the best greek-spartan army commander in the entire greek land who's killed during a battle close to Persia. Hades gives him another possibility to live but under another aspect: after the resurrection, he will be like a monster, with four arms and a huge and massive body, hard to defeat and with massive energy and force.

In this thread, I'm posting just a PureRef's screenshot of my references, later I'll update it with some news about my character. I'm modeling the character with Zbrush and after I'll make the retopo with Maya and texturing with Painter and rendering in Toolbag. I really hope I can arrive at the end of the contest with a good character! Good luck to everyone!

Nice references. Gonna be a cool character!

CONTEST ENTRY DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JANUARY 15, 2021

Some contest participants have been giving feedback that they may not have time to complete their projects, or may have to take shortcuts to make the November 30th deadline. 

To relieve some of this anxiety and give artists more time to do the quality job they want, RenderHub has decided to extend the entry period deadline to January 15, 2021. 

We thank you all for participating! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.  

Good morning to everybody!

Attached a retopology made with Autodesk Maya.

That looks like some clean topology. Nice!

FYI: I answered your question over here, too:
