The Emperor's superhuman bodyguards. Been sitting on this one for a while. This guy was mainly a test in how far I can get with just drawing normal map alpha details onto the mesh surface, without highpoly sculpting at all. Style-wise I sought to combine ideas from the Warhammer 40k tabletop miniatures with an older version of these characters seen in concept art pieces, as well as add some medieval/renaissance armor influences. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. I don't deal with fabrics or hair that much though, so the cloak and plume are very simplistic.
