Medieval European Mod II Preview

[Quinzy]

Torcs were golden bands worn around the neck, yes. The Irish fought naked except the torc, and seeing as they were head hunters, an item that is worn around the neck seems a good idea, both practically and ritualistically.

I just realized though, it should be probably much smaller. Looks like it was about to fall with a slight movement of the body.

 

[Quinzy]

Tighter, yes. and thicker too, i guess

 

[utahjazz7]

Thanks

Also, hopefully the final version of Lorenzo de Medici, with an Italian cap. This guy caused a lot of problems with lights and shadows so it was changed numerous times and is still not rendered :suicide:

Hmm . . . I prefer the version without the cap to be honest.

 

[Plotinus]

I think I prefer Lorenzo without the cap too.

The Swedish chap looks fantastic. Definitely keep the flower if possible!

I'm really impressed at how you manage to match not only the faces but also the outfits so closely.

 

[Lord Cooper]

hundred years' war woooot woott! cant waittt!!

 

[Stormrage]

Now that you mention it, I think I too prefer Lorenzo without the hat. But I think the swedish guy looks great!

One thing I think is important with Gustav Vasa is his silly haircut. "My mother put a pot on my head and cut off every hair that peaked out."

If you get that right I think he will be very good. However, the background looks more like Khazad Dum than anything Swedish I can think of?

As to Lorenzo, I think that the hat looks a bit too small, maybe increase that in size a bit?

I think that such a haircut was quite popular in the first part of the 20th century as well, for young boys

 

[Yoda Power]

Man, I go away for one weekend and you manage to do all this!

I prefer Lorenzo with the hat though.

Rock on!

 

[embryodead]

Thanks to mrtn's help, Vasa 2.0

As far as Lorenzo goes, I figured a hat would be nice since without anything he hardly looks italian - unless you know paintings of him. But maybe not. It definitely causes problems with shadows, the same ones that utahjazz7 mentioned earlier (the hat's brim doesn't cast shadows so the forehead is bright)

 

[Partizanac]

But why can't I see the end of that "Shirt?"
It looks like its a part of his skin!

 

[LMR]

Combination of big beard and turtleneck shirt?

Looks great ED

embyrodead@ You did both things I predicted, straightned me out on that conquests matter ("flavours" thread) and in the short time I was actually away from this oven, you cooked up some of de best sh#t Ive ever seen. (you know where I mean)

Much respect, and sorry to you and Yoda for the hassle, disputing the facts for some ill-contrived theory.

thank ya both for this effort and politly putting up with my comments

E.d., that Gustav Wasa looks great

You wouldn't by any change need the Warship Wasa?

 

[Stormrage]

Oh, I like the new one with the funny hair Very authentic

You wouldn't by any change need the Warship Wasa?

As much as I'd love to, it's 17th century

You could nevertheless build it, if you want to.
