Snakes

The Snake Cult needs some female armors despite women wearing the same armor that men do.  I am starting off with two great female models, one of which is worn by Boadice.  I assume the other variant of this armor is worn by Veccavian soldiers.

To start, first things first.  The snake cult colors are White and Green.  I need to start by masking off the chainmail and replacing it with a white cloth.  Then I will try and add arm plates that run down similar to the other snake armors.  Here is an image of the armor as it is now.



Was Stymied with the model above, but luckily 4leaf finished a helmet for me to work on.  The snakes are nearing some form of completion.  You can watch as the helmet changes as well.



This helmet is a shockingly hard thing to texture, I cant tell you how many versions I went through until I arrived at this.  So I learned how to use two embossing layers to make the shadow cast in the desired sides, notice it isn't uniform.  These troops are supposed to be terrifying, so I am adding in the darker bits to both match the armors it goes with and add a little intimidation factor.  Mind you the third image is simply a draft to judge balance with.
