This one was a collaboration with a friend, https://www.artstation.com/inglourious_hoko
He helped on an early block out and anatomy, sculpting the plates with faces and ornaments etc, I handled the rest of the zbrush > low poly > textures and skinning.
This boss posed a bit of a milestone technical wise for Dark Souls mod creation as he has custom hkx ragdoll mesh and skeleton, took a fair amount of work. Still heavily WIP in terms of the actual fight mechanics/boss room etc but he's shaping up to be cool (pun intended).
The sword is a reference to Excellector from Kings Field, a sword that grew in size during a progression.
