Description
New addition for my First Contact War universe.
Building up some more on the equine side. I first started out with the idea of an action scene, which rolled into the problem of the time it takes to make such a scene without having a design for the armours. So I wanted to make armour... that turned into Zebra with armour in a scene rather than specific focus on the armour.
I stuck to these 4, making an entire group in the background felt like a bit too much work (Lazy monkey).
Secondary challenge for me was trying out a wide open light setting. Some landscape, although the landscape took a slight wrong direction. It was way out of balance with the characters I sketched, the perspective was way of. You can see the difference in the WIP down below.
Anyhow. It was fun to make these designs. I often make armour in the direction of European medieval times. In the back of my mind I do wonder about the other cultures, Asian for example, but in this case African, and Africa in the broadest sense, from Morocco, to Egypt, to South Africa. Kinda bits and pieces from here and there.
Making these took me a while, though. Maybe longer than I expected for the quality finish that it has. But, nonetheless, a result.
Approx Time: 16 hours? (Would have to check on the recordings to be sure)
Time Lapse: Pending

I actually really like this, for some reasons Zebras have always fascinated me. the clothing/ armour look absolutely amazing, and you done a great job at making them each look different.... Love it
