A while back some moron got it into his head that the world of Skyrim would be better with Batman in it and decided to make an armour mod in blender to accommodate just such a belief. The mod was good and has had over 10k downloads and for all intents and purposes it was done. A couple of years later that same moron opened his folder of reference shots for said project and decided to start smushing together various things he liked from some of the sketches and winging together the rest of it. And this is what came out of it.
This render uses the low poly version of the mesh (which may or may not wind up as a skyrim armour mod depending on if I can be bothered with the effort involved in making it) and I even went to town and made up some spec and A/O maps to go along with the diffuse and normal maps. I set up a basic environment in cycles with 3 point lighting and wallah. I like it. Plan now is rig this, build a scene and get a dramatic shot with some night atmospheric lighting.
