Generic Townsfolk


Springheel

Recommended Posts

Here are some concept sketches for average, everyday townsfolk. These people are meant to pretty much blend into the background, so their outfits are fairly simple. Of course, they can also be used anywhere else generic characters are needed, like off-duty guards, lower class party guests, servants, etc.

 

I've tried to keep the designs similar to each other so that they can be modeled pretty easy. More to come later.

 

And if anyone is keeping track, these are based on 16th century fashion, mostly Flemish designs.

These will do for the other character modelers when they can be arsed doing some more.

For generic people like these, I prefer to model from photographs of real people wearing real historical costume, so I can get the most accurate detail in both model and texture.

Ok, Corth has signed on to do these two townsfolk models.

 

#1 Hood and shoulder cape with scalloped edges. Dark green coloured. Tunic is brownish-orange, thicker material, buttoned up the front with leather clasps and bone buttons. Tunic hem is orange. Leather strap tied around waist. Dark pants. Leather wraps around wrists and calves, tan coloured with thick clasps. Dark leather shoes.

 

#2 Shoulder cape is made of rough woollen material, dark colour

Tunic is earth tone in colour, ragged sleeves. Simple, dark-coloured hose with thick stitching. Leather shoes and hat. Clothing well worn with stains and patches.

 

I'll include more detailed versions of the hats later.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
