Ghoul Armored Boots

Ghoul Hunter is unlike any other hunters out there in the Galaxy. Most of his battles are in the field with masses of enemies ready to jump on him and tear him to pieces.
Needless to say the usual Chicken claw sandals wouldn't work in these conditions. So he will need total foot protection with these Armored Field Boots.

Its the same reason why we don't see present day soldiers wear sandals or slippers in the battle field.

I've started sculpting this already

Presenting....

Part of Ghoul Hunters back up arsenal of Poison Daggers.
These he keeps close to his body in case any of his primary weapons fail. Also has special meaning to him.

GAH! It's been like forever since I've been on here.
So, Mike, not to step on prospective demi-god (read: you) toes, but I have had this idea of a central blade powered by an old plasma caster, similar in scope to the tail daggers, but actually focuses the remaining "heat" discharges into a sort-of plasma blade, cutting and cauterizing EVERYTHING... What say you good sir?

 

[Garo Predator]

Haha. You can PM me for those kind of comments

Re: Shoulder Armor
This shoulder armor will be the toughest one to pin down. The rest will be pretty straightforward hard work.
I've evolved it a bit and I'll keep posting the pics. Its a good way to track the "mental progress" of the sculpt to see how big of a difference the evolved idea is.

Upon looking for inspiration I got some crazy ideas floating in my head like "what would the Black Super Predator's armor look like?"
and I keep thinking of this action figure Garo: Kiba

More can be seen here

Garo lol thaaats meee!!!

Actually in the movie Chronicles of Riddick there was a plasma Dagger design Riddick was supposed to use instead of that "normal" dagger that was scrapped from production due to high special FX cost.
The idea was similar to what you've described. This plasma dagger of yours will fit my Dragon Hunter more cuz its just more technological.

Ghoul Hunter is more "down to earth, Primal and Practical" kind of hunter warrior.
Thanks for your idea though I may make one in the near future

I'd like to see you start a thread on this WIP. It'd be cool. I'll chime in later- much later. I'm swamped right now.

OK Back to sculpting the Boot!

 

[Uratz]

Work in Progress. Slaved all day over this. Still got more to go.
Kinda getting there.

 

[ancientpredator]

Looking awesome Uratz

Always always like daggers, especially the odd or fanasy ones.
I also have something with the chronicals of Riddick, especially how they are dressed ect.

looks good mike, but IMO i like your drawing with the two bulky "toes" better than the four skinny "toes" you have now. but that's just My opinion.

Yeah I might change it. I'm not feeling the design as well. Its good to let the design sit for a while and look at it the next day.
