When creating the layout of these sets I made a paper doll set up, that way I could mix an match armour pieces to see how they would interact when equipped with each other.
This pass of the Venture armour set concepts. I Felt as if they where quite bland and needed some more character.
In this pass I liked the amount of detail and character it brought but received some feedback that there might be a lot of issues when it came to clipping in 3D and animation, calling for another pass of thumbs.
This pass of thumbs are the average people that would be found walking the streets of Aerish. Your butchers and bakers ect.
This pass of thumbnails is a slightly more refined lifestyle than the working class, so business owners or shop clerks. People with money but not much status.
This pass are the high society of Aerish, the Barons and owners of land with ties to the royal family and the hoarders of money and other wealth.
This armour was built by the Khraiax for an Aerishian, it posed unique design challenges as the Khraiax have a different body structure to the Aerishians and primarily use Chitin harvested from giant insects as plating.
This armour is made for and by the Khraiax. It fits there insectoid body structure. In the Khraiax culture hunting other giant insects and claiming there Chitin as trophies is a cornerstone. The bigger the armour the more impressive.
The Gron, a large tortoise like race, had crafted this outfit for the Aerishians crudely out of hide, leather and actual rock.
