The next 3D project is to create a Roman era inspired gladiator that is need to be rigged later. After I saw the brief I immediately began to search for Gladiator and just learn how many types they have. There are eight different classes of gladiator: Thracian, Murmillo, Retiarius, Secutor, Velitus, Samnite, Dimachaerus and Laquerius.
The gladiator type I decided to take as my main inspiration is Secutor. They have dagger/Gladius as their weapon with armour on their arm and medium-sized shield.
First mood board: Main ideas for my gladiator character/weapons
Second mood board: colour pallet, art style references and real historical references
I wanted to make a female gladiator too and was worried and curious if there was any female gladiator back in Roman time. After some research, Women gladiators were only seen at exceptional festivals, according to ancient literature, to keep the female combatants more exclusive and appealing to the general public.
So the concept of this project is making a woman Secutor gladiator with the theme revolving around lion/lioness.
These ideas may have some change in the future but I am very satisfied with the concept so far, I feel like my art style might not suit 3d models but I will try my best!
