Work In Progress - Carmilla Neck Piece Modelling (Patreon)

Hello there dear Patrons,

I'm working on the shoulder/neck piece for Carmilla's gown.

First, I started to sketch the main ribs in 3ds max to get some idea of the whole thing's proportions and came to some conclusions. 

• have make the shoulders higher - to match more the cartoon silhouette (Skyrim's t-pose has lowered arms which is helpful in this procedure)
• make the shoulder piece go further on the arms
• shorten the decollete decorations

Then I had to invent a bit like how the shoulder piece will be moving. I'd like to make it golden, thus it will be having some segments to provide freedom of movement. 

I'm also gathering some inspirations of what elements I can use to make the shoulder/neck piece have some nice golden details. And here are golden plates, scales for the moving parts and some golden chains for the linear elements. I'd like to make this whole part as a piece of jewelry and decorative armor for the shoulders.

Stay tuned for more wip info,

K.
