Avengers: Infinity War (2017) - War Machine MkIV Final renders

These were the final approved renders for War Machine MkIV. After the design sketch was approved, awesome modeler Adam Ross (https://www.artstation.com/adamross) did an initial ZBrush block-in of the front view, which I then sculpted over and refined proportion and surfacing, adding detail and break-ups. I then rendered out the rear view so I could paint over and develop some ideas for the back. Ultimately I ended up developing the back design directly in zBrush however, as shown in the final image of this series. When the MkV was canceled, I adapted the more elaborate backpack and weapons from that model onto this one, and with the addition of digicamo ended up with the final model as you see it here. I was very pleased with how faithfully reproduced the suit is in the movie. These images are rendered in Keyshot then painted over in Photoshop.
