Legacy of Kain - Janos Audron
The first character in this project that I would tackle, back in 2022. I used Janos as a template for the ancient vampire race's various clothing styles and imagined Janos would wear some of these himself throughout his 1000s of year long lifespan. Main inspiration sources were of course the original games where the character appeared, as well as roman, greek, aztec and traditional japanese clothing styles.
Warrior class outfit
Vampire tribune outfit
Vampire priest of the Wheel of Fate. This style in particular is inspired by traditional aztec attire named tilamtli
Janos after being freed by Kain in BO2. I imagined him to be of quite grimm nature after being held prisoner and tortured for centuries.
this was the actual first version that I finished. Don't ask me about the sword, I just wanted to try and look what size I could go with until it started to look too ridiculous BUT it was inspired by actual japanese swords known as Nodachi and Odachi
