I recently finished my master's degree in character modeling. This is one of my projects for the course. In this case the goal was to do a base modeling of complex parts in ZBrush, to combine the organic with the hard surface. Next I will explain the steps I followed to make this armor.
I start making in ZBrush the pieces of the armor. I follow an order, I go from inside to outside according to my reference image:

Some of the pieces I don't bother to polish them or give details, I will do that later in Maya.

I do retopology of the pieces, here I take care to give them the final aspect, and to create the loops in a correct way so that it is a smooth shape, and so that the pieces can be deformed well in the areas of the joints. Next I extract the UV maps for texturing.

To give it the final detail, I take the figure back to ZBrush, and sculpt in high poly the details that I want to project to the low poly model with a Normal map. (For example the holes in the helmet and the forearm).

I texture the character in Substance Painter, pose it with a basic rig, add lighting and render the final images.



In this video you can see how the pieces are assembled:

Good work, Pathfinder.
With this modelling I'm sure you'll find us a new home in the Heleus Cluster. Brilliant armour design. Looks like it has lots of Angaran influences, since initiative armours are generally built around human anatomy. Even the colors look distinctly Angaran.
I wonder what the stats for this armour would be in game?
Looks like it would me high for armour and tech, and low for biotics.
Normally I play heave into biotics.
Hands down a well done piece.
Love the detail on the jump jet.
You should model a few more and send your resume to Bioware. I'd be honored to use your armours in the next Mass Effect.
I'm commander Shepard... and this is my favorite artist on the Citadel.
I should go.
@lockhart665 Goood, that's the best comment I've ever heard. Thanks commander!
