Description
Acrylic paint 70x100 centimeters
"Hunger and weakness are no bar to vengeance's call. I would find my slayers and send them back whence I came"
Also some outfit redesign. The original armour on realistic bodyshape too much resembled to a stormtrooper, and didn't wanted a warrior on foot all time clinging around in some heavy plate gear. So more leather and fabric, less metal.

Finally have to play that game. Bought Skyrim a while ago, I like the viking character and the 3rd person mode (getting shivers of first person games) but hadn't enough free time to play.
I don't think the original concept had much behind it than the contrast of black and white. Also the design was very simple but surely the maximum the graphics of that time made possible. ReadaptingΒ exactly the same concept to a realistic fashion results a stormtrooper.
Fantasy worlds allow a lot of freedom in armor design as magical warfare is also put into account. Nosgoth's world had a germanic feel. They had crossbows in BO2, and ranged weapons were used in BO1 though it was hard to identify what kind of stuff the enemies darted. I have fantasy armor designs for Kain, dome of them exaggerated, but here I considered the practical aspects, as he's wearing it all day so cannot be heavy, and have to move fast and silently, means no clinging, I reduced the metal parts and added more leather and fabric. Plus it can be taken on without help.

Not really the weight was the problem with his original gear, but it's unpractical look (dropped the bodysuit and metal underwear combination for first) . It was surely fine in 1996's CGI standards, by now it needed some rethinking.

Yup, I have design drawings for all of them and his disguise wear. And there's a lot left to do like his spells and designs for other characters.

Wow that looks Awesome^^
the Armor looks way better than that metal-can Kain is Stuffed in in the Game. Must be really heavy to wear that all the time

Yup, the oldie design needs some facelifting 
It was good in 1996 on the doll-like CGI characters (though Kain didn't looked any worse than the first Lara Croft model) but it wouldn't work by now. I didn't wanted to exaggerate his basic wear as he worn several magical weirdness later on, but for his basic armour I created something practical for a "homeless" wanderer in which he can move fast and silently and doesn't needs assistance to take it on and can walk around in it all day.

yeah I see what you mean^^
your New Design also wouldn't be that heavy as the original gear. His real armor looked like he would wear his own bodyweight in form of Metal on his body(If that make sense)
getting in and out alone would be impossible and lets face it, in that metal Underwear he was wearing it would be impossible to sit down comfy. IF he was even Able to sit down^^
sure it had to look nice because he was a noble etc. but its not a useful gear XD
this game really needs a remake...

If he was right, then it'd had been the shortest gameplay ever

well, they could've had that area as a tutorial and then made the rest of the world into an open world power fantasy sandboxΒ Β
