GHOST OF TSUSHIMA - Ghost Armor set

The Ghost armor set is the most iconic and recognizable of Jin'as armor sets. This was one of the first costumes we created for Jin and is featured in many of our key art concept pieces as well as our box art. This costume represents Jin's transition from his honorable samurai ways to the dishonorable ways of the Ghost. I created the textures and lookdev for this armor while working closely with concept art to retain their vision. The costume encompasses materials and patterns that are reminiscent of both traditional samurai armor as well as miscellaneous torn and worn items that Jin has picked up a long his way. He wears a battle worn sashimono banner with clan Sakai's mon still visible.

For the Ghost armor dyes, I decided to play with types of metals as well as the traditional "samurai red" lacquered wood to create unique aspects of each colorway. The platinum dye was created to reward the player for completion of our game so we wanted to bring out bold patterning and fine silk materials.
