Yasuke
This is my final project for the Mentorship term at Think Tank Online. It is based on Yasuke, a historical person who is said to be the first and only African samurai who served under Oda Nobunaga during the 16th century. It's inspired by various real-life and movie references. A huge thanks goes to my mentor and friend Yarrid Henrard (It was an awesome time!)
I also want to refer to Paul Widelski's fantastic polycount thread which I have probably treated like a bible for this project.

Added some African tribal pattern to the armor to give it a little fun detail
