Soldiers of Boletaria

Boletaria Soldiers are another example of characters that needed to stay very close to the proportions of the original game.
They are peppered throughout the first main level of the game, and thus have variant weapon and armor types. Crossbow Archers, Swords men, Pike men, and Axe wielding soldiers. As these would sometimes be in groups of 2-4 or more, we needed to create variants while not pushing too far from what made them recognizable as an "enemy type". To do this we used early versions of the character creator heads, so that they would be able to emote and feel like all the other characters within the game.

Much Respect to FromSoftware for making such and amazing classic.
Big thanks to Japan Studio for the opportunity to help share it with the world once again.
