I wanted to add some detail to the Archers top shoulder plate. From researching on forums and talking with friends I discovered a new trick: The inflate tool.
Inflating is a quick fire way that the detail can be pulled out in one go using the masking tool and the inflate tool under the Deformation palette. On the shoulder plate, I masked out the area I wanted to sculpt and then inverted it. The inflate tool then will not push out the areas that are masked off. The inflate tool can be found in the Deformation palette. It is something to be used carefully because it can very easily expand too much and look wrong.
This is the inflated shoulder plate. It is now ready for finer sculpting, to make it look neater and clean up the tip, which didn't quite work. The outside band will eventually be metal and the inside a thick scaled leather.
