:latest update:
Nia - spirit of the child
Since time began it was the ability of the children to bring their fantasy to life, this power dies with the puberty. During the last years of war, all strong warriors of the clans died, almost 60% of the planet was destroyed now.
So the elders of the remaining clans decided to train the kids abilities to fight side by side with their parents.
Girls have always been the ones with the strongest fantasy, and there she is, Nia child soldier for tribe of the Earthpeople.
Cute as a button but with the ability to summon the strongest creatures with the power her thoughts.
concepts will follow
I'm heading for either invoker or clericon
too bad it's forbidden to build shaders with nodes, everyone working with U3 is fucked then... guess i'll have to take a closer look into crysis' material system, or take a closer look on xnormal, we'll see...

Nice to c u man.
Haven't see U for a long time
Go kick some ass XD
updated the first post
Also, what technological level is her tribe at?
Right now i'm not sure whether to go a more human way or not, right now i tend to do it.
If her summoned creatures are material or imaterial is also unclear, depends on what shaders the allowed engines can give me. So it could be more spiritual or maybe something like rock creatures, summoned from the ground, which adds more depth to the earthbound thing.
But i'm still no fan of this "no shader editing" rule, it binds me to a vertain look, i'm not comfortable with this at all.
really hard for me to start from scratch...
i should do the conceptstuff directly in 3d in zbrush
hu what? i kept posting here from time to time dunno if the old "what are you working on" thread still exists

Silly me, its prolly me who is not login often enough
Child is a cool idea, anyway relevant to upcoming re5?
i decided to better work on the basic 3dcharacter, even though i think the "no premade basemeshes" rule is more then just a little stupid, i made a quick new basemesh, to not hear any complaints about cheating, it would have saved me half an hour and would be way more fun but whatever...

(i don´t want to go too deep, but should a 2d-artist make every brush new for this comp? ... no!)
however:
she´s cute
but i would try more 2d-stuff.. traing gogogo
and bc i want to choose a, b, c or d *G*
keep on .. always like your z-brushing
realy no one cares if you save half an hour or not, IF its yours AND realy a basemesh

And i think it shouldn't even have to be your basemesh, i mean using arshs basemesh to create something new shouldn't be forbidden. Basemeshmodelling is just a plain waste of time if you've done it several times before. It's nothing that proves anything for a skilled 3d artist and a newbie wouldn't make any better art with or without a premade basemesh...
But however i didn't want to be called a cheater, so i wasted the time for it :P
As for the 2d sketching, i'll do more over her body, having a 3d model in background and not having to think abaut the perspective just helps
still thinking of a way to connect her more to the ground, thought i could create some gloves and boots mde of rock, but didn't find any good realization, and maybe it will look way too heavy for a girl, but otherwise it would twist the design a bit and would give me a better idea of her powers.
something like this, but it pretty crappy right now, so i guess i'll dump that idea and go better with some magical artifacts
like it !!
I like wear you are heading, but are you sure you want to wrap a kids arms in barbed wire?

Well, if it's not against the rules.
sick concepts btw. The face decal is super subtle and made me OMFG when I realised what it was!
did a bit more stuff on the sculpt, will add her cornrows now.

Great job on the sculpt so far, interesting how you approached the beads around her neck. Can't wait to see more
@arix: you are totally right, i changed it a bit, but not too much i want it to be still cute and round in shape, it may be already too much now, i liked the older ear more...
and here is an update with her hairs and some other details, damn those dreads where a shitload of work
She is looking really good
