We are Vikings

Skyerzz

Hey guys, I wanted to actually make a thread before I finished the model I'm working for a change.


So I stumbled across this awesome character design by Kristen Woo, and wanted to make it in 3d. Here is what I got so far. I'm still working on blocking her out. I have to go back and adjust some proportions.

Wow its been a long time since I updated this thread. Well I started working on her again. Aside from none art related school work, I'm juggling between a few different models that I've had sitting around. Here is where I'm at with this one. Crits and comments are very welcome.

Should be blonde.

Skyerzz

Thanks Lotet.
@Brygelsmack: Why blonde? She is suppose to be a tough chick,and blonde hair may take away from that edge.

Brygelsmack

It would feel way more viking to me. I think it's one of those things people think of when they talk about Scandinavians/vikings. I've got brown hair myself but blonde just feels more right to me as far as vikings go. I like the model for sure and she does look tough so nice work. Google search viking women/girl and see what you think.

i really feel you are losing a lot of the "character" of the concept, you are trying to normalize it by pushing the style back to a comfort zone.
a big part of this character is no chin, smoothe round head with no nose, eyes nothing more than base line work. arms on concept are straight less muscular definition. no lips.

the concept has a great almost adventure time style to it and i think it would be great to keep that. instead of pushing it so far back to reality.

Yeah, Rhinokey makes some fantastic points about the transition from concept to 3D, it you make the changes I think this piece will come into a world of it's own.

The ponytail really should be more symmetrical; at the moment it's offset well to her left. Look at the rear view in the concept; it's centered, but then thrown over her left shoulder, making it look offset.

The pants seem much baggier than in the concept.
