Aela the Huntress - WIP

TaulNotShort

Doing my personal take on everyone's favorite follower, Aela. 

I wanted to see if I could do a little refresh of her design and challenge myself by working on a character with a lot of little moving pieces. Style-wise I'm trying to hit a cross between what I personally find appealing, and the class bodies from Diablo IV.

The end goal might be to rig and skin her for basic anim? Since I've never done that before and would like to expand my at-home workflow.Most recent work, and still a lot of things to work on: something already feels weird when looking at these screenshots lol.

So many tiny parts, but I'm trying to learn patience with this project...or maybe I'll just start another down the line

Oooh, so cool! Aela was one of my favs and I already love the direction you've gone for her face. Look forward to seeing updates on this

i think the good thing about patience is that each part of the design will feel fleshed out, so instead of looking at the project you start as i have to get it all done every-day.  

Look at it as i have to get this clothing to look right, that is how i get and or got by with the scylla "goal", i still have yet to pose and test out in other engines but for now, i moved on.  Only because it was a big leap for me in terms of level of details to get my head around. 

or maybe I'll just start another down the line

So think small pieces but make them impactful, don't think of them as a choir to get out of the way to work on more "appealing" parts but really knock out the small stuff and then the over all will be more "gratifying".   At least that is how i feel with mine, same goes for textures and materials and clothing folds ect.ect. 

Also this goes for anyone unplugging from the net all together, if you can get away with it, helped me be enthusiastic about my stuff more and my concentration towards learning has helped, i just put things on in the background mostly some tune/music with no words so the words of the music do not distract me.

To the design its looking like her to me, though i never seen her and the reference img is super small.
