"Repent ! Or face the wrath of the God Green Face !"
Hi !
This is the first sketch of my participation in the Dominance War
Saint Amelia is the Reverend Mother of the Holy Order of the Sisterhood of Mercy.
( She's very inspired by the character of one of my players in Warhammer Fantasy RPG.
Sister Amelia belongs to the Order of the Sisters of Sigmar)
She spent her time to hunt demons and chaos zealots with her warhammers marked with the symbol of her god : Holy Count, The God Green Face ! The marks she makes inflicted horrific suffering on heretics.
So, tell me what do you think about !
And forgive my approximate English's skill ^^

Posture is important for this character, try to make her look powerful and in an aggressive stance.
408>> yeah, i've some cool ideas for the posing
Garagarape>> Yeah ! sexy Nun is cool !
I almost finished the modeling!

Maybe slim the hips a bit or broaden the abdomen. The lower half seems slightly puffy. Go with a bigger-thicker belt buckle(s)!
Double hammers is win, I'd like to see them glowing with runic particles.
I appreciate the texture potential of this character. Take your time! Good luck!
I ... need ... time ...
I ... need ... sleep ...
I'm working on the texture, searching for illustrative pattern and color code. I hope finish it soon ^^
There are some versions I've made :
-Woog
I think bright colors may be better
if you want to keep it Nun looking.
I like the way the three belts waves down.
The gauntlet made of three plates is nice too.
I like the details put on the bright version, and i like her robe going straight down on the dark version... I'd go something between the 2 brightness... maybe some dark blue to make it more nun.
Darker version is better, stick with this one.
I hope you'll add some nice specular map on these metal parts, this will add a lot to your character.
I love the lefthand hammer, it looks so basic and strong, badass weapon!
(I assume this is hand painting/texturing)
Bal/GoSsS >> Thanks guys ! I will follow your advice and use a specular map for the armor and the others metallic-parts
EzMeow/Garagarape>> I looove belts ^^
All >> Thanks for your comments and encouragements ^^
For the color/pattern choice, I will choose a mix of both, I think.
This is the first render test with Xnormal (beuuurk the 1bit transparency .... )
I did not used to make this kind of render (usually, I do only characters with self illumination)
I'm not sure but, I wonder if the brown colour on the tunic is ok.
I mean brown belts on brown tunic don't help to put the stress
on them. No easy way out for that though.
Tell me what do you think about it ^^
You work fast ; even if you start this comp' lately, your in man
I really like the right posing, she seems to say "C'mon guy, I'm waiting for you to smash your skull so hard with my pretty green face hammers !!!"
The other posing are pretty conventionnal but cool too
Maybe you should try a "poor lil' nun" posing, with hammers hide behind her back to better surprise her opponent : just a suggestion... (Maybe it's not really easy to do with all this armor plates )
Good luck and keep it up !
Beautiful and classic, fantastic textures and overall look.

Arkhange >> Thanks for your comment !
For the "poor lil' nun" idea, I like it but it's a tricky way.
And use the trick is sign of cowardice.
And the cowardice is sin.
And sin is evil.
And evil must be destroyed by the steel and fire !
REPEEEENT !!!!!!!
^^
Kozlow>>Thanks !
here there are a test for the presentation shot and the Text Image shot.
Tell me what do you think about (and tell me if the text is well written ^^ I am not very skilled with the English language )
Only one crit on your presentation sheet:
With this angle and seen from the rear side, her right
hand seems to end in a strange shape. I mean
you can hardly recognize the hammer. Yes, that's not
the big deal
I noticed the side cuted frame patern on your two sheets;
will you make a poster at the very end by pasting the 6 sheets together?
Great work!
Garagarape >> Finally I change the posing on the presentation shot. So, no strange hand anymore ^^
And Yes, i make a big poster with my six sheet !
I've to finish my beautyshot (I don't know exactly what i want to do ... only one image ? three image ? background or not ? I hesitate ...) and my concept sheet
EDIT : I've fnished my concept sheet. The hardest for the end, the Beauty Shot !
And my 6sheets-poster with the new beauty shot
Well, I think it's terminated, didn't it ? ^^
Well, not yet, I want to make somme littles modifications but I see the end of the tunnel !
i like the right one on your beauty shot, but Amelia on the left has an arm that's not very readable...
She's cool by the way, as usual (^o^)/
-Woog
The poses work fantastically with the style and her dark brooding facial expression.
Just an amazing job.
great choice of character, styles and what not!
i think the texture could have been worked out a bit more
the overall presentation is great, though its a bit chaotic
personaly i think the amount of spots on the sides of the renders is too much
you did use some cool poses,
great character man
very nice btw.
