Nice painting, althought truthfully there is nothing in there that says viking to me. He's bald (viking's are more known for lots of hair, head and facial), he has a very smooth face, never looks like he's known a hard day of work/battle in his life, and he has big horns. (Yes I know this is something people generally…
Ok, let's look at some viking structures. All made of wood. Let's take a look at Viking Structures within LoTR like Rohan. The structure itself is made of wood. Let's look at stone structures, like Minas Tirith. Clearly the influence is not from Viking architecture. If he's going for something more like Minas Tirith,…
Modelling looks solid to me, I'm not expert but there's nothing glaring to me! I don't know how literal you want to be with the viking aspects but spear seems odd to me, the shape of the tip (it looks like it's barbed for fishing but this is quite different to a viking fishing spear…
Nice looking concepts I would never get to demon viking tho while looking at the images Also maybe just a little more stomach, he looks like a skinny shaman, the bottom right image of your thumbs had it quite well. The concepts are definitely cool, but I think youve gotten a lof off from your goal of a viking demon Each…
neox: im not sure i follow ur question. doesnt the technical stuff make something what it is? :/ or am i getting confused. in reality vikings did not have nor used anything this guy has but the idea is for him to be a viking. i got some ideas from random viking references, exaggerating their armor and weapons. yes this…
Back again with another update to this one. This time I've: - Pushed the lighting. I liked the godray shining onto the runestone to attract the eye a bit more and thought I could get some storytelling going there with the ravens having flown in to sit menacingly on our little runestone. - Moved around some pillars and…
Blue tattoos of beasts and trees, might be more accurate. Also vikings were really just farmers, they lived in the cold north so a bare chested viking was probably a rare sight. A farmer's garb like this on a tall muscular guy would probably be more accurate. It's hard to see what's going on in the face due to the helmet,…
Hello everyone! I came up with this character inspired by some stuff I was reading about a grave discovered that demonstrated evidence that some women in the viking era not only owned ships, but were leaders in battle. This is Thyra. She's War Chief of an imaginary northern-Icelandic viking village. She has trained all her…
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…
During this project I learned lots of new this like using hair cards for the first time, nano mesh, and using marvelous designer . Also I took inspiration for this project from the show vikings and my brother nagging me to make him in to a viking. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xvXqW
