FIRST RESEARCH

The main idea for this character is to mix some Vikings & Fantasy design.
The viking universe is soo inspiring, many way to interpret the mythology, gods & warriors etc

I'm still gathering refs, I will probably post new board this week !

EDIT : I put all the main ref in one picture; it's better like that

14 days later

So, I'm probably late with the wip pictures, I start the project few days ago, and just non-stop working to have enough time to finish it in the right time.

This project is actually challenging for me, I never work on this kind of project, such as viking feeling, ancient civilization etc, I work more on sci-fi based character, and it's the main reason I joined this challenge. I have already a lot of fun making it ~

Starting with quick base

Just after this I start work on the clothes, I know clothes can take huge amount of time, and I really need to make them first, to have enough time and finish the project in the right time.
I will refine the character in the future when all the main elements are here.

So I start working on the Skirt first, directly on Marvelous Designer.

The skirt retopology take huge amount of time, but it's totally worth for the future ( UVing / Texturing )

Just after this, send all in zbrush and start adding some details and props.

The skirt still needs some detail, especially on the base itself. Again I will refine it in the future and probably mix it with the other clothes.

I will flood today sorry, I'm so late with the process pictures :X

So there is the process for the top Clothes & Cloak !

Again, Marvelous Designer, I fall in love with this software, it's really user friendly and get you a nice base to work with in zbrush !

So just after the top clothes I start create the cloak on marvelous designer again

The topo of the cloak is pretty huge I think, maybe will change this if I got the time !

Right after this I just combine them on zbrush, I delete some part of the top clothes, who are useless at the end ( hidden part )

It start looking cool on zbrush, can't wait to detail the clothes !

Some Ideas, research for the Shield.

I think it will change a lot, I still need to add some details, maybe chains, leather strip etc

I also make a quick test on Substance Painter, to give me an idea of what I can make with it , still in progress guys
