Ho yeah your right. It's really to close. I'll do some change to get away from it ! thanks for pointing it !

[brohmyr]

Look at your first few designs at the top. See what you can add from that to help push the design away. Or even just sketch out some rough random other shapes not relating to this character specifically that can possibly help influence your design more. You'll get it to something good . Keep up the awesome stuff!

The moment i saw your concept it inmediatly remind me to Mercy indeed.
But you did a great job, hopefully you can change it more so it doesn't resemble mercy's outfit that much.
Keep it up i will definetly leave a watch on this.

[ironicgame]

Here is another iteration. Try to go away from mercy overwatch design as suggested ! thanks guys. I probably do more of these until I found something I like. Let's me know what you think.

[brohmyr]

I dig it

[ironicgame]

Thanks !

[ironicgame]

Not done yet with the design I'll probaly start some 3D.
Take a pose from the concept then get it back with a fresh eye.
What you guys think of this version ?

[ironicgame]

Here some wip sculpt and a bit of polypaint.

[ironicgame]

Some Wip. sculpt and blockout.

[ironicgame]

Last concept iteration for now. added asymmetry on the arm with the spear. Now that I see the 3d blockout I want to simplify it more...

[mrjar0]

Looks awesome.
It has such a nice cyber Valkyrie feeling. However it feels like she is missing some armor. Would a thigh guard or a skirt not fit her?

[ironicgame]

Hi thank you mrjar0 ! actually I'm in the process of simplifying the design. yes you're right she missing some armor ^^ still not happy with this version but I think I'm slowly getting there...

[ironicgame]

Look like I will spend more time on concept again ... how do you guy's make to chose the first ? He is a glimpse of the iteration I have been through. I kind of like the last version... for now... XD

[mrjar0]

Personally I think the feather part of the wings from the v 1.5 looked the best and the fact that they could actually be folded was a great part of it. A bit sad to see the character lose the asymmetry.
On the other hand, the armor looks fantastic.
Really looking forward to the the finished model now

[ironicgame]

@MrJar0 thank you for having a look and the comment that's really apreciated.
Another step in the process. comming better in term of silhouette and shape. there is some things I want to try and experiment . simplification, color , asymetry and folding the wings. so I'll continue the game of what's work what's not concept phase.
Here the last version to date and a lapstime video process of it. 2 hrs.

[brohmyr]

Yes! I dig the armored new stuff. Way to go.

[ironicgame]

Here is some 3d blockout. test on the folding wings/Gun. feathers gonna be holographic. also some color test. For now I like the 12 / 13 there are sober.

[mrjar0]

This looks awesome. Nr. 13 has the best colors in my opinion.
Have you though about giving her a secondary pair of wings? Smaller ones just under the main pair. They could turn into control sticks in turret mode

[ironicgame]

Wip sculpt.
@mrjar0 Thank you ! yes you're right. I'll go in this direction. For the second pair of wing I will first see how much I struggle doing the first

[ironicgame]

I wich you all a merry chrismass !

At some point I wanted to add ornemental things to the design but struggled to much on the concept with le level of detail and the basic shape that I didn't found room to play with it. so now that I have my basic shape done I will experiment on the 3d model with PS and Zb.
Here is a update to the helmet design. It still WIP but I have a more clear idea of what it's gonna look like.
I did a video process of the sculpt, then a retopo + cleaning the edge in Zmodeler.
Here are some pic of the design process.
