Nice but tricky, weā€™ll see :).

Those references are very impressive, especially the first.

Hey guys! Hadnā€™t really the time to do something yet, but will post an update anyways.
So, blocking out the anatomy and some basic shapes that will use later as a guide for the actual meshes later, just to check the design and overall lookā€¦
Still undecided about the headdress, have tried two options :
One , more ā€œrealisticā€, from actual historic reference

...and one more "artistic", i like it most, but it's less "historically accurate":

which one you like most?

Also, hereā€™s my Pinterest board where all my reference are stored:

In my opinion I like your actual design, it have interesting shapes and is your personal style. keep it up!!

#11

I agree :wink:

#12

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback!
Sticking on with the second version then!

hereā€™s a small update :

#13

Another small update!

#14

Woho cool fadt detail female indian work, polish stay tuned! :slight_smile:

#15

Wow, she look so goooood! I think that maybe her legs are a little bit too muscularā€¦but stillā€¦WOW!

#16

And hereā€™s another update! Removed the feathers, lost an insane amount of time sculpting them, but in the end they did not look as cool as I wanted. Might still want to add some details here and there before the final renderingā€¦
What do you think?

And hereā€™s a closeup :

Love it, awesome stuff man

#19

Bravo, great work.

#20

Thanks guys!
Btw, I have fixed the knees at my best, as noticed by Marco; hope they look better now! :slight_smile:

#21

Without the headdress I think she looks more like a warrior and less like an ornament.
Love the stalking pose. Iā€™d check the position of the bow. Looks like she is not grabbing it in the middle which will give you a very skewed shot. :smiley:

Great job.

#22

Wow! Great great job! :beer:

#23

thanks for the feedback guys! fixed the bow, now it should be much more centeredā€¦
and here come the final renders!

ā€¦and poses

So, hereā€™s my entry:
Kora, a native american warrior, from the Lakhota tribe. She was really fun to model, I learned a lot during the process!
Hereā€™s my reference board on Pinterest (too many references to be posted on a forum!) :
