Wow, that's awsome. ^_^

It's refreshing to see some human models for a change.


You can't tell me all this has no purpose but fun. Surely you have a plan or something. A map, model of person with spear.
You making a BF2 mod or something?  

[Nico]

no

[pyro-manic]

Awesome.

Something that's been bothering me about this: would a girl, especially one so formly, actually be able to wear form-fitting chainmail?

Oh, and awesome work as always Nico

[pyro-manic]

It's probably got Velcro or a zip up the back. Or it's magic stretchy chainmail. One of the two....

Don't ask

[icespeed]

don't see why not. it's like stretch denim, normally denim's not exactly form-fitting, bit stiff even, but stretch denim moulds contours... i'm a fan because i recently bought a pair of stretch denim jeans for an amazing TEN DOLLARS, which is about eight times cheaper than usual, very exciting.

anyway back to the point. she's pretty cute, nico, nice work. seems a bit top-heavy tho, the armour i mean, looks like her back might snap if she tipped over. *shrugs* but who cares about reality when aesthetics is in play?

[Nico]

(she's... cute?)
Yeah, stretching mail sound good ^^ - and I suppose there's no need for it to be magic to stretch anyway.
As for her back... well, these guys are strong enough, don't worry.

update:

She's basicaly done, just need her weapons, and maybe a couple things I'll have missed out and will notice later.

Little test animation. It's not perfect (a couple distorsions, for exemple around the belt, on the front), but it's better than I expected, correcting the skinning won't be a big deal. The robe works about fine, I'm happy with it (but the metalic parts should be rigid, I'll have to fix that).

[pyro-manic]

Ooh, evil eyes. And I just noticed the wing-like shoulder pads - I like.

[icespeed]

she's cute... as in not ugly and distorted? are girls not allowed to... ah... appraise girls now?

the eyes look too bright out of that shadow (which is actually quite a cool effect) and her neck's too short, or appears to be because of her armour (which is totally not a cool effect).

It's a massive bunch of iron chain links... it's absolutely nothing like stretch denim.

It wouldn't be practical. There's not enough play in chain mail for her to be able to bend in something that tight, let alone put it on. But as Nico implied, we don't need to talk about that sort of stuff.

It's rare to see a female fantasy character who isn't wearing 2 kleenexes for clothes......

Walk animation looks good to me.

On the defensive right away ~~

I just mean, cute, I don't know, maybe I'm mistaken, but I give a particular meaning, for exemple, I say cute for a kitten, but use that word for a... ah well, never mind, let me just ignore this ~~.

[NGTM-1R]

Nico uses cute like I do, to refer to children and fuzzy animals. Cute doesn't scan as a description of anything else for me.

[Nico]

Nah, I also refer to women as cute when they're... more cute than gorgeous - cuteness being a different sort of beauty than gorgeousness... How the hell am I supposed to explain that anyway?

[Grug]

When they have that kind of 'innocent' puppy look on them sorta. That's how I see cute in women, which can also incinuate sexy, but not always.

To me, cute is kind of "damn that's nice" in a non-sexual way. Tis hard to explain...

When all else fails...

[Gortef]

Wow, she looks great. Really superb job
