Notes: This piece was inspired by a character in my Dungeons &
Dragons game, played by Mary Rogers. The original idea was a
black-skinned elf, called a drow, who had been rescued from her evil
homeland by dwarves (hence the axe-pendant). The cloak, head, hair,
and body were constructed with SPatch and materials applied with
Moray. I decided to go with a purplish flesh color, as dark gray
didn't show up well and black wouldn't show up at all. The pendant
is a height-field, the basis of which was created in Paint Shop Pro
(the eye coloration was also created using Paint Shop Pro). I used a
red sphere (behind the camera) and cut up the reflection properties
of the eyes to give them the red sheen. |
