Silvanesti Warrior
Silvanesti Warrior
Laren, illustration of a silvanesti warrior from house Metalline. This is one of my old roleplaying character for Dragonlance. This character is a skilled smith as well as a trained warrior, that's why she is wearing a luxurious golden armor and sword.
Laren
I wanted a realistic illustration, with a serene character posing in an autumn forest, illuminated by sunrays passing through leaves and mist to add more mystery. She is on a quest and is waiting for other adventurers to join her.

I started with a serie of black & white thumbnails
Then sketched and itereted different armors and swords.
I designed some elvish runes for the sword, and a symbol for her tabbard. For the character, I imported a Daz modele into Blender, then hugely modified her face.
I fully modelled the sword.
I started modeling the clothes. First the fabric, then the armor.
Adding more details and the sword.
More accessories and improving the fabric on the ground.
Building the scene with quixel rocks and vegetation, I modelled a very simple arch, because it will not be very visible with the mist.
Corrected the vegetation textures and started to test light and mist.
Improving again the light of the scene, that's a tricky part !
Adding more details to the armor in photoshop, but this didn't work well.
Modelling all these details in 3D, this is far better. And here is the complete 3D scene. My PC was having a very bad time !
Final image. A bit of paintover to correct the 3Dishness, and some post process to improve the hues and lights.
