I'm really happy to present you Thyra, thunder goddess and follower of Thor!
This is a game ready model based on fantastic Concept of Akpen! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nYGP6o
I loved this Artwork since the first time and decided to create my own take on it.
I started first with the body, from sphere, I sculpted before the primary forms and blocked out the big shapes of the body. After the body was done, i started masking,extracting and zremeshing the clothing and armors. Then i went into the details of each subject and after i needed a better topology so i duplicated each of them, zremeshed again and project all on the high poly subject.
For detailing much more every single object, and the body too, i used layers and layers searching for the best result i could reach. As well as layers, i used viking symbols alphas and alphas created by myself too ,made on photoshop.
The entire character and props are done from ZBrush, except clothes from Marvelous designer, and then retopologized into Maya, baked and textured into Substance Painter and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag3.
Hope you like this guys! I've put everything of myself in this artwork!
