Character Model Research

Character Brainstorm

This is the brainstorm that I have conducted for a character I am going to 3D model. I want to create a female heroine who looks like a true warrior. I want her to look sexy and deadly at the same time. Women are often stereotyped as weak and frail in the real world, so I would like to contradict this stereotype with the design of my character.


  • (Inspiration from "Game of War: Fire Age")

  • female, warrior/heroine
  • medieval/roman style blends

  • weapon of choice: sword or axe
  • body type: curvy with small waist
  • hair: long, brunette, wavy
  • attire: light amounts of armor, head piece, chest plate, armored boots, one arm fully armored, cape, short dress, promiscuous/provocative
  • eyes: blue
  • makeup: heavy eyeliner, deep color eyeshadow, smoky eye
  • eyebrows: average size
  • muscle tone: smaller arms with extreme muscle definition, powerful and muscular legs


Character Research Links/Images

Below, you will find all of my research images that I would like to base certain features of my character on when I 3D model her. The text that is in bold above each image is what part of each image that I am going to reference to or incorporate into the modeling of my character. The text that is below each image is the link to the original source pages where I retrieved the images from for this blog post.
