FYI rhos... there's no sample shown.. Just wanted to let you know :) Thanks for another contest.. ;)
shouldn't that be female Norsewomen?
Norsemen is correct since it is in refrence of culture
let alone i don't change my words if the traditional term is unlike by a few
a postman is a post man.... what ever happened to tradition
attach are a few idea from other sources
when it came to women in combat they where reserve troops equipt with spear or sword and leather armor... it was rare that a woman would where mail
they where used to plug holes in the shield wall as the men reorganized
helm are a area of dispute since they where not as common as other cultures mostly out of the concept if they where manily or some other mental disorder lol
oh yes.. got those Rhos.. thank you :)
... or female shield warrior
Oops! rhos2821 is correct. That should be 'shield maiden'.:red:
The mythical Valkyries may have been based on the shield maidens.
norse women that are unmarried could be trained in combat and once the finish they are called shield maidens and have that distinction for the rest of thier life.
even though a few made freice warriors they where to valuable because of the youth death rates
DELETED...
Ragnorak does not fancy the Norsemen women much
great examples of femal norsemen.... good job
and thanks for the refrences for garb for them
7 and half weeks left to the contest

i am asking for two more female pics so there is 5 of them and then 3 of the child

it would be nice to have one with the husband for a family pic of sorts
thanks for the great work
Thank you! Ok, I will prepare two more pics of the female and two more of the child (one with his norse parents)
:)
Fun renders troglodita... Great emotion... love them :) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you llolalane! :)
Here is my first entry.
I call her Adelheid, for your RPG of course you can give her any name you please. I have a good idea for her backstory and lifestyle but the pictures do a pretty god job of explaining it too...
Cheers,
Armor is a kit bash including, Dreamquest, Fighting Fae, Genesis Cavalier, Svana and Fantasy Wrap.
Val Spear and Shield.
Outfit is Oktoberfest for Genesis 2 Female(s)
Just the first pic in my series, but I thought I'd give you a look at entry number 2.
Well, here are the rest of my renders:
- Female fullbody defending home
- Female close up
- Rogue kid
- Happy family (the father calls Snorri, blacksmith of the village)
I hope you like them!
Here is my second entry in this contest. After seeing some of the excellent post work in the Norse male contest I decided to dust mine off. I have been mostly just posting raw renders.
