(Very late) Homework Week 2 Submission.
This took a few days longer than I had expected, but I’m finally done with the sculpting phase. I’m gonna try to get retopo and shading done in time for the end of the class, but realistically, it’s probably gonna be an extra week or so. I had a lot of fun working on this sculpt, and I would like to thank everyone who submitted feedback on the work in progress, it was very helpful 🙂 Now without further ado, I’d like you to meet my character.
“It’s not easy, being a halfing in a human world. Especially with that freak’s marks painted on my head. Who am I? My name is Silvaly’ithalda. I know right, bit of a mouthful. Just call me Silva, that’s a lot easier. I was raised an orphan by some cult, far of to the east. I never really felt like I fit in, but for some reason the thing they worshipped chose me to be granted his ‘gifts’. However, I’ve seen what his magic can do, it causes nothing but pain and destruction. When it comes to a fight, I like to rely on my sword. Nothing fancy there, just a piece of good steel, and you strength and skill against your oponent.
“Part of ascending the ranks in the cult involves giving up one of your eyes, which would allow the thing to see through your other eye. I didn’t feel much for losing my sight, but the cult wouldn’t take no for an answer. In the end we got a compromise of sorts, I suppose. I lost my vision, but at least I got to keep the eye. It wasn’t long afterwards that I left. Ever since then I’ve been wandering these parts, doing some honest work for my food and drink, looking for… I don’t know, actually. Maybe just some peace and quiet, to forget my youth. Maybe one day I’ll find a way of getting back to them, for all the pain they’ve made me go through. In the end, I suppose I’m looking for purpose. But for now another drink will do, telling my story always gets me thirsty. You’re buying, I assume?”
