Project WIP update - Hjalta Sumarrós Magnþórsdóttir
Added 2015-12-09 21:14:39 +0000 UTCOh hey, look! A new name for the cow! This one is final. No, you don't have to remember the whole thing. XD Hjalta will suffice. ^.^ It's an Icelandic one; I'm finally pushing her towards that. I hope you like it!
ANYWAY!
I did some more work on her face, and, well, last time I checked, I didn't know how to make her any cuter. I think she is now reaching a dangerous level of cute. C:
GOOD.
Overall, she is still missing many details, and lots of technical stuff. But you know what? I feel like I might be able to actually finish her relatively soon! Like, sometime in 2016 ("soon", haha). I can see good progress on her, and I have the energy to continue, which is excellent.
And now...! LINK TIME!
- the overview document
- the project folder (not much new stuff there for now)
- the WIPs folder (notice something wrong with the numbering? MYSTERIOUS!)
One new thing that's really worth checking out, other than the document, is this simple turntable video of her. :3 NOTE: if you think the video quality is shite (which it most likely is), download the file - it'll be much sharper.
P.S. I'm super proud to say that I know how to correctly pronounce her entire name. C: *actually learns Icelandic; making dreams come true, one baby step at a time*

Oh, that's not a silly thing at all! I like when people think about what they're looking at. Anyway, yeah, that's a huge problem of mine. I'm unable to make a cute-looking character without making them look too young. XD I did mention both this and her age in the overview document. C: Her age is deliberately unspecified, but she's in her twenties, I guess! And I'm very glad you like her so far! :D

2015-12-13 20:42:10 +0000 UTCYeah, well, I mean she's just a regular cow character number 4623. While instead, I could make something considerably more exotic, like a cyborg secretary bird demon that's also a mercenary working for an organization that secretly controls the world, for instance. But this isn't a complaining tone at all; I'm very happy with where she's going. ^.^ On a side note, these are some fine Icelandic activities you mentioned there. XD But Hjalta alone isn't enough for a comic; I'd have to add another character, and/or have a very strong and unusual theme for her. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. *gets ideas* Anyway, thank you; glad you lke her too! :D

2015-12-13 20:36:52 +0000 UTCSorry if I missed it previously, but what is her age range? Face is telling me young and that of a child. Hips and udders tells me adult and possibly a parent or at least bred. Ignoring the chest since its obvious you are going with a natural bovine anatomy with the udder and teats. Sorry for the silly question and over analyzing. Biology and animals was one of my favorite subjects in school, and have a lot of family who raise cattle. Either way, I think she is looking great and can't wait to see her fleshed out and developed further. =)

Enough so that should Anza ever come to a conclusion, I'd not mind seeing a comic of Hjalta enjoying the splendors of Iceland (enjoying a thermal pool, growing bananas, avoiding the swans, and otherwise seeking inspiration for her paintings).
