The Dark Council - Nyd'la, The Destroyer (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update August 12th

Finished detailing the boots, Belt, Gloves, and chest armor. Today I will work on her faceguard, Kanabo, and a bit more details on the wings. After this, I will be ready to pose her.

When the posing is done, I will finish the cloth on her leg and Belt.

I'm in doubt if I put her with or without the Faceguard. Since she has no Hair, making a modular head will not be that hard. If I can do this it will solve my problems, she will have 2 head options, 2 body options, and 2 weapon poses (With and without Gelvain).

Update August 11th

Yesterday I could work with few interruptions and things went out great, I dedicated most of my time sculpting.

I could not reuse N'Zull Armguards and Belt for her due to body differences, it didn't feel right, so I decided to start from scratch. Glad I did.

Her Weapon of Choice will be the Kanabo (Instead of Axe). the reason for that is because, when thinking about the weapon I wanted a weapon that could relate to Wrath, so a blunt weapon came to my mind. Usually, when people are angry they want to smash things. While searching for a blunt weapon I thought about a Baseball Bat (well you know bat and bat), a post also mentioned that Kanabo may resemble a Baseball bat. Another thing is an entry on the Wiki: 

"The kanabō was also a mythical weapon, often used in tales by oni, who reputedly possessed superhuman strength.[7][8] This is alluded to by the Japanese saying "like giving a kanabō to an oni"—meaning to give an extra advantage to someone who already has the advantage (i.e. the strong made stronger)"

This totally made sense to me.

Most of the pieces of her armor are still in primitive shapes or simple placeholder geometry.

I was thinking of adding a Winged helmet similar to Blood Knight from GW but, was not a great idea, her horns got in the way. The best thing I could make resembling a bat was a faceguard (kind of a mask), but I don't know. What do you guys think?

Today I will make the wings blockout and start refining the shapes of her armor.

---End of Updates---

Yesterday I started blocking out the shapes for Nyd'la, everything is still too early and I am still trying to figure out her body proportions. 

The Body:

She will be a bit smaller than N'Zull, and will have a strong muscular body (not body builder style). Her wings will be in the WOW style, with 3 sections and a small membrane. She will have hairy legs. Her horns will be bent backward. I haven't touched her face yet (that is a placeholder)

For armor:

She will have a 7/8 socks, with Plating until knee high. I will add a side Armor plate. Her skirt will cover only the back part plus a small part in the front. Her belly will be exposed, showing some muscles. Her chest armor will have a Bat design over it (Like batgirl). Her Gloves, Shoulders, and belt will be reused from N'Zull, to look like they are part of the same set.

For pose and hand options:

I want to make a dynamic pose for her, since she is Wrath, I was thinking of a striking position. One pose came to my mind and I will definitely need Gelvain's Help again. I intend to change her Weapon to a blunt Weapon. She will have hands for interaction and without interaction. At the moment I don't know if it will be possible to make her a claw hand option, but I will try.

That's it for the current WIP, I will keep this post updated with any news. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please, leave them in the comments.

Best regards,

Ivo
