Description


When searching old files I found this little gem from the early days featuring Tris Merigold on a gaming base. As a one time figure painter and table top gamer, I made a bunch of these as learning exercises with hopes of applying them in 3D or my own characters but never got 'round to it. Some of the later vignettes were more sophisticated, with better lights, textures, props and other little 'noogies' set on the bases, but only Tris and Yennefer survived. Thanks to dbwalton for reminding me of these with his steampunk cards. Poor Tris doesn't measure up to his work in my scene but the concept is really interesting and worth exploring again with a better understanding of the process.

Nice pose and expression. To test a character or use it for a "character card" this kind of picture is perfect. I really need to do things like this with my many character cards. Thanks for sharing, my dear!

Thanks Molly - this sort of thing started me in rendering - a tool for visual imagery and potential gaming. Now I do it for its own sake, and am much the better for it. So much to learn from experienced artists!

a very cool figurine, I wonder if she prints as good as she looks? One could create an awesome chess set like this :)

Thanks Paul. Would be fun to print and paint though my miniature painting days have sort of slipped away. it's enough of a struggle now to properly weather a 1/35 tank....

The character looks awesome, I wouldn't call her 'pretty good character'. I can translate. 😉
Wonderful render, outstanding gorgeous, beautiful character, superb outfits and assets.
For a chess set, she would be too hot if she would look like in this render. The chess set might be quite expensive I assume but it would be very special for sure.

Thanks mif - had Ms. Merigold been used for gaming it would have been as a tabletop RPG figure or the like, but I wouldn't use her as rendered as she's someone else's intellectual property. Then again, she's a game rip from The Witcher Wild Hunt and I doubt the artist obtained permission from CD Projekt Red...

I Have plenty original characters from writing projects to use instead, though to do some of them would require a lot of compromise as their clothing and kit can't be duplicated with existing assets. I guess I could come close...

Thanks long and i agree that Paul's idea is great. Could do an entire set with Witcher characters. Almost too many to choose...

LOL. She's set up according to the artist who based his model on the WH outfit. Tweaked her shape a little to make her a little less buxom (if you can believe it). I have a silly post with Geralt, Triss and Ciri - and a gangsta with his ride - that I couldn't resist doing well after the based characters were set up. Don't think many appreciated the humor...

Thanks Sunbeam - i can't take too much credit as outside of some shaping and texture tweaks to adjust for written canon she's pretty much an 'out of the box'.
