Early Look: 'Village Girl'

This past week I had been playing a lot of M&B Bannerlord, really putting me into a medieval mood with the amazing environments that they have made for the game. I ran some ideas through my head and made a pose where a peasant girl is looking at someone arriving in that village.

Thanks to some RL stuff, I gained more experience with UV unwrapping and so I went the extra mile and added in topstitches to create that medieval look with a very basic tunic or dress. I also again delved into creating a more realistic forest for the background, with my last render being with Aya's Kimono. Which... really doesn't look that great comparatively, or it just never looked good to begin with and I never really noticed it. Which is honestly quite likely!

Anyway, my intention is to add a story to this and upload that publicly with it. It's basically about that girl who seemingly never stops growing, yet she tries her best to help her parents the village's pasture. There'll also be a more fighter-oriented character that had suffered from the same issue as the girl (being an outcast, ridiculed for it, etc) that drops by. The story basically ends with them journeying together as a result of a conflict that had the girl in danger.

Either way, there are a lot of good ideas running through my head with this. However there's this fear in my mind... A fear that it'll just be another project that I'll toss aside in favor of others. But fortunately for this story, it can basically stand on its own without too much trouble. Or even in the case that the story doesn't work out either, then this render will suffice just fine too!

I'm just rambling at this point though. It basically boils down to that I might develop this further. Only time will really tell.
