Hey,
So here we are with this little viking. The idea was to improve my skills in Unreal Engine. So all the renders here (except for sculpts ones) come from UE 5.
I did Sculpting/modeling/texturing/posing/Integration of this character.

First part of this post is about "End of a fight" and then "Before the fight".
She is a varangian (also known as Rus'), kind of viking that went to slavic country, in consequence all of her patterns, symbols, dialect, gods are inspired by slavic culture. Same for her name, she isn't a representation of this goddess, she just shares same name.

You can find symbols on differrent part of stuff :
On the necklace all three are : Mara (Marena, etc), Dodola and Svarog.
On glove they mean : Fire and Family
I tried my best to find some accurate facts, I hope everything is correct.

On another hand this character was inspired by God Of War and The Witcher .
Same as all amazing works done in For honor / HellBlade / Assassin's Creed Valhalla
And actual historical references.

Finaly big thanks to Clément Masset, that helped me during integration process. He is an amazing artist, don't hesitate to check his work.
