Description
Here is my submission for IFCC challenge - character design.
Outsiders often called us crazy grandmas, but we are just regular old ladies fighting to protect homes while our loved ones are far away on the battlefield fighting against those weird monsters. I' ve been raised to become a wife, mother and a warrior.
This character is influenced by Croatian traditional costumes, jewelery and weapons- I wanted to bring a piece of our history into fantasy design. Also, I was very influenced by works of Even Mehl Amudsen and his amazing dwarfs. The headpiece she is wearing is also a part of tradition where Zvonč ari (the bellmens) are wearing them on special occasions in Croatia but mostly on carnevals. The primary task of Zvonč ari is to scare away evil spirits of winter and to stir up new spring-time cycle. So our Zlatica character is going to scare those evil plastic chairs away...oh wait O_O
