And finally, the Iron Wizard and her hawk familiar, the last of the characters I did for Paizo’s NPC Codex.

I’ve been waiting to show her for a while. Most of the time I don’t like my own work, sometimes I think I did alright. This one I like. I took the hawk theme, which was only required for the helmet, and ran with it. More often than not I feel like my attempts to marry the more over the top
aspects of fantasy design with a more realistic approach fall flat, but here I think I succeeded. I think it’s because the main silhouette of the armor is more realistic (form follows function) and most of the embellishment is within those forms. I also got away with a female warrior in full plate without showing boobs for no reason, so I call that a win :)

The rendering on this is absolutely beautiful. I can't stop looking at the details and how you painted the values. I agree with other commenters, I think you integrated the hawk details quite well.

I really like how you managed to work the hawk motif into the armor in so many ways!

Left forearm, somewhat wonky.
Overall great job.
Nicely avoided too obvious boob armor.
