Kamahlia: HM Rendering


This is a straight rendering of Kamahlia from UGO's Hero Machine. For those unfamiliar with the HM, it is a character designer that takes a basic humanoid form and then lets you add a bunch of accessories that are pre-designed. It's kinda like paper dolls for guys (no offense to anyone intended :-).

No special editing was done except the backgrounds and lettering... all the character features are as they would be on the Hero Machine, except that I mirrored it. I had to do that because the Runescape characters hold the bow in the right hand and the quiver is strapped to the left leg.

I really don't like the selection of facial features... so that will have to be redrawn by hand at some point. There are a number of other items that are not exactly what the game offers, but close enough to have some fun with it. At some point I plan to use this as a base to re-paint the character and add/alter features to be more realistic. Later it would be fun to try to do a photo-realistic rendering... probably from scratch, not the HM.
