Vannix Vycan (Surface Gear)

Vannix Vycan is one of those characters I created purely by chance. I have always been fascinated by elves of all their variety, and the Dark Elves are certainly no exception. Being able to add Vannix to my 3d cast and expand upon her is something of great interest to me.

Previously I explored a much more playful early version of Vannix, and while it was an interesting avenue, it neither was practical nor appropriate for the story I hope to tell with the character. Looking back, I felt her greatest failure overall was that I couldn’t take her seriously.

With Vannix's new look, I very much wanted to empower her as a strong-willed and formidable female warrior, who has risen from the ashes and rewritten her destiny. That meant avoiding the typical female wardrobe we see in daz/poser art. At the same time, I wanted to bring out her characteristics at a glance, I think it’s important the outfit tells a story about the character, just as much as the weapons they wield and the decisions they make within their world.

I have to thank Skiriki, Kismet, Wendy and Mavrosh for their guidance and encouragement, its been long time in the making and an awesome process.
