Hi everyone!
I’m excited to join this year’s contest and create a new character. This will also be my first time working with the Character Creator workflow, so I’m looking forward to learning as I build the project.
Below is my initial concept exploration. The concept image was generated with AI and is being used as an early design reference. I’ll most likely refine and redesign many parts of the character as the project progresses.
Corvina Vale — a Gothic Cybernetic Raven Android
Corvina Vale is an elegant yet intimidating figure, designed to feel more mysterious than overtly aggressive.
Character class
She belongs to the Corvid Warden class—a stealth scout and battlefield controller who commands mechanical ravens for reconnaissance, surveillance, and communication rather than direct combat.
Profession
Her profession is a Ruinlands intelligence operative and retrieval agent. She patrols dangerous ruins, tracks high-value targets, recovers lost technology, and guides travelers through hostile territory. Rather than a traditional warrior or assassin, she serves as a silent sentinel and information-gatherer, relying on intelligence, patience, and precision to accomplish her missions.
Since I have a few other projects to finish this month, my available time is a bit limited, but I’m hoping to complete the character before the deadline.
This project will also be a personal challenge for me. While I have experience creating organic characters, this will be my first time modeling a robotic hard-surface character. I’m excited to step outside my comfort zone, learn some new techniques, and see how far I can push the design.
My first goal is to learn the Character Creator workflow and modify the base body to better match the concept. From there, I’ll move on to the clothing, armor, and mechanical details.
Looking forward to sharing my progress, and I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions along the way!
