tobbeo: Thanks for the support.
Stephenrminkin: Thanks
- FoOD -: Thanks
Here is another update. I’ll be getting to the texturing soon. I worked on the lighting a bit but It’ll probably change once I start to apply textures.

That’s looking beautiful, man. Really well done. Cheers.

Last one looks really amazing so far
I’d love to see more angles and closeups though
Such great work! 
Really inspirational 
A really great update! One thing that instantly jumps out at me atm are his boots, the lower part to be precise. They feel like they belong some centuries later - too refined a shape. The vikings would have worn soft leather, pointy boots without internal supporting walls in the toe like yours have…
here’s a good example:http://www.visi.com/~norseman/viking_shoe.html
dustinbrown: Thanks, man.
Darukin: I realized I haven’t shown his right side. I’m not quite finished with the right side. I was thinking of adding an axe.
FoxHound1984: Thanks, too kind.
Intervain: Thank you. I love your work. Yeah the boots are kind of sophisticated for the time period. The viking isn’t totally realistic I’ve definitely taken some liberties with him.
Here’s the right side for now.

Outstanding detail! One more ctitique his rigt arm looks as it is double jointed on the elbow region, and the horse muscles need more attention, but I don’t doubt you know that and this is still a wip, so please don’t find yourself offended

It’s always such a shame to be picky with something done so beautifully!
I guess I agree with the above comments, and there’s a few costume/armour details that don’t ring true, but then as you say you’ve taken liberties.
Might be better to call this ‘Battle Worn’ or ‘Wounded’ and avoid those comments altogether/
It’s a really lovely piece, congrats!

An axe would make a worthy addition.
Jesus Eric, your killing it! I cant wait to see where this goes.small_orange_diamond
This is becoming a really cool looking model. If I may make a suggestions it would be to keep taking more liberty’s with his design. Just run with it! I also agree with mikezoo, a axe would be a very badass addition. Keep up the great work
Looking good, funny enough Im listening to Wagners Parcifal right now which
lines up with the image.
Hey Everyone. So I’ve been working on the texturing aspect of the character. I’ll post more various angels of the character soon.
cherub_rock: thanks for the feedback!
RawSunlight: Yeah I started with the idea of a tired viking but it has definitely taken some detours on its design
mikezoo: thanks buddy;)
Stephenrminkin: Thanks for the encouragement.
Dman3d: Epic

This is looking better and better with each update. Is this all done within zbrush or combination with other programs? Good Work, Eric.<img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/upload/atn.gif”>
I am using 3ds Max for creating the geometry, VRay for lighting and rendering, and zbrush for detailing. The head, helmet, arms, gloves, and horse have normal maps that I created with zbrush and then I used xnormal to bake the normals and occulsion pass.
looking good …
keep pushing…
Wonderful work! The anticipation of going to the next page to see your updates was so much!
And nice, I’m from Portland too
ivar_sn: Thanks for the encouragement
mljforever: Thanks
colemeister14: Thanks. Woot Portland!
I didn’t change anything with the model. but I was playing around with color and composition a little and came up with something that I thought I’d share with you guys.

Congats man,
this warrior is a really cool sculpt. I even prefer the less coloured version.
Cool work indeed.
I really like this model, you have done a really lovely job on it. the detail you have put into it is amazing and you can really feel the weight of the character on the horse. well done give your self a pat on the back because its amazing.
