    I call her Adelheid, for your RPG of course you can give her any name you please. I have a good idea for her backstory and lifestyle but the pictures do a pretty god job of explaining it too...

    Errr... So you ARE aware that, in all Scandinavian and Celtic tribes, having a female wear a dress that doesn't go below her knees automatically considered her... well... a lady of ill repute...? :red: Because I'm not sure if the TOS of DAZ would allow that. In order not to have it taken down, repost on a different site might be needed.

    PS Send me the backstory anyway please, PMs, I think, don't have the regulations :coolgrin:.

    http://dh.tcd.ie/clontarf/Clothing: What Did People Wear in Viking-Age Ireland?

    clothing, for both men and women, generally consisted of two important pieces: a léine and a brat.

    The léine was a tunic-like garment, usually made out of linen and reached to about the knee. If you were wealthy you could also wear a garment made out of silk to impress your friends and neighbours.

    Of course, these tunic-like garments had to be the right length: neither short enough to expose the buttocks, nor too long so that they would drag along the ground. Too-short tunics were not impressive, and satires often mocked individuals wearing them, denouncing their low status (and perhaps their poverty).

    A ninth-century Irish text declares that one legal ‘handsbreadth’ (the width of a fist) should be allowed between the edge of the tunic and the knee. This meant that the tunic could be one handsbreath above or below the knee..

    The léine was generally worn underneath a brat, a sleeveless, hoodless cloak that could be wrapped around the body between one and five times.

    As the main function of the cloak was for warmth, it was usually made out of wool or some type of animal hide.

    Exactly, Chohole. There was a famous discovery of a mummified body of a young woman, which was found in the marshes of either Scotland or Ireland (I don't remember exactly). The archeologists were flabbergasted, because her dress was exposing knees very much and it wasn't a good thing to do back then.

    Funny character! Specially the one with the rolling pin

    For my renders I prefer to use shaders than post work, specially if I have to animate them. I usually to apply this:

    I highly recomend it!

    I thought this was supposed to be thread for authentic Norse females, not Ren Fayre type females. I could be wrong. :coolsmirk:

    Well being that it is for a RPG. Every RPG needs a tavern maid with a colourful backstory...

    yes what we are looking for is a more realistic feel, but, on ther other hand you always need some of the "hollywood" versions.

    everyone love the implied joke of what is false but has the classic concepts that where wrong.

    keep up the good work people
    thanks

    I think that was just a coincidence, as the viking series did start a while back

    Hi again! I would like to introduce you a character from my animated series. She is the Völva, a prophetess who lived far away at the top of the mountain with the Wise of Last Day order. In my next video (coming soon) she is already dead but Odin comes to her grave to revive her and hear the prophecy of Ragnarok.
    (The outfit is based on an archaeological site, specially the staff)

    Though being interested I decided to opt out this time, as male northmen contest ended two weeks ago and no word from rhos since. I'll wait and see what's going on before I consider joining the open subject render challenge later.

    Good luck everyone.

    Edit: Best decision I made. Have fun.
