Dancing Nymphs - Dana - 3D Model

avatar

Hello Everyone.
I'd like to make a small change of theme (my previous models were of space-aliens).
We are getting back from deep space down to earth.

I am working on a 'Dancing Nymphs' Scene. It is loosely based on Joseph Tomanek's 'Nymphs Dancing to the Pans Flute' painting.

The plan is to have a few nymphs dancing in a circle around a big bonfire. I would like to have at least a few different ones so I can form a circle out of them. I am aiming at 8, and will share my progress as I go.

I want to make each of them different and give each one an unique look, character and name.


It took me a while to come up with a name for the first one. I was considering Celtic and Slavic sources, but couldn't make my mind. I settled for Dana, as it makes sense both as a Celtic and Slavic name.

The goddess Dana, also called Danu, was the Mother Goddess in Celtic Mythology, as a Slavic name the word could mean 'given', 'gift' (from God) or 'day'.

There are also many different etymologies for this name coming from many different languages and cultures.

Guau la verdad que lo vi y es un cambio que no me esperaba, esta bueno renovar los aires y demostrar que dominas el programa en cualquier circunstancia. Siempre me encanto la mitología y me he dado cuenta que desconozco de la cultura celta, ahora toca ponerme al día en youtube.

I like to jump from one theme to another, It's more interesting that way. Celtic and Slavic mythology and history is really interesting. There's not a lot of information about these cultures that survived to present day, but that makes it more exciting if you manage to find any good information about it. Thanks for commenting :)
