Black Smith Woman Concept drawn by Eric Buterman

Note:  Alright so with one model done with final concepts and starting to 3D Model, it was time to start with a 2nd Model idea.  I am hoping to with all 4 models, I want to have: A prop, an enviroment/level, Female character, and male character.  My second idea was for the female character a Black Smith.  Before I came with this idea, I thought to myself, "What is an occupation that you rarely or never see a women do?"  So it came to Black Smith.  For more info on the Black Smith Women, I have posted a rough rough bio of her below:

NAME

What is your character’s full name?
Alkaia Armsmith

What reason did you name the character this?

Historically, Amazons were portrayed as beautiful women in Amazonomachies, which was an artform showing battles between the Amazons and Greeks. Amazons were trained to use all weapons and especially in single combat. They were honorable, courageous, brave and represented rebellion against sexism. Their tales spread quickly and soon stories of the Amazons were everywhere, including Africa, Asia, Europe, South America (the Amazon River was named after the female warriors), and North America in the mid-1900s with the comic book hero, Wonder Woman.

Does the name have a meaning?
Alkaia was one of Queen Andromache's Amazon generals. Her name means, "Mighty One." 

Does your character have a nickname?
Big Mama, Ma'am, Boss, The Mighty One.
