Fotiar - Backstory
For ages he has layn dormant in a place once the center of The demon empire. He was the lord and reigned supreme over Pythora, widestretched wasted landscapesbrimming with spewing vulcano's and rivers of lava. A place where demons thrive.Yet the demons do not typically stay in one place, they change dimensions to escape the sights of robots and norms alike. Going undetected untill time is right. And so it came that Pythora
was abandoned and only Fotiar stayed behind. Waiting, knowing that when the time would be right he would be summoned and he would be ready. The time came, summoned he was, and ready he is...
Fotiar - Traits
Harbours an infusion with the fire element. His stonelike bobody can withstand the intense heat the infusion causes. Sometimes coming to the surface like a volcano. The flames are not ordinary, a special composition of metals and gasses cause the flames to burn with an intese green shine and at a higher than normal temperature. It also harbours the souls of his slain victims, their screaming faces can sometimes be distinguished, normally just before you die. The flame between his horns reflects his current mood, the more angry or excited, the wilder and more abundant the flame will be.

good start!
[imaged moved to first post for your convenience]
id like to see where ur headed, cuz ur thumbs are all very interesting
I love the kind of jester vibe you have going on.The Elizabethan ruff collar on set 2 no3 is pretty rad too.
DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT I WANTED TO SEE THUMBNAILS BY THE TIME I REVISITED THIS POST!
DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME TWENTY, AND YOU BETTER HAVE ONE DAMN GOOD EXCUSE WHY YOU DIDN'T HAVE THOSE THUMBNAILS READY!
oops caps :P btw second set nr3 looks interesting
No going back now.
Edit not to bump my thread:
I did the community programme round for today. Thanks for all the comments, i hope i made some good ones in your thread.
All your thumbnails are really interesting to look at!
4, 8, 13, 15 and 2 from the most recent batch really stand out for me. I love the... juxtaposition (fuck i didnt want to use that word) of huge mass on thin legs.
I wont have any complaints no matter what direction you go in thats fo sho!
So, plenty to choose from, phew, but I made a pick, and I go for nr7 on the second sheet!
Looks like he could be a really interesting character going looking at the shapes.
Well, lets see what you pick, good luck!
My latest set, inspired by some of the multi-arm trickery by mop last year and some random alchemy stuff. I played with some settings to get more random results. I have a question too, besides which you like best. I tried elaborating on some thumbs i made, adding in some lighter values to define more detail but it didn't really work out, any tips on how to go about that process?
Set3: (will stay in this post for a while then only in the first post)

1, 6 and 9 on the last set look pretty cool
especially 6 ! it could become some kind a spooky floating devilqueen with lots of tentacles
only problem i have with it is that she is missing a narwhal horn
Very wip schmip but i wanted it out there for some direction.
Sounds like a badass concept and his head / horns with torn banners are also totally badass.

Gonna hit the sack now.
it kills a lot of opportunity to showcase ur creativity
I plan on doing a sketch or a proper drawing but i just plain suck. Expect that and a cool backstory soon.
Fotiar.
Backstory will follow.
Your assumption was right too, he is supposed to be a stony dude but i could not really get it across in the paint. I was especially aiming to make his left arm a stony lava-like pounder. I think i'm gonna do a final iteration over your paintover and then get my ass modelling
maybe you could throw in some big, gross pepperoni nipples or something...
Update:
The face is totally subject of change, i did not really find something good while painting.
Current wip is this, i changed some proportions around to make him more interesting. The rock stuff isn't on yet and the bodysculpt is also still in wip state.
I would like some comments on general feel and maybe some ideas for making him evil and integrating the rocks.
Cheers!
