Yeah man, that's killer! I didn't see it before the revision but I think the mid section still looks a little off compared to the rest. All the lines converging, it's the only thing symmetrical.
Great shading! i'm loving it.
The face is great!
I can see (do not know if that is you intention :P) a burning fire coming out that shoulder ala Balrog's mouth. Are you going to give some colors to it?
Keep it up!
Lovely lightning, the idea kicks ass and those hellish looking mouths on his shoulders and chest gives him an interresting demon prince look. But what is that thing on his forehead? Looks like some kind of monster teethcunt.
yeah the fire is going to have some color and I think I'm also going to play around with some basic effects (textures with alphas etc)
the stuff growing out of his forehead are horns
as for the shoulderpad, thats why there are overlapping plates between the shoulder and the chestpiece, I'll try and make it more apparent in the model. This guy is more of a heavy fighter/caster and probably lets his minions do most of the fighting.
Rockstar I'm liking the concept but it seems like there is a bit of an imbalance of detail, there is a -ton- of detail and intricacies on the shoulder and very little on the rest of the armor, do you plan on spreading some of that to the rest of his body?
yeah the legs are really rough, I think i'll probably end up making a separate concept for the leg itself and work out the armor on it. it'll have alot of similar elements from the shoulder/chest.
not a huge update, started modeling the head, went into zbrush and laid out all the main shapes down, tomorrow going to go ahead and detail the crap out of this duder.
ohhhh fancy wireframe. looks perfect for zbrush.
i think he looks a little pretty at the moment, like someone in a boyband who has a little bit of monster make-up on. make him more bad ass like your concept.
Awesome concept! Love this idea, I was basically going to build a similar guy (obviously not to that detail, can't say that I'm that good), but back to the drawing board now (not that I really ever left it).
I's shaping up nicely! One little crit thus far would be his ears look a bit too small. Aside from that, maybe bigger eyebrows would make him look more older and wiser?
Otherwise, it's coming along pretty darn sweet! Beware Tasart and his Kong battle armor. He has been going around and smashing polycounters already hehehe But Kong battle Armor aside, My "War General Faith" will woop your arse any day of the week:)
I'm quite sure this will be a top contestant. Utterly awesome concept and your zbrushing is top notch! Hope I can get some concept in the same quality to I have a chance of getting up there with you

keep on rockin'
This is really great stuff. The concept, base mesh, and detail work is all top notch! A few more updates and you'll have this thing won.
