Dominance War II - Pizza Explosion
Good to be here all! This humble artists wishes to play.
Vanity the Torturer...
A shadow in profession and in life; this twisted husk of a man slaves out his oath to the great Polycount legions inflicting pain. He is a Torturer, and in result an information retriever. Vanity has a very unique set of armor that covers up his disgusting and twisted body; a body of his creation; for you see Vanity enjoys bringing pain on himself as well as his victims. His armor opens up to reveal his body to his subjects; another form of Torture. He squeals and shakes with anticipation as he shares a painful bonding experiences with the countless Generals and Officers that he hunts. He caries a backpack with all the tools of his trade; with a flick of a switch it unfolds into a tripod with several levels of devilish toys. He moves in silent, in the shadows, finds someone who knows; and body snatches him in the night. He then takes them to a secluded area and spends several days extracting the information on all the enemies' movements.
If detected Vanity has a large pair of scissors that he wields with pin-point accuracy. His knowledge of anatomy makes death certain an excruciating.

You've already got more artwork in this single post than most people have in their entire thread. I really like the top the concept the most, the one with the hood over his head. Though he could use some teching up. It's good to see you've explored this character in a few different variations. Keep pushing the concept man and you'll end up with a solid entry.

Here are the first ideas for his armor. His armor is only going to cover his vitals... I figure a pain freak like him wouldn't mind getting his arm blown off on occasion; being an amazing surgeon such as he is, it would be easy for him to re-attach it during battle. His armor will open up and fold back behind him hence the seam down the middle of all of them.
cool shapes, he's like a kroenen wannabe, his armor looks too orc like, looks like lord of the rings stuff, just seems too bulky for this kinda guy, if he's a surgeon/torturer he's probably fairly precise, he'd probably avoid any kind of real combat, i'd make him slightly hunched over with a backpack filled with tools, kind of like a scavenger. Maybe his armor isn't really meant to protect him as much as aid him in his work, so like it makes all of his tools more accessible, like a giant apron with pads that hangs over his neck with little scalpel handles and what not sticking out from the sides. maybe also make it easily removable since you never know when he might have to perform surgery on himself in an emergency, so maybe its connected by a couple of easily detachable straps and thats in. Same thing would go for the helmet, u know is he ashamed of his scars? if he doesn't really care then he might display them proudly, i'd add some loose hair as well, kind of make him almost gollum like, totally dilapidated. he might be concerned with his appearance so he might have stuff covering his face and scars and maybe have a "handsome looking" mask. just think about functionality and what would fit this character, so far i don't think any of those armor pieces work that well with this guy.
For some reason the "vanity" name plate reminds me of those neon hotel signs you see in run down parts of town.
Your sick and deserve my support in completing this model.
keep on!
So I realized I hate my freakin character and didnt want to work on him so I concepted this out... Gore Weave! He murdered the shit out of Vanity to take his spot!
Torso is pretty much final, the gauntlets are just a rough to figure out how its gonna look.. His armor is a mesh of scrap metal and random parts.
