alright, so after some sketching, and going through a few concepts, i arrived with this guy. He's a dolphinish creature from the sea, his race has used magic to control lava from under water volcanoes to create weapons and magic armor. so yea.. its ridiculous. haha but i think it looks cool. so whatever. although i think i want to have him some how on land in the final. not sure. anyway, i still need to keep working with some ideas. thinking about having lava flow out parts of his armor, and his upper body needs to be bigger, like in the initial front view concept.

after looking at these images, im thinking maybe more leaning towards under water now. so maybe incorporate more *fish*(fins,etc) concepts with it.
alrighty, making him more fish-like. hes also going to have a baby sucking on his teet in the final. um, also i threw on a quick color concept for the skin. i'll do more tomorrow. latas.
thanks guys. yea, one of my friends suggest the angler idea. and i was playing around with it. but i dunno, im just afraid that would be too much of an obvious choice for an underwater creature. also in the final image, i want his weapon to be one of the main sources of light. as if he uses it to light his way around under sea(sorta like the angler).
as far as the shell, still playing around with that. as of right now i cant see it functioning too well. but thanks for the feed back. appreciate it.
ok, so i've been working on the final piece. as i started painting it, i changed a few things in the face, im sure some other things will change as i paint it more and more, sculpting out the details. but alrighty, heres 2 work in progresses. In the final image, there will be more added below the image(the ground and rest of this hideous beast). i just ran out of room on the paper i was using for this sketch haha(im not a huge fan of sketching in photoshop).
last update before the weekend. I did some more work on the head, shoulder pad, and boobie region. and thanks for the refs wicked, the first image inspired me to have some blue light coming from above, so i've been putting some blue highlights on the monster now as well. but yeah, i think its coming along. any suggestions are welcome. have a good weekend.

sweet idea for a weapon, though!
...just a thought.
