DWIII-2D-Ksan-Lolita
I have watched over the shoulders of my peers for the last 2 wars and am now thrilled to enter battle myself. I plan on doing some kind of artifact user that calls upon some holy power to move monstrous ancient rune-like creatures. My scrawlings will be up very soon.
Time's up for me, and this is what I turned in. For better or for worse, I finished something in the short time I had available. Best of luck to all competitors.

Some prodigies are more special than others and can tap into the god's power. These are the invokers. They become that way by learning to use an ancient artifact (think like the puzzle from hellraiser). Once solved, The connection is permanent and they become very powerful. However, it comes at the cost of some of their sanity. The mischievous God takes some of their mind in place of his power. As a result the invokers are easily upset and startled. Although something like holy saints in the eyes of their followers, not all are good and not all are bad. Their power is frightening as much as it is inspiring and most religious sects tend to forbid the attempt of connection. Radical movements encourage it, thus leading to a group of them wandering on a mission. Most invokers are desperately clinging to reality but some are lost in their own minds.
Here are some thumbnails and sketches. I am really trying to mix tribal with modern and a touch of dominatrix feel. I am really interested in a lot of junk and detail without using armor. In my mind I am almost inspired by a voodoo priestess or witch.
I am doing more elaborate sketches so I can see what I like and want to mix or match. The rock guy was originally what they would be invoking, but I think god possessed rock qualifies as "magical gollum" So as adoable i think he is he has been scrapped.
Any thoughts are appreciated and more to come.

last pic is awesome
F and Golem looks good
I guess I am shifting gears a bit. I appreciated what everyone had to say and so I am considering what people liked but keeping my own preferences as well. Here are new thumbs and other things. I did some more sketches and a quick comp to play with color and lighting. As you can tell I am leaning more in the direction of 1 or 2 in thumbs cause I like the way they feel.
Im gonna have a lull for a bit to do some other work, but I am going to try to work on it at night. I'm still dabbling and appreciate thoughts.
