Still thinking about the design but the main idea is still the same- a demon prince, master of thousand swords.
here are some thumbs
1. The most warrior-like type.
2. Ninja style!
3. Similar to 1. but less muscular
4. Wizard type with magic-blades around him
5. This one resembling the idea of general- demon from the first sketch.
6. The feral type. Fast and deadly.
My personal favourites are 1 and 3 what do you think?
And a little picture showing his style of fighting:
1.Base position
2.Unsheathing side-swords.
3.Throwing swords in mid-air.
Steps 2 and 3 can be repeated any amount of times. The new sword materializes in sheath immediately.
4. The position to unsheathe main sword(the one keeps his hand on on the first sketch)
5. Unsheathing and pointing sword at enemy. All of the previously thrown blades are know flying towards enemy with high speed.
6. Sheathing the sword cause in most cases there is nothing left of the enemy:D.
I think the hardest part will be to get the lower half (his legs) look cool and interesting, lets see what you got!
I think I'll go for something between number 3 and 6, and probably I'll give him more dynamic pose. As I want to give him serious-samurai look I think those are the best.
And thoughts?
also as a swordmaster you will probably want to put alot of thought into his blade itself, so weapon concepts would be insightful.
Like the idea so far, like the tall lean proportions too.
Oh and most importantly 3 and 6 for me

Scrumpy- i see your point, but read the story in this post. his proportions are justified i think.:)
408 - i still don't know if you meant: you've done the wrong thing, or that the horns are similar...:D
woogity- you're the second person which tolds me that i must really think about it. And glad that you like it!
As for the sketches i came to conclusion that i am no good at it and i am not able to transfer my ideas to it like i would like to. So here are i think the last two, showing my character in basic stance and during the battle to show some of his character(those black stuff were supposed to be blades, but i couldn't draw them properly).
Story(name is placeholder):
Zer'hatul was born as one of the weakest demon princes. He hadn't power which would let him compete with other princes, not to mention the powerful lords. His status was almost equal to the lower demon. But exept he was weakest he was also the most ambitious one. The enormous ambition to become the most powerful of demons and his inborn fusion of death gave a birth to mysterious blade. The blade of death reflected its master's characteristics. With the every opponent killed blade absorbed soul of defeated enemy. Zer'hatul began to kill the every creature he encountered in his path which gave him enormous power and battle experience. Now he is one of the most feared demons, also among his brethren. one says that the every blade Zer'hatul can create reflects the soul of killed opponent, others think that Zer'hatul is capable of creating the infinite amount of blades...
Regards!
Edit:-> oh and sorry if the story is hard to read, im a bit sleppy and did a lot of mistakes for sure..
New concept:
Story:
Zer'hatul was born as one of the weakest demon princes. He did not have power with which he would be able to compete with other demon princes, not to mention the powerful demon lords. He was banished to the circles of lower demons. This humiliation awaked his enormus ambition and rage. His emotion materialized and have taken a form of dark sword. In fury he started to slaughter his kinsmans. With the every opponent killed blade absorbed soul of defeated enemy. but with the more opponents he killed, souls he absorbed, the more he started to lose control over his mind. Thousands of souls tried to escape, but all of their efforts was in vain-that was the nature of Zer'hatuls power. Nonetheles Zer'hatuls mind was getting weaker and weaker.
As his power was rising, his pride and self-confidence also get stronger. Zer'hatul decided to fulfil his desire and kill the Lord of Demons. But he was not ready for such battle... seriously wounded, full of rage he was dying at Argehenor's feets. Then the hordes of fallen souls take over zer'hatuls body. The fury of thousand souls strucked the mighty Demon, almost killing him. Terrified by such power he used all of his remaining power and sealed the souls back in the Zer'hatuls body.
White helmet materialized on his face, and he ragained the full control over his body and mind. With one exception - he can not attack the Lord of Demons. Since then Zer'hatul became his loyal servant and general of demonic hordes. By Arghenor order Zer'hatul set of to the fourth multi-dimensional war. Only during this epic battles, when his rage is at it's peak the mask dematerializes, freeing the true power of Zer'hatul. But after a moment it comes back. But the spell is getting weaker and weaker and the day when helmet vanishes will be the first day of reigning of new Lord...
Power: Darkness
Zer'hatul disposeing the power of killed enemy's souls. Every one of them can take whichever shape. One soul is equal to one weapon . But the original power of zer'hatul was not the weapon summoning but the short distance teleportation - which let him to escape during the firsts days of his life.
+image with helmet vanishing proces and two poses during fighting.
hope you like it:)
From what I can tell it's an interesting design, though right now its hard to see what's really going on. Next time around try and nail down some of the forms so that we can get a better idea of what's going on with the concept.
Also, and I'm saying this because when you submit the design you might get called out by one of the judges, your concept name Zer'hatul is mighty mighty close to starcraft's Zeratul. You might want to consider changing it t oavoid problems later down the road.
Cool stuff though. Keep it up.
I'll check back for updates.
.
magic sugar- thank you very much!
begined to place in basik proportions and stuff:
Regards!
The thing that bother me is that stretched skin over the cheeks does not look to good yet. musk work on it...
After a little break i went back to zbrush and i cam to conclusion that he really looks too thin/weak. So i had to change some things. In fact the whole basemesh and sculpt. So here is the new version of my character
hope this is better.
HRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmm.
Isn't the hip part a bit narrow?
Well, he is a demon after all.
Looking forward to see more.
konstruct- Yes i know the new one is less orginal and more generic but i simply dont have time for some ambitious designs, so i decided to do something simple but well made. Glad that you liked it.
and of course...
MMMMMMMHRRRRMMMMMMMMmmm.(means thank you for your comment)
Stertman - Glad that you like the new one better. Thanks!
coldkodiak- Thank you! the mask i showed was just a visualisation of idea, so we will see as i will finish body sculpt.
garagarape - Thanks! The narrow hip-one was the ald one. new has more classical and human alike proportions.
WarNoodle- Thanks! Glad that you like it!
A little update( I barely can call this update, i got a little time due to my exams...:/) But quit talking here it is
Any comment & crits are appreciated. As always!
-Woog
what do you guys think?
a little update:
Oh, and if you have any tips about horn detail sculpting i would be very grateful.
regards!
-Woog
(there won't be a huge badass sword-the scabbard is a soul container)
Huh first color scheme- i suck in this to be honest... So any suggestions/maybe overpaints much appreciated!
Choose a base color, work in some of the other colors that complement it all.
Solid work man, I loved seeing the progression of this character, fantastic.
aesir- thank you! Quite cool thing!
JasonLavoie- thank you very much, glat that you like it...
A little bit of progress(the feet and legs still need a lot of work, ah i hope for deadline extension) i need some sleep...
