Good afternoon gentlemen.
Still kicking around ideas, but I just wanted to reserve my spot and toss up a few quick sketches I did this morning. Originally, I was all over the idea of doing a big demon / undead sort of guy...but now I'm not so sure. This time around, I want to travel a bit more out of my safety zone and do something I normally wouldn't do.
1 / 1b - "Norm" cleric - Battle weary war veteran, scarred by battles with demons, overloaded with the proper tools to take down some baddies. Definitely not your typical "cleric" as Gary Gygax would describe it...but more of anti-hero sort of character bent on revenge, using brutal holy power to take down as many demons with him as he possibly can.
2 - "Demon" Abomination - Giant undead beast decked out in some hellish armor, wielding an ol' ball n' chain. This was my first instinct and, usually, something I would do. The problem I have other than it being something typical is that it is fairly similar to an idea I attempted last year (including the name Abomination) and makes me think I should explore different avenues.
3 - "Norm" Stalker - A tribal demon hunter dude who uses stealth to sneak up on demons and kill them swiftly. Has a bunch of severed demon heads as trophies.
4 - "Demon" Abomination - The reverse of #1. Basically a demon cleric hunter who hunts down clerics from rival factions and brutally kills them. Much like #1, decked out with all the goodies to kill his prey...just evil rather than holy.
5 - "Norm" Invoker - Aztec/ Tribal / Creepy guy wrapped in cloth with light armor that summons ghosts...
6 - "Demon" Abomination - Pretty vanilla big demon mutant guy bent on destroying the other races.
7 - "Demon" Prince - Big fat demon guy with a human pet. The prince hovers around barking out orders while his "pet" serves as a pack mule.

I concur on exploring some other ideas then the standard demon brute. He already looks to much like the winning entry in the previos dom war.
go for it
PC is so going to crush everyone this year.
description really sounds well
Also, while I was waiting for PC to come back to life, I doodled this...cleric guy portrait -
1 is really cool too though... You could perhaps think about doing both, split the polycount between them. That might be out of the safety zone.
Frump: Thanks man! I think that might split my brain in half...and probably get me disqualified :P
Kite: Cheers
New batch from me before I call it a night. I have a raging semi for alchemy. It has made me enjoy rough sketching again!

B2 - Demon Abomination - Giant undead mutant, bunch of heads popping out everywhere, giant arm for the clubbing offset by one teeny tiny arm that isn't of much use.
B3 - Norm Cleric - Old creepy priest who heals people with his
B4 - Norm Warlord - Older hermit guy wanting to protect his property. Deranged and perfectly ready to kill anything on sight.
B5 - Demon Prince(ss) - Pregnant demonic princess about to give birth to the next demon of royalty.
keep it up
1b!
B5 if you wanna go with something silly/fun/different
Think I'm going to explore 1b (Cleric) and 2/B2 (Abomination) a little further. Here's a few more focused doodles on the Cleric-
going to try and putter with a few of the abomination ones as well tonight before bed.
cheers,

lookin good so far.
The asymmetry is more appealing to me, along with the crazy badass uber glove weapon (katar?) of deth.
The guns kinda look like... well.. just plain ol guns.
warriah: Thanks dude
jox: Thanks. Good point about the guns and asymm. Judging by the sketches below, you can see I'm heading in that direction. I like the idea of just having a big ass magnum sort of pistol...or a fancy revolver contrasted by the huge gauntlet of death on the other side (and, yep, was thinking about adding a punching dagger of sorts
casey: You know you're the champ, haha. At leas the champ of my heart
Aftermath: Thanks! Your machine of doom is look niiiice
sef: thanks!
Ged: Cheers
Jackablade: Awesome, thanks. I'm definitely trying to make him more of a rough character rather than your typical standing at the back of the party kind of guy. I plan on decking him out in a bunch of "cleric" sort of gear like holy symbols and weapons of mass holy damage. What I don't want to do, though, is make him your typical Cleric that you'd see in a fantasy setting. More in the vein of spawn, I think...a guy who's been kicked around, given a special gift from god and now uses that to kill as many demons as possible. Definitely more on the side of "banishing" rather than healing, hehe.
Sadly, I fell asleep like an old man last night and didn't get around to sketching. tonight, on the other hand was more productive. I did a few doodles of the monster idea I had, some sketches of different bodytypes for the cleric and a few rough silhouettes for him as well. As mentioned above all the gear will probably be thought of once the base mesh is made and stuff..I think it'd be easier for me that way
D1 - Smaller build, big ol' sack of heads of gross ooze.
D2 - Same idea, kind of, but much bigger
bodytypes - A few bases I used in alchemy to trace over armor ideas and stuff for this guy. Not sure what to go with just yet, fatter or more ripped. Something makes me want to do the fat guy though...must be talking to bobo too much.
C1 / C2 / C3 - Cleric with different guns and small adjustments.
I had the thought of making half of his body infected by some nasty disease, giving him boils and junk...What I'd REALLY like to do is make him infected by some kind of "demonic virus" where one of his hands/arms/ parts of his face have started to turn. The rules, though, say that no mixing of anykind is allowed..and i'd hate to be disqualified again
Let me know what you think!
Gav
And oh yeah, sweet thumbs man
