Old when the gods were young, burning before the suns were born, a demon lord whose name is unfathomable by mortal minds, he is simply referred to as the 'unimpressed one'.
the 'unimpressed one'.

WAIT!!! WAIT A SECOND HERE, That Looks like a CRAZY FRICKEN KEWL HEAD. For a Second I thought it was a flying lumb of shit, But now that I see its actually a HEAD, you should continue with the body. I like the Direction where this is goin yeye!
get a body for that good sir as for the head itself love the color choices and the design is quite metal<thats good! just crank it to 11 on the body as well and this will be tits.
I wanted to make the chain/restraints out of some godly light or something, but I'm going to experiment with melting chains for now, maybe later on I can test with some alpha and see if the holy godly light chains will work.
perhaps u could make the body more fun by pushing the proportions?
The head might be cool really small? ( edit: woogity beat me too it )
( perhaps Cheney's decapitated head would be nice dangling of one of yer chains? )
i love the shackles on the massive arms. have you considered maybe extending some chain behind the figure or up onto the metal parts that jet out to the sides? It would be cool to see one or two of this guy's hands still crucified and bound.
Thanks guys. I think I might try something with the shoulders as you suggested knucklebear. R4pture, I agree wholeheartedly, I'd like to have him still semi-chained. When I get down to nailing those, I'll probably refine the overall feeling a bit.
Thanks for the kind words guys, I've attached the final version to the top. I plan on doing more with the chains, but the concept is fully developed in my mind and painting it in would make no difference. I think I'm ready to hit the modeling step.
Looks wicked, I like how his featurelessness makes him looks jaded. I kind of imagine him walking around with a giant staff and his head bowed. You're still using the shackles from the grayscale sketch? Those were a nice touch...
Maybe add some kind of organization to the glow on his chest? I don't know if you want to go the glowing tattoos route, but it's evenly intense all throughout and kind of distracting.
So, I was hoping for some advice, I've got two version of this thing I am considering. Now, ignoring the obviously rough nature of the block-out, which path do you guys think I should pursue ? 1 or 2 ?
Hi Guys, thanks for the kind words, and help in making my mind up about version #2.
Woogity: The long thing coming from the back is actually a cross when looked at from the top, additionally, it's setup so if the weight on the end is pulled downward, massive pain is delivered to the creature. I'm going with the story that Satan himself imprisoned this guy, so he'd like to torture him from time to time as well.
Rooster: I put some of the images back, you're right, it is fun to see progress.
My presentation skills are pretty lacking, I'm mostly concentrated on working on the model, and I often forget that taking time to make decent renders and post good shots of progress is part of the contest, and generally fun for everyone. anyway, here is a quick shot of the ZB basemesh.
I'm actually going to update again soon because I want to change the detail on the side of the head, it's been pointed out that it's overly noisy and I agree; hence the paintover.

I also like him chained up, perhaps more. Like using elements from old school back/neck/spine/leg braces. There kind of creepy in design.
much awesome work:thumbup:

It doesn't have to be full on white to look as hot - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0604/equinoxprom_eit_big.jpg
