Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum.
I want to be on the green team this time.
Last year I was in CG society, but I didn't seem to get any feedback or help from the team mates,
which I really needed. Hopefully that will change this time around.
Here's what I have so far.



I'm trying to do a Demon Lord, hopefully there's more concepts on the way.

Aravindan

Hey guys,

I started on the head and I hope to get more done soon.

jerry

He's looking cool, what race / class is he?

Aravindan

thnx jerry, he's a Demon / Demon Lord

PeterK

I like how his shoulder bones extend onto his chest, you should run with that, it could make for some interesting anatomy.

Aravindan

Thanks Peter


Here's what I've been working on.
I might make one hand bigger so it can hold the weapon and also rest it in the back. Containers are just ideas that occurred to me. The idea of the containers are to collect norms souls and machines oil after killing them.
And maybe have him use it against them. But still working at it...

Kamui

You have some nice ideas coming along and judging by your initial sculpt, there will be some really good details. I think maybe you should try to flush out the overall idea of your character so you can unify all these elements together. I guess what i'm trying to say is maybe come up with some sort of story for him.

Also, we haven't seen a full body silhouette yet.. what do you have planned for the legs?

theStoff

good job with the concepts. It's really well done but I agree that you should have a full body sketch. Also maybe one arm could be a blade or a claw of sorts to attack its victims.

Kyler M

I'm really liking your newest stuff. Can't wait to see more of the concept.

And I agree with kosh, a full body view would good to see, and i'd give us more to critique

Aravindan

Thanks you guys.

You guys are right, I do have to come up with the entire body but I just need to figure out what the lower body will be. Hopefully I figure something out soon.
As for the blade I might take up on the idea of making the hand into the blade, sword or some sort of weapon. I will try to put up some more concepts.
Here's my latest update on the face.

Aravindan

Btw, he doesn't have 3 heads its different views which are made to look as one. Just for fun.

WarNoodle

awesome job man! looking fantastic!

Zatoichi

Wow, that head is looking magnificent. You definitely know what you are doing.

My only critique would be that all the organic shapes in the jawline and neck seem a bit random, maybe ground some of it using some anatomical reference.

woogity

very interesting design he looks sort of like some kind of ornate primate. like a statue of a gorillia god or something. im really interested by the jars with oil and souls can you get an image up explaining where those are located on his gear, the weapon is super nasty too!

Zatoichi touched on something there, i think he has a bit of driftwood neck going on< lots of holes> it looks cool but it might work better feeding into the body if he had some smoothed structure in the area.

-Woog

shotgun

that head is really, really really cool

i think that:
a. u should incorporate more monkey/beastly/hairs-ly elements into the rest of the design
b. incorporate a mechanism in the armor, over the elbow, that will allow it to bend along with the arm
c. a really cool face for the armor design may distract from the main head. try somthing different? maybe he has some soul-releasing feature in the front of the armor where he can shoot out the tormented souls he captured as offensive weapon...

in the initial concept u have these tubes-things connecting to his head, i like the idea of it feeding off some tubes, the canisters may work with that...

Azimn

I think I like the ears best. I was also wondering if he is supposed to look mean, lost or in pain. I can't really tell, which now that I think of it might be kinda cool... Either way I can't wait to see the rest of the body.

iatriki

that face is awesome!

Aravindan

WarNoodle- thank you very much
Zatoichi- thanks I'll keep that in mind when modeling
woogity- thank you and I'll definitely keep a form without too many holes
shotgun- I thought of that myself and I'm sure ur right about it. I do want to incorporate a soul releasing feature but I haven't determined everything yet.
Azimn- I'm glad you liked the ears, I still need to work on his face more, and I should have some pictures soon.
iatriki- Thanks for the kind words

Here's a side view,
I was having hard time figuring out what his legs were suppose to be and I kind of settled on this. But I'm still not 100% sure on it, I'm still working on it. The big circle things on his shoulder is a big circle stone and for the soul tanks I just want it in one place but I'm not sure so I have it put in both so you guys can tell me which is better; inside the circular stone or hanging on the hip. The back piece I don't know what I was thinking but I thought it might look cool on him. I also thought it will be a cool place for his weapon to rest on, although it looks like a weapon it self. I should have some rough 3d concepts hopefully by the end of today. C & C are welcome as always.

- Update -

Aravindan

Still working on him, here's my latest update:

kipiripi

its looking like good aravindan,I like details..maybe only you need to change shin a bit...keep going..

aesir

Nice polishing, keep it going!

Exitrockstar

Amazing detail but those feets dont look right for the character.am just saying friend..but great inspiration for others friend...props...

Gav

Awesome! Echoing the feet comments, I think even just giving it more of a humanoid shape might help...defining the ankle more (like tapering it in from the calves) Looks cool though man, loving the detailing.

Gav

Aravindan

Wish I saw the replies a little earlier. I didn't really see the latest replies from Exitrockstar and Gav but thanks guys. Also thanks to aesir and kipiripi for your comments every bit helps.
This is what I have so far and if the leg still seems weird please let me know, I'll fix it up.


Here are my latest updates:

javier.deandres

has done an incredible job, a very solid figure with much detail, perhaps some day be able to model as well as you... congrats

joolz8000

Awesome. Just awesome.

mikezoo

Great attention to detail. cool horns differently some battle scars on him. :thumbup:
what mat is that by the way?

r4ptur3

love your skin work -- lots of progress since I checked in last!

Aravindan

Sorry for not replying to you guys, thanks for the kind words. The MAT is western clay by Ralf Stumpf.
I've been having some internet issue's but I went ahead and worked on my final stuff.
Here's the shot of my progress... almost done the final images I will post it in a bit.

MoP

Please let me know if anything needs to be fixed.
I was wondering about the image below and if I would get disqualified if I use this background for my presentation shot?

jeremy price

as far as i understand it i think your background is legit

r4ptur3

yeah i am pretty sure it is legit -- nice work dude!

Aravindan

Thanks jeremy price and r4ptur3.
I've decided to go with the all grey background just because it brings him out more. Thanks once again for the feedback.

dehebo

atmospheric beauty, the white streaks made me think of the 'hand of Saruman'

Aravindan

Thank you dehebo
