polycounter lvl 17
Hi folks, I made some indecipherable scribbles for all the classes and the only one I find remotely promising is this Demon Prince wielding a big block of wood. I think he could work with some refinements... but I'll keep searching a little longer

I like this, very cool, even with just a log hehehe A bit of a christ carrying the cross refference there?
I really dig the demon design, and while loving the log, it might need some more craziness.
*thumbs up*
this drawing is really great. hope your 3d is as good!
haha youtube is awesome : right around 1:45
The head shape is awesome.:D
Got some Khan chest going on.
lol.
Log is badass, cool posture, very regal and aristocratic.
Now get back to work! xD
Also would love to see the other sketches.

The plainness of the wood beam is definitely working, but I think the composition could benefit from improving the eeriness of the beam by one or more of the following:
making the wood grain super gnarled
set the beam on fire! (different flavor than orange fire?)
exposing the bark chipped away where it makes contact frequently
convert it into a demon totem pole!
add numerical carvings for number of victims
contort a spirit stuck in the wood frame, like a petrified victim
convert it into an entire tree, baring rotten/corrosive polycount fruits that drop from the branches and splatter in steamy, bubbling puddles
I'm sure you'll stay true to the awesome factor. Good luck man
this is really cool so far. maybe meld the coat into the skin a little more. it looks like the tumor is bleeding over somewhat already. do me a favor and slap phil for me, he needs to be kept in line
its looking badass regardless and ill keep an eye on this thread.
Irksomely, though, I might have to lose the log factor after re-reading the Demon rules. I missed that he has to have an inborn power of fire, ice or darkness, and that could conflict with such a prominent prop
could the log be instead a piece of rock from the demon underworld, and agree with others about insignias, scripture or victims numbers
looks like a great start!
right now theres a pretty cool hoof look going on, but the heel just seems too similar to an average size high heeled shoe;
So stylish - elegant and not overdone. It has a Capcom feel to it.
Kickass Mike!
keep going, man.
Since this guy's meant to be some kind of prince, did you consider making his block of wood something more ornate? Although that big black block does give a good imposing monolith feeling, there should be a way to give it a lot of detailing without losing that element. I would see some kind of black marble material with some interesting inset carving at both ends that are sublte enough not to steal attention from the block.
Here's what my prince is looking like now. I'm still aiming to finish him on time-- here's hoping
Well, I worked on the body & tightened things up somewhat, then did another test-bake since I can't stop myself :S
Tried him out in xNormal (that's what I used for my Mini guy, compositing three renders with the light moved)...
...and in Marmoset. I'm certainly preferring Marmoset so far.
That's it for now, I can't wait to add his moustache

BAD ASS !!
Do you have more recent stuff of this character ?
Yeh i dare you to slap a stash' on him
Other than that, Looking good, but you already knew that =p
