LATEST UPDATE:

A little backstory... might be heavy handed...

"The liquid that courses through its body is composed of blood-locusts that act as a physical extension of his will. Seeping through the cracks in his bone-like body, they fill the Bottomless Pit's endless skies. The demon lord Abaddon rules Hell's lowest regions as an omnipotent monarch in a world of darkness...

When it feels Light intrude for the first time, Abaddon senses all that could be his."

New here, and ridiculously late coming into this. Thought I'd get in and see if I could learn something from the green and black.

Going for a classic, iconic look with this guy(which ends up feeling a little generic). Pretty much final, except for the teeth. Gotta start knocking out the body design...!

breoniks

Some rough concepts, really, really rough concepts... Should be getting to the modeling portion next.

breoniks

Not the greatest renders... but better than my horrendous painting.

Very wicked looking model. I really liked how you had those other hands of his coming into the center of his chest in your concept.. I dont see that portrayed yet in your model. Also, I think his hands should be bigger in scale like you have in your concept to look more menacing and creepy.

Loren Broach

This is cool! I'd like to see the whole body in one shot.

breoniks

Thanks guys! Here's a couple full body shots, one with clothing and one without.

I initially worked the four fingered hands into the chest and just found it too distracting and it felt a little too unbelievable. So.. now I've gone with a simple dagger/tooth-like end.

A bit of an update. Changed the wing bones drastically... they just weren't reading well enough and were getting really busy.

I'm debating whether to get rid of the cloth and go with the locusts emerging directly from Abaddon himself.

Gav

Awesome sculpt, really nice character concept as well

Ged

interesting character, didnt see this one before, are those bits flying off him going to be special effects done with alphas?

breoniks

Thanks guys!

The flying bit will be alpha cards yeah, hopefully i can pull it off, I've never made a disintegrating arm before.

Any ideas?

I'll post an update tonight, should have the game mesh done and a cast to go with it!

breoniks

Here's a temp normal map cast with some AO applied too!

Been trying to get some kind of final render with mental ray. I still need to add bloody dangling fleshy bits under his arms and other areas...
