This is my first time posting to the CGSociety forums, but I'm really excited to see what everyone else is doing, and get feedback on my Dominancr War III design. :)

This is the basic idea I've got so far. Right now, he's naked, but I want to give him a lot more individuality and pizazz when I add clothing and armor, and of course the artifact. I was thinking some kind of uncut gem that was taken from the depths of his planet and is embued with great power?

Also, I'm trying to think of a way to make his head/face a little more expressive without looking cute or silly. Even though he is an elien-looking creature, I want people to be able to identify with him.

Thanks in advance for any input!

I got some suggestions on deviantArt, so I decided to work with those. Edited the eyes, gave him some armor, and changed the back half of his body. I also added some more angles, and a motion sequence at the top.

I like that in the update you added the plating. It makes the creature look like it could take more of a hit, but I think there should be even more. Remember this creature is supposed to be a hardcore warrior, spelldude, whatever, and is being sent to fight an entire war against machines on it's own. Make it a hardcore tencitcle thingy!

Good point! Right now he's naked, since I haven't come up with an armor design yet. It will have to be something that doesn't catch or snag easily, though, since he moves close to the ground. Maybe metal plates on his belly, like the scales of a snake...?

Do you think I should add more tentacles, or just make the ones he has look stronger? Add some suckers or something?

Thanks dryst! :)

It'd be up to you with the number of tenticles. The character is very smooth and slender. From an artistic standpoint I'd like to see some harsher angles and or a powerful shape to the armor to add visual contrast to the overall character. Also in what way does this character attack? Do the end of his tenticles have something damaging? Does he use a weapon?

Have you decided on a color scheme?
