[ersinerturk]

[Ferx]

Hey Andy,

Your concept looks really cool :D Like the idea of the cannon. Agree that your demon can be a bit more heavy , only a comment :) Good luck and waiting for more updates ! Cheers!! :beer: ... oh no, forgot the beer ... :D

[ROBOTTANK]

..thanks for the comments guys, I'm still sifting through ideas..

(no name yet)..this is a warlord, 60-100 ft. Definitely the largest living devil in hell, but not quite the most powerful. There are many regions of hell and this warlord only controls a third of them. From his enormous flaming mouth; he releases flaming tortured entities which travel through his victims, devouring and burning them from the inside out. Hanging from his massive horns are opponents; leaders of other regions, he leaves them displayed as trophies, to show intimidation to other powerful opponents, and to forewarn them, to surrender. To conquer hell is a never-ending battle, it grows due to many living entities and organisms in the lavas, the underworld expands, in which new regions are created, armies emerge, demon-kings are created who oppose threat....if it wasn't for these living flames and other elements, this warlord would be half his size. Ash, hell fires and burning souls make up this massive devil.......more to follow

Hey Andy,

Cool update :D Like the idea of the double body in the character, cool!! The head looks really nice too! You used the same reflex image for the bellys?? Look a bit cloned, you can "distor" the reflex image with liquify filter on photo shop to no look cloned. only a comment :) Waiting for more updates!! Cheers!! :beer:

[DeadInTheAttic]

The one with the large chin I prefer most. Got a bit of the devil in spawn, though I think, yours will be more brutal ;)

[NavigatorJones]

I love the first head design, and the middle pic in the thumbnail shot :D!

[GaeasHerald]

The demon lord with the two torsos was awesome, and these head designs are too. Great work, keep it up.

yeah, I cloned the body to save time being that it was just an idea/concept. I chose the other character; Ferrum, for my entry character. But many thanks for the information on photoshop, I am very new to digital art (1 yr.) and all the help I can get is much appreciated.

DeadInTheAttic, NavigatorJones, GaeasHerald, thanks for the feedback & comments..

[ROBOTTANK]

still trying to nail down the overall design of my character, not quite there yet...

[farazmobin]

[ROBOTTANK]

hey farazmobin, thanks for the comment.

Just wanted to take a little break from my other character and create an Ice Warlord for fun...

[Ferx]

Hey Andy,

Really nice updates :D Like a lot the pet weapon concept, great!! The Ice Demon lord looks totally cool :D (pun intended :D ) Waiting for more updates on your concept :) Cheers!! :beer:

[vegasmike]

Great work man. Thanks again for the feedback...looking forward to seeing what else you have!

[MartinNielsen]

Even though that Ice Warlord is just for fun, I think it has great potential. You should continue working on it, in my opinion.

[ShamesArt]

what amazing concepts :eek: great work mate :thumbsup:

[ROBOTTANK]

vegasmike: thanks, your welcome for the feedback

MartinNielsen: when I rendered the ice warlord I liked it a lot and considered this for my entry, but I was really interested in my other character FERRUM, still am, wish I could enter two, but I'm glad you like it, I appreciate your comment

ShamesArt: thanks a lot, glad you like

Hi Andy.
The illustration is great and full of details. :thumbsup: I like the animals with gun in their mouth!
But about the server! I had the same problem too! and after a few hours I checked my final entries and they were there! Just check it now! ;) Don't miss the challenge! And if the problem still exists, just mail them! Maybe it helps!
Best wishes:
Alireza

"Due to hundreds of users trying to submit their DW finals at the same time, the DW system is doing some spectacular and extraordinary crashes. To compensate, a 12 hour extension has been given to insure everyone gets their entries in some time tonight. "


There's nothing lost. :)
But you got the mail as well, I guess.

Very nice job, Andy. A bit dark on the character though. Wish you all the best!

[DDS]

great illustration! Lots of stuff going on man but in a nice way, also the FX on the guy/gun are very nice. I totally luv it, good luck!

[ROBOTTANK]

My final images, thanks to everyone for their interest in my character's development and the comments, this contest was an awesome experience:

[ROBOTTANK]

ario- thanks a lot man, yeah, I'm relieved, I got in on time :)

yakonusuke- thanks, I really didn't know what to do with the colors for the character, it was a last decision that just happened, I liked the black-rocky skin but didn't know how to approach it, but yeah, it is a bit dark..

DDS- glad you luv it! I think the effects on the gun was also a last minute addition.

I appreciate all the comments guys. :)

[farazmobin]

big boomer kinda fella. would love to model this man.

[ROBOTTANK]

farazmobin- haha! hell yeah! man, I wish I knew 3D to model him! I'd love to see him in 3D! :D

[Ferx]
