K, well here are 19 thumbs of demon ideas I had…
Most abominations and some leaning more towards demon lords.

            ...anyways, not sure which one I will pick at the moment.

Hey…
Alot of nice thumbs in there. Couldnt quite pick a favourite one… 6 could definately be worked into a very intimidating abomination, 11 Looks like an awesome idea for a demon lord, i think one ingredient in a demon that is very cool is a strong personal character and this one seems like it could have it. Also the open belly in 11 is cool, hes like “welcome out my minions, help yourselfs, feast on their flesh…” :slight_smile: 17 Looks quite bad ass also… good work so far, keep it up!

I really like 1,5,14,16. I think that some of the others might look a little too much like tyranids and zerglings though. Keep developing them, some have the capacity to look really badass. I wish I had the time to enter this time, I told myself I would, but alas I cant :frowning:


#5

Thanks for the feedback guys! Its helping me narrow down the choices a little.
Ill probably let this sit here for a day or 2 and see if I get any more feedback(more of a consensus). When I have some time tomorrow or the next day ill try to concept a few of those and see where we go from there!


#6

Mi vote goes to 11 and 14. Both have that thing that sets them apart from other entries. 7 is great too. Can’t wait to see which one you choose


#7

Nice lot of thumbs! I really think 3 is a very strong design, even at that size I see some cool details emerging. 1 is instantly demonic thanks to the horns, 7 has potential, but you’d have to figure out a good way to distribute the weight of the body. I rather like number 11 too, though not sure whether he might be a little too humanesque? Doesn’t come across as a god-like foe.

Looking forward to seeing which ones you’ll go with!


#8

Thanks for the feedback and advice. I think I might have narrowed it down to the ones I’ll run with, but we will see…


#9

So far numbers 1, 11, 14, and 16 have been the most popular, so when I get some time off this week I’ll be doing some concepts for them and maybe a few others…


#10

nice thumbnails, looking forward to see what you will come up with!!


#11

This is demon #11 “the Devourer”.

“He is a demon lord that pretty much commands the troops at the front line. He hangs back barking orders while supporting the line with bursts of “Death magic” and devastating swings from his glaive. The most fearsome ability of his, is his tendancy to scoop up handfulls of dead and dieing and swallow them whole. After “digestion”, the bodies of the dead pour from his stomach and go forth acting as undead recruits for his use.”

1 of at least 4 concepts that ill be trying out from the thumbnail page…


#12

By the way… is there a way to change your threads title or am I stuck (sorry Im a noob)? Since I may not be doing an abomination anymore I kinda wanted to change it.
Just curious, all help appreciated.


#13

cool!
what is he burning in his hand?
the crown on top is a bit too helboyish in my opinion…


#14

Thanks man.
Hes sorta casting a death spell so I decided to put some sort of skull like shape in there… so I went with a bull like skull thing… heh
And now that you mention it the halo does look sorta hellboy-ish… so I’ll have to do something with that.


#15

heres concept for thumb #1

This is the concept for demon #1
Haven’t really come up with a back story for this guy but I got some fun ides for him.

I liked how this one came out… might work more with him regardless of whether or not I use him for Dominance War.

hope you all enjoy!


#16

The concept for demon #14

Basically its a many headed abomination that lumbers around crushing and grabbing enemies with its tongues. The real use of this demon is for demoralizing the enemy. The many heads on its body constantly scream and wail, disheartening its foes while boosting the demon army’s morale.


#17

The concept for demon # 16

Massive behemoths who cut through armies and smash their foes to dust. These demons mostly attack with their large club like arm, the many torsos growing out of it grasp or cut at the enemies who aren’t crushed by the massive appendage. They often drag with them massive stones to counterbalance their huge arm and use as a make shift flail.


#18

So here are the main possibilities for the demons I will be using in Dominance War IV. I decided it would be easier to compare them if they were all right by each other. personally I’m leaning towards Demon B at the moment. Any opinions or advice would be much appreciated and all of these demons are subject to change.


#19

I think B is the best one. It’s more unique and looks less human than the others.


#20

WOAW… man all ur concepts are damn good… really like ur style… awesome stuff… liked all the character description that u have given also… beautiful… but for me i felt among all “the Devourer” is the best… that ll be awesome to model… but even demon 2 is good…
