This is my character Bhazoth, a creature inspired by Lovecraft's stories.
Here you have some scketches of the process and the final form.

Now i'll clean the design for the front/back presentation.

All feedback is welcome.
Thanks!

Uiii! I love the chicken with tentacel beard It looks kinda cool with the crab body albeit it does not yet harmonize with the upper body Perhaps another transition between upper and lower body? Maybe it's sufficient to extend the upper body.

[dha9000]

Hahahah Chicken! I knew this would happen.

I am not sure if I am getting you. what is the problem? between pectorals and ABS? or ABS and legs?

Thanks

[PetitChat]

It's difficult to describe.. I've the feeling that his body is clinched

[dha9000]

Update with a better view and more details of the lower body.

[chrissmithgamedev]

Lovecraft would be proud. Also I think our ArtWar Champions would be fast friends
I really like that you went with a beak, sets it apart from other Mindflayer type characters. The Chitinous plates are also great, especially the lower-half of his body and the plates on the sides of his head.
Seems really solid man. Hard to point out any flaws from my perspective.
Is his right hand an actual crab? Thats really on-point.
I like that normally we see thing like this as Mindflayers and they are thin and wear robes and are clearly magic users of some kind. But this guy is real bruiser, like he's the General/Commander of all the Eldritch Horrors. Leading the Armies of C'thulu.

Thanks Chris, you are right in everything you said.
I am not sure about the height of the criature. I am thinking of doing it taller than a person or something like a titan the size of a galleon.

Here is the final model. Front view.

Next: Back view, color test and some complements.

Love his right hand. Very clever. Wings are killer too. Looking forward to seeing more.

[LensPitt]

I absolutely love your concept! It looks horrifying yet bad ass! His face is awesome, love that little beak and tentacle things.

Only thing I feel is out of place is the design of the wings. They look awesome by themselves but I feel like they don't fit with the character very well as he's pretty much all exoskeleton and sea life while they're made out of bones

[dha9000]

I have tried to find a shape between fish fin and the extremities of a lobster. I think with color it will be better.

[dha9000]

Back view. Next: Color proof

[dha9000]

Color Test. Which one do you prefer?
feedback is welcome. Thanks!
Next : Final art sketches

[berrysquare]

Awesome, I am very interested in how the final illustration is going to be!

[petrovod]

i think that all options looks good but i liked first variant. Nice character

[dha9000]

After the final art i thought about some kind of complement like a staff or something.
I am not sure that it would be necesary but here you have some sketches.

[nevs38]

Amazing character concept / development!
The blue variant caught my eye immediately! goes well with colors of the sea.

[dha9000]

Thank you all for your support. Here you have some sketches of the final art.
I think that the first one (sea whirlpool) is the best option but any feedback is welcome.

[dha9000]

Final color Front/Back

[dha9000]

Here you have the process of the final art. I chose the first one.

All feedback is welcome. Thanks for the support.
