@3dc Yes, will do Thank you!
@br00dley Got him done and ready for the final piece!
@Gil_Ascher Thank you!! Will be showing the colors in the next post!
@krizevil Thank you! Will do! he's sort of a mix between alphonse from Full Metal Alchemist and Imperius from Diablo 3

@PeterH Got the name down too
Also helped establish the narrative behind to better guide the rest of the work

It's sort of a mix of StarCraft and Diablo. This creatures in his arms are some kind of parasite that has taken over his mind and body. They've come to the realm of humanity and are taking over.

They've now found their way into the gate for reaching the heaven like realm. Gate of which my main character is guardian of.

So regarding Eels Mcgee here... he's a human soldier who's fallen to the parasites control. Whilst Abscelon here is a deity from that other realm that keeps unworthy beings from entering through said gate.

Will be exploring this further and start testing powers for my champion

Update!
After really settling for a narrative I had a better picture of the roles of the characters, and where I want this to go.

So Eels Mcgee's ears looked like an Elves. Ever since I was drawing him this bugged me with maybe trying this parasyte thing with multiple races. Hence these guys:

Seeing the design of other parasite-ish creatures like the facehuggers, necromorphs, clickers... guided me to try mixing pieces of multiple things, bones, muscles... And establish sort of a theme for the infection.

I decided to dive deeper into what the evil my characters are fighting is, so that I could now with a much clearer vision, develop a much richer and consistant general picture of things.

These guys only have mixes of sea creatures mashed into them and aren't exactly infected, but they drive some of the point home.

Now as for the character I don't think it'd be geat to have an Imperius looking dude fighting lobsters and shrimp. So will be adding another character. Good thing is he can be any race, make him sort of a fisherman to keep him within theme, or a pirate or something that's not supposed to hunt fish so that the evil is truly his weakness and there can be a real struggle in this narrative.

I realize I really underestimated the importance of the narrative and now have a lot to add and some to take out, but I also like this a lot better now.

thank you to anyone who took the time to read this

@PeterH I really liked the light source too, I'm gonna try to bring it back into these . It makes the disease recognizable and really pop out in a much more simple and less gruesome way.

@mr_dessin Thank you! Keeping it up! and amping it up!

Trying everything I could come up with for the whole fisherman thing
So many ideas! Please Help

Thank you so much for your comments! <3 I was completely blank
@mr_dessin Thank you! You're right, that would also help stepping it up! Will be posting some soon!
@innocent YES! <3 give me another hug! :')

Sorry for the google drive links
For some reason I haven't been able to upload any images into the forum
The submition button disappeared before the countdown and I just freaked out

I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out, hope anyone actually gets to see it and I will keep trying to upload it

Had a good war,

cheers

So characters name is still Abscelon, he's from a tribe of dwarves that live from the sea. He's missing one foot and a hand, which he replaced with equipment for fishing and swimming. In the illustration he's using an underwater breather and has a spell mark that adapts his senses to the depths of the ocean.

This creatures he's fighting are the result of a virus that's emerged from the bottom of the occean. The spread has affected his people and represents a big threat to them and all other tribes around them. They've all become allies to fight the upcoming hoard, but this time they've decided to strike first

Social Media:

Oh God! @.@ Thank you so much will do so right away
