The main idea:
A stylish shape shifter and rotten to the core villain.

Moodboards:

Finally, i was able to put together the first pack of thumbnails. But still not satisfied with them

I've tried to organise my thoughts about the character:

• Stylish in the outside and rotten on inside
• Heavy head piece
• Chained mask
• Main colours: Purple+black + the colour of the magic
• Twins? Two form male and female, like Loki
• Coat or cape: nice cover, but the inner part is rotten flesh

Finally i've broken trough the wall of art block! And got the sparkle of the flow and inspiration.

So, here is the new way of Decay:

I'm not finished all the three version but i couldn't wait to share with you the new ideas
The board should be updated because new inspirations have come up, like this Xerxes (300) like outfit. Golden panties, jeeej!

I like it a lot so far!! Really digging the gold ribcage on the one on the left. Can't wait to see where you take it

I'm happy. With these three variations i've taken the next steps. I can't wait the next weekend to get more time to paint...

Mixing the outfit variations is the best part. And after that the colour variations

What do you think about them? I try to move forward to a really extreme character, so i'm really appreciate any kind of wild suggestions

[bohemiannihil]

Thank you! I definitely keep the bones as decorations, and pimp them some nice necromancer carvings. I can't wait to work on the details

I was spent the holidays with drawing fanarts... Now i'm picking up the things here. Know I won't be able to finish the whole contest but i wanna do some nice character design at least.

So i've been reworking the costume ideas:

That jewellery with those tentacle-portal-rings, yay
