Hey man,
i really like the middle one, his 4 arms modify his anatomy and make his body really weird, unsettling, as two additional arm should, i also like that they're placed like wings, on the back
Hey mn, thanks for your feedback.
I'm agree with you about the wings-kinda-thing from 3rd option, and I plan distort even more that arms that 2nd has.
I could merge the best looking aspects from 3rd and 2nd to form the final design of the character, what do u think?
I agree, making the two pair of arms really different seems like a good option, in terms of anatomy, check out the witcher 3 b&w, has some pretty cool, and plausible muscle grouping : 
Awesome suggestion!
I will check that stuff you mentioned.
A friend told me the same thing about the arms, is more credible to have them from the torso and not from the shoulders.
Cool design! Can't wait to see your thumbnails. In the end, if your character doesn't walk, have you considered giving him atrophied legs?
I actually forgot that option!
That's a pretty nice idea! Thank u.
Somehow prefer the last one.
But first and second could work too.
Hey, Christmas kept me busy and didn't have much time to keep it up these days.
Since I finally have the design finished I started thinking about the illustration and what could be in there.
Here I did some value sketches.
I'm thinking on a night scene with inside a deep woods full of corpses.
@acolet there could be a problem with the requerimients if some little parts (like 20% of the character) aren't shown?
I was starting to feel anxious about the deadline and when I returned from vacation I found out deadline extended 7 days!!!
Shouldn't be a problem. We want to clearly see the character, but some parts may be obscured or cropped, up to around 20%. The main issue would be if the judges felt they can't see the character properly, then they would give a worse score to the entry.
Good luck on finishing! 
Today I did a progress on the illustration composition and palette. The general idea is Umthakati inside a deep woods full of corpses (product of this current war of Villains vs Heroes). We see him using the corpses for power gain.
I liked the palette but I feel I could explore more color options, any ideas?
