Hello everyone! This is my first art contest to enter and I'm really excited!

The character I am creating for this competition, Nyx, is a succubus that mainly achieves her goals through mind-control tactics and her general alluring nature. Nyx is part of a high-class social status within a population of unsuspecting humans. In the presence of others, she presumes a human-like form and her succubus features are not visible. She reveals her true form when she has gotten into position to feed on her victims. At this time, she reveals that she has more demon-like features. Men and women alike find themselves allured by her due to her magic, but they attribute those feelings to her beauty. She is skilled at hiding her kills from others and continuing to live a lifestyle among the humans. She generally looks down upon the humans she lives among for being so gullible and blind.

Here are some references I'm using:

Hello everyone, here is an update to Nyx:

I decided to scrap my previous idea of Nyx in the interest of making something that I could more easily flesh out in 3D. I may come back to my previous idea in the future, but for now, I decided to push more into the demon aspect of the succubus, and take her deeper into the scary-sexy realm.

I really am hoping to use more reference from bones to create her armor so she could become more a scary demon, while still retaining an attractive aspect as well.

So far here is a quick screenshot of where I am with her, her armor is still not completely fleshed out at this point but I think i have an alright starting point here:

I made some more progress on my succubus, i'm still trying to block out some of her outfit, but here is what i have so far:


can't wait to get back at it again soon!
