Hi everyone,
I decided to finally start a thread here and show my process. This character is heavily inspired ny Battlechasers and Darksiders franchises (obviously )
I started working on a concept art almost from the beginning and here is what I got at the end of my concepting stage. I'm still working on the weapon concept for this character. And yeah, it will be attacking unit of the Fire element.

I started with small silhouettes, tried few of them without any success. Then, I did a base sketch in Zbrush and painted over it searching for the design I like.

Now I'm slowly polishing highpoly model.

[malcom]

Awesome concept there. The 3D version seems to be coming along nicely as well.

[samarskiy]

Thank you, Malcom. I hope I will be able to make it in time.

[samarskiy]

Added some polypaint as a color reference.

[Tijerin-art]

Cool! It's awesome. I can't wait to see it with textures.

[samarskiy]

I'm continuing to polish some parts and adding a first pass of Vertex paint.

[Wienkind]

Very nice, but I feel like the feet need some work, but perhaps it´s because the claws are missing! : )

[samarskiy]

Yeah, feet are still from the "concepting" stage. I am currently refining all the pieces from top to bottom.

[marianoeliceche]

Nice! looks great

[Fraiselin]

This is looking awesome! Are you still planing on giving him flaming hair like your concept?

[giagiastoons]

can't wait to see how this turns out, he looks amazing

[yorkomo]

damn the concept and sculpt are both equally amazing!

[samarskiy]

Thank you very much for the replies. Unfortunately I was pretty bad with time management on this model and didn't have enough time to make proper retopo and texture. But I will do it later, after the end of the contest.
Here are the final sculpt and the weapon for this demon. I hope you enjoyed watching my process, because I really enjoyed making this model and definetely learned a lot.

[samarskiy]

And, since this is the last day I could work on the model, I tried to render it in marmoset for the final image using just vertex color. I wish I had more time to make it right, but for now - this is all I could do whithin given time. I will do a proper lowpoly and texture later and share it on my artstation page.

[Tijerin-art]

It looks magnificent! Congratulations

[samarskiy]

Thanks!
