Going to see what I can do with this inspiration board, going for a dark one and for a humanoid demon look. debating how human and the general anatomy at this point. going to block out in Zbrush and do some quick paint-overs. for a start.

Got a rough shape to work from, going for a more lizard like legs and a overgrown bone look. I think ill break symmetry in the arms and torso by having one that's a heavier gauntlet or growth and the other that's his casting hand, so an elemental vibe to it. I thinking of the "hammer and anvil" in which one arm is used to shield and grapple the other to attack or cast with. Going to go for skeletal muscle look with the spine from tail to head and the skull part of a dragon or demon look though I'll do iterations on that to settle on a design. Weapon a Glaive of some sort sporting a device from which he can fuel it with his casting arm. Still roughing it out but I'm excited with the theme. Good luck everyone!!

Blocking out the face, trying to decide how human the head shape is and getting the mouth and teeth sorted out. Going to add horns but I need to play with their placement and how they curve.

Dialed back the leg joints, need to fix the ankles, thought a bone plate on the front would be interesting but right now it just looks sort odd. Going for that lithe muscular look. Still set on my armor idea at least for the hands. I like how my horns are but I might tweak them a bit to interplay with the ears or just add more. Going to do paint-overs for some of the armor design and maybe for an idea of the coloration.

So im still making my soulbreaker, but im adding a twist to his design. I was thinking at work how a generic demon isnt as complex as id like. So im making him a warlock type that's wearing the demon kinda like power armor. pulling on tendon rings to manipulate the fingers and legs. I will try to make a render of him and the demon apart and then them together as the final. but I think it will be fun and challenging this way. Need to fix up asymmetry in arms and manipulate what i'm dubbing the soul-breaker shell to have a bit more interesting design. The human model I created from my own base. I made some simple boots and used extract to make clothes. I was debating on a cane and hat of some kind that interplay and is over-layed by the demon shell.

Playing with the aysmetery of the arms , want the bone looking one to be the the part the mage channels through to cast different methods of destruction. Going to modify the elbow joint on each side. fix up the feet and the human facial structure under the mouth part, and of course make the rest of this thing

Polishing more, Base color to mix it up, Did a sort of heart core in the center since it was an empty space. going to tweak the arms a bit more refined the human lips a bit and broke up the organic sections.

Changed up his one arm a bit more. fixed some proportions.
