So I guess I gotta post up in here!
My character's tentative name is Abdul-Halim which means "Servant of the Patient One" in Arabic. My original idea that came to mind was some type of fusion of ninja, Shao-Lin monk and Arabic desert rider. A desert based stealth character is where I will focus my character. The type of magic used will be Void type, as this will involve stealth magics and more subtle additives to attack strategies. A type of attack could involve shrouding his foe in the darkness of his own mind so mostly the magic is not for the attacks. He will fight physically hand-to-hand using Kung-Fu like styles. The actual magical artifact will be some sort of bracer or glove that is encrusted with a jewel or magic seal (shaped like the triangle 3dtotal team logo) and maybe the logo will scarred or burned into his palms somewhat reminiscent of the Shao-Lin branding on the forearms. I want to dress this character with a combo of loose fitting type pants and top that are good to keep cool in the desert but also help in stealth and maybe flow somewhat like the saffron robes of the Shao-Lin monks. Maybe some prayer beads more in the style of Islamic prayer beads instead of Chinese style?
Anyway, this is just the beginnings. I hope this type of character isn't gonna become too cliche. Wish me luck! BTW this is the first time I am posting a wip thread on this site as I have been mostly a lurker for the past year or so.

Ok here is my first sketch.
I am definitely not going to stick with this but I like the leggings. Maybe I can focus more on the thick rope motif?
Also I think his mask looks too much like a luchadore or zoro or something, its gotta go.

I haven't had the time to do anything! If it wasn't for the extension I would never have gotten anything done. Anyway here is an update. I did the base mesh head and torso. Its just a rough at this point and will be thrown into mudbox and back and retopologized.
