Class : Invoker
Artifact Weapon : I'm partial to Swords, although a Great Hammer would work better. (Ice)


More to come....Probably best to put your warmest hides on...it's gonna get real cold here...

[katana]

Thinking twin Kukris and ancient scrolled armor...right now the shoulder pads are to close and to small, but I might make them more to protect the extensors on the neck...more to come and still a WIP obviously...

[NeoGeo]

good start

[markus_omega]

awsome start i love it :P. keep it up i cant wait to see more.

[katana]

Blocking in the proportions. The armor isn't a final shape, just a place holder..it's going to be quite a bit different. The character will be refined some more over the next few days. I also hope to post my production schedule using Freemind..a very useful program off the web. The chest is still flat and the arms a bit small...

[NeoGeo]

awsome MOAR but do i see some robotic knees there no no don't cheat

[katana]

Last update for the night...I like the hands, but the position is not quite where I want it. The Kukri will probably get moved for weight. Also the left side of the pectoralis and serratus isnt quite doing it yet. The ball knee is part of my drawing process and not a robotic part...more tomorrow.

[MonteCristo]

Yeah. He looks like he could generally kick the crap out of most any adversary. Keep refining it, but I think the head is on a good track so don't change it too much IMO, if at all.

edit-- just read the back-story. I really like the way you treated this.

[killadee]

looking good so far katana, keep u the good work.

[omnicypher]

i really like the head/neck armor. left forearm and thigh seem a bit long. and to me the weapon shape doesnt seem to fit the personality of the character. the character screams big and badass and the weapon says stealthy and agile. im gonna keep an eye on this thread, it seems like this could turn out to be great. keep it up!

[katana]

Thanks Omnicypher. Stealthy and agile? hmm...I meant it to be a weapon weilding invoker...anyone else have an idea about weapon vs. look at this early stage?

Yep..I was getting tired...forearm is to long and the massive thighs are make the lower legs puny...I'll fix it up.

I wasn't going to change the head...Thank you for that...MonteCristo

[NeoGeo]

big ass hamer or axe he needs to hold with two hands or that chain thing with a spiked ball on the end something heavy

[katana]

I shrunk the right forearm by 10%, lengthened the lower legs and shortened the thighs a bit. I got rid of the Kukri and replaced it with a staff for the time being, befiiting his magic use. The angle of the staff doesnt show the lower part behind his leg that well, so I'll have to adjust that. and it's just a placeholder anyway...Thanks all..Keep the comments coming..it helps alot!

[katana]

Ice daggers....with Threedy's icons for pommels. I have one more weapon choice to show before moving onto the armor...Comments welcome. Also, all the work on this forum really looks great. Last year there were 7 pages of threads started for this contest, but only one page of finishes..let's make it a good one...
