Dominace War V-3D-Mulciber God of Fire-L3XICON

[L3XICON]

Hey hey everyone! another dominance war starts and another chance to start and fail to finish \o/ feels like its almost the last dominance war when I last showed my face here on threedy, though I have been lurking and always drawing great insperation from the works you guys post here.

its a fantastic brief on this years contest and looking forward to seeing the mighty gods everyone creates! I thought about re-entering my dominance war 3 entry (think he pretty much fitted this breif better than the DWIII one :P) but that'll be cheating and boring

My first ideas so far, a mighty god of fire, ancient and evil, a destroyer and consumer.

here's a very early sketch trying to form an idea of shape and form, and will start thinking about details to nail the character later. of course, your crits comments and suggestions as ever are more than welcome!

Damn...L3XICON is in the house.

[miclepickle]

nice... that looks badass

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I like the \o/ you used in your first post. It reminds me of my God of love.

[L3XICON]

thanks chaps

havnt had any real time over weekend to play, but another quick sketch to see what feels right. I want to have a real roman feel to this guy, I want the fire and flames to be more prominent however, so need to think how to inmtroduce that in.

L3X! L3X!
Great to see you're on dude!
Love the concepts

[washka]

Great concept so far L3xicon, maybe some fire could come from the hammer (embers on it)? Or the cape could be made of fire?

[L3XICON]

hey DD and thanks

Washka like the cloak of flames idea! think I'll run with that

[Warlock 279]

Concepts look cool, and sounds like you're heading an interesting direction. Romans wore those sandals, that laced up their lower leg, what if you gave that a flame shape, so it looked like flames wrapping up his legs? And you can always work flames into the details on the armor etc. I look forward to seeing more.

cool looking sketches. i relay like the first one. hte second one looks like a ordinary ork.
good luck in this one

[Darchand]

I envy your 2d skills. I like the first one for the colors however the second one is harder to tell. When I think of a fire god or demon or anything like that I automatically think of the balrog from the lord of the rings. There might be areas of that you can incorporate in. So far though looks amazing.

Hey bro, your concept are always kick ass! Your designs have bad-ass written all over it! Yo know, adding some spikes would be nice...there's always room for spiky thingies!!

[Novian]

L3x: I'd suggest looking into either a general and subtle flame shape to the ploom from his helm, and/or working in a gentle color fade to suggest the coloring of fire.

Cheers~

its really good to see you join!
I really liked the first idea, where he has no leg, just an effect. I like fire
Looking forward to another outstanding work!

[L3XICON]

hey gents

thanks for all the comments and suggestions! some real good ones there

Still only finding 10 mminutes here or there to keep on sketching, but will try and find some time tonight to play.

Warlock 279 - like the ideas of flames defining design styles. I was also thinking about the roman sandals as an aspect of this, although I think I am going to do away with the legs so might have to look at adding this elsewhere (maybe arms?)

Darchand - yup balrog, and the demon fellas from Darksiders are a heavy influence on this one

redonix76 - spikey things are always worth throwing in will see were they can add to the flow and design

Novian - def will look at using flames or real flame-like feel to the ploom!

Cordero - with you on this one, think the legs will be gone soon

heres another very quick sketch a few colours to see were I can use the heat, lava and stuff to define shapes
