Description
Lorem Ipsum, a popular dungeon boss of a fictional MMORPG story of mine; he's a very jolly fellow as opposed to how he looks. Known for the difficulty in fighting him, he has never been defeated more than 5 times, and he's a little paranoid about "adventurers plotting to steal my hat". One day he found out he didn't had to stay in his home dungeon, and gained sentience enough to explore the MMORPG world...Oh, and he's the protagonist!
Name's taken from the common placeholder text, which is actually a set of garbled Latin. The closest meaning in English is "pain itself" (dolorem = pain, grief, misery, suffering; ipsum = itself), hence the whole difficulty and undead thing.

He looks like some kind of draconian Necromancer.

Not a bad concept for an OC dungeon Boss. I'd check his right foot for design balance. The story start is straight too, though check for grammatical errors on the last line. Again, not bad.

There's two more in the same story as him, heheh. Ah, the grammatical error is fixed, thanks for pointing it out! By the way, right foot for design balance as in?

I found it interesting that he realized there was a world for him outside being a Dungeon Boss. Lorem Ipsums got a crew? You are welcome on the error fix.
The right foot design is off by a bit. The outer most claw area is thinner/longer than it probably should be according to stance perspective. The lower calf looks broken a bit compared to the left foot. You could write it off as a war wound from those few defeats...

Yeap, two more Dungeon Bosses join him. They later ventured outside their home MMORPG and went into another game... and that's where the bigger trouble begins, heheh.
Ah yes, the claw perspective is out for this pic lol. The lower calf looks broken because it's reverse-articulated leg design, like those of beasts. The joints are covered by the socks especially for his left foot whose lower joints are obscured. I should have drawn it clearer~
Coincidentally I found a reference for legs I can work with for the next Lorem Ipsum artwork (with colours this time), namely this piece by `Wen-M :

That's closer to the legs I had in mind.

Bigger trouble?
I see. I thought it might be like that. Special customized boots might be better than socks. I'd put a design on the front area of the boots similar to the one near the gloves.
I didn't see the piece by Wen-M being used.

Of course not yet referenced, I just found it during the last reply.
Special boots it will be then, thanks for the suggestions! And bigger trouble because it involves more than just a single high fantasy MMORPG (the one Lorem originate from).

Oh okay.
You are welcome. What other World has Lorem crossed over into? Sounds like dudes about to incite or lead a mid-boss campaign.

Any other run-of-the-mill types of MMORPGs you can think of. It's a fun journey!

Heheh, thanks! It'll also work as a normal game boss too

If That's... I Meant, 'He' is the Protagonist, And What Will be the Antagonists! <:U *GASP*
Anyway, He has Awesome Hat!

The whole story is a twist, so antagonists are also a twist! Shhhh secret~
Haha thanks, I love designing that hat for Lorem.

he has an interesting character design but what i love most about this picture is your art style itself combined with his design

An interesting creature, though from my viewpoint, this is not a character that I would like to draw often (so many things! AAAAAH). Kudos!

Haha, he's surely decked with details, it's gonna be an interesting challenge should he ever make it into a comics or games~
Thanks!

Ha, I like him!
Interesting story and name. And being the protagonist is quite the twist
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heheh, thanks!
Sometimes these crazy ideas just come out of nowhere lol. There's two other protagonists in this same story (also MMORPG bosses) that I've yet to post.

:V His left arm's twisted.
I don't think I can blame him for wearing a hat indoors. Dungeons can be pretty cold.

Why do you think forearms consist of two bones each?
He wears it for fashion purposes, actually. He has taste!
