Description
this one was done for a little challenge over at Jon Schindehettes Artorder blogI wanted to finish it in one session but needed a second one cause my painting hand really started to hurt (yes because of painting, not what you may think...)
the funny thing about this one was that the concept is based on original Dungeon & Dragons artnotes which makes this a very useful excercise and a nice portfolio piece
I`ll also post alittle gif animation to show the painting process for those interested
cheers, over and out
EDIT: here`s the link to the animated work in progress:

It's good to see this in more detail. Jon showed it in his column on the Wizards site today and the image was way too small. This is amazing.

Oh WOW! I love your version of this. Definitely somebody I wouldn't want to mess with... My version just looks silly now. haha

I`ve checked both versions of yours and none of them looks silly
version B is more dynamic but I like version A better as you can see more of the creatures features
you still have time to clean and finish the pic a bit more and it will be very fine

Thanks so much for the kind words and the insight! Unfortunately I'd already submitted yesterday. Cleaning up my drawings is definitely one of the weaknesses I need to work on.
haha, I was so proud of what I turned up until I saw yours. You've got such amazing skill; It looks as if your painting was taken straight out of the Monster Manual!
I hope I'll eventually have what it takes to get a start in the art business.

you definitely have what it takes to start; now just keep dedicated and don`t stop working on your skills...sounds like some random bullshit philosophy but that`s the most important thing

yeah it`s a bit off but I tried to act somehow professional which means speed and time had higher prority than anatomical correctness

I think that looks really REALLY awesome =O
Only thing i think that misses something in my opinion is the sword^^ It looks a bit dull? ^.^

guterrez In reply to PariahJack [2010-01-15 18:04:51 +0000 UTC]
the sword is made out of..."shadowstuff" was said in the description...so I guess it`s sharp as a shadow!?
thank you anyway^^

Looks really creepy I especially like the sword and the purple hair!
The first time I saw it, the devil reminded me somehow of the Slaanesh Daemonettes

guterrez In reply to IvyTinwe [2010-01-17 21:13:27 +0000 UTC]
thank you very much, just checked the Slaanesh and I have to say they`re really cool...not only because they somehow resembles this creature^^
