Ok, so here are Sauron and Diablo for ya. Hope you like what I did with them-took a while to decide how I should make them look.

So, this leaves Vertigo, Blizzard, Chaos and Necrosan, yeah? Maybe, maybe...XD

As I just noted on the Talon/Armadon pic, the color schemes for these two are exquisite. Sauron's flowing stripes in particular are a marked improvement upon the original, and I truly dig that dark patch around Diablo's eye.

However, for once I'm not so keen on your spiky style when it comes to Sauron. His robust build certainly distinguishes the God of Hunger from your Diablo revamp, but their similar spine-placement introduces a bit of resemblance itself. Still a great redesign.

As for Diablo, I'd say you're on the right track lending him a "draconic allosaur" vibe. Gregole has a point regarding the shape of the skull (truth be told, this one reminds me of Albertosaurus), although that gracile build works quite well. Finally, the spines fit right in here.

Thank you! Yeah, the spikes on Sauron-I couldn't decide if I should or not, to be honest. In the end, I thought he might be to "plain" with out them. I should have done backplates instead.

Diablo has a new picture all to himself now, and I think he looks a bit better than this one.

GREGOLE [2008-08-30 06:44:32 +0000 UTC]

Overall, I like the Sauron. Huge, muscular, bestial, classic color scheme. I kinda think the head looks a little too..... sapient, I suppose, though. Sauron's essentially a stomach given muscle and teeth, and every night I lay awake wondering why he's listed under the good guys on the toyline. Personally, I think he should have a huge head, massive teeth and soulless eyes. Not GMK-soulless, but more animal.

But once again, that's just me.

If I may, if you want to make Diablo look more allosaurid, the focus should be less on making him lightweight and more on the shape of the head and arms. Allosaurs were slightly less muscular than T-rexes, but the main aesthetic difference was the head. when you draw a rex snout from the side, it's a box with eye-ridges. When you draw an allosaurus, it should be more oval shaped, with eye ridges and short horns right ahead.
More or less. That's how I've always done it anyway. Course, I haven't drawn an allosaur in forever, so what do I know? XP

Thank you! I suppose Sauron could look a bit more feral, but I didn't want him to look like a complete simpleton. He isn't really stupid-just so driven by hunger he seems stupid, I think.

I did do Diablo again, and he's hopefully more Allosaur like than this one.

Not bad. Dig the Sauron design. The Diablo is a tad too dragon like for my own visions of 'em, but the art is great.

Thank you! I was going for "Allosaur" with Diablo, but I do see how he looks a bit dragonish. It's a bit of a habit for me, I guess.

RenDragonClaw [2008-08-30 02:07:35 +0000 UTC]

Look'n pretty sauve there. Sauron is his usual tyrannosaur self, as he should be. The chin spikes and the elbow and ankle spurs are an interesting addition. The pattern is more established and looks more natural than the original one. The orangish tone is a little darker than I'd do but it still offsets the purple so its fine. His over all build is very strong and gives the impression that yes- he could bite you in half or tail swipe you from across the screen or stomp you flater than a pancake. The only thing I'm not so sure of is the head and back spines. I'd give him ridge like plates personally, it resembles Armadon's and Diablo's features so it kinda takes away from his individuality. A solid take on him all around though.

Diablo looks enough like himself and different enough from Sauron to be a success. The back spines and the horns along with the spines on the tail give him that demonic visage while mantaining his saurian nature. His hide pattern is a mixed bag. On one hand it kinda looks like blood, which would be freak'n cool. On the other its a tad messy and lacks that sharpness the original had. If the ends were a bit sharper and the limb patterns more connected and elaborate, it would probably be unique and exciting to look at. His neck is more serpentine, I don't know really how I feel about that but I suppose it makes him look more evil and arrogant. Last thoughts on Diablo would be those arms...I'd at least add another claw, just to put more distance between him and Sauron. Perhaps elongate them a bit more so that he can use them as weapons. Overall a nice job on our favorite fire breathing, demonic therapod.

As for the rest left to go. Perhaps you could do Blizzard and Chaos together, then Vertigo and Slashfang (a profile shot of your version would be welcome) and finally Necrosan all by himself. Looking forword to the rest !

Thank you very much!

I wasn't sure if I should give Sauron spikes, to be honest-I almost left them off altogether, but I gave in at the last second. The plates might have been a better choice, now that I think of it.

Diablo had to have spikes, though. I knew I was giving them to him when I started. The pattern I agree with you with-I was using a Sharpie, though, so the ends wouldn't get sharp enough without bleeding. I think I'll fix that with a pen later, as it bothered me a bit, too.

The three fingers, though-CurlyHairedKaiju did that on his redesign-I didn't want it to be too similar, so I left it at two. The neck is based of an Allosaur pic I saw once, that had it curved like that. Allosaur was the "vibe" I was trying to give him-not sure it worked, though.

Blizzard and Chaos....I dunno. I really don't do apes of any type well, though I'll probably try anyway. I may do the others the way you said, though.

RenDragonClaw In reply to Scatha-the-Worm [2008-08-30 04:47:55 +0000 UTC]

No problem, and really they are just suggestions so take from it what you will. As for apes, Kong was an ape and I'd be insistant with him but Blizzard and Chaos aren't really apes when you get down to it. Blizzard is a yeti so he's like the missing link, mostly humaniod but with longer arms, bigger chest and a full coat of fur. He'd probably have a mane around a mostly humaniod face but more primal with heavy eye brows, wide nostrails and a thick jaw. Kinda like an Orc but with no canines peeking over the lips. Blue skin, white fur and orange highlights where they appear and thats Blizzard in a nut shell.

Chaos on the other hand can go either way. He's random, wanton destruction and decay incarnate so he really could be anything as long as its disgusting and brutish.He could be a gorilla or he could be more humaniod like Blizzard save for a more hunched posture.I kinda thought it might be fun to make him a baboon of sorts with those bright facial markings and a tail along with a bright red arse, that would rather shocking now wouldn't it? Either way good luck with them.

I still dunno how well I'd do either of them, but I thank you for the suggestions! They just might help them not to suck so badly. XD

I'd probably go more "ape" on Blizzard, though, as the only thing I suck more at that apes is humanoids. >_>

The baboon thing is actually something I've thought about. They are fairly nasty, mean critters from what I hear, so that would fit Chaos pretty well.

TyrantisTerror [2008-08-30 02:07:27 +0000 UTC]

YES! The rexes from Primal Rage! Kay, so Diablo was meant to be an allosaur, but they ended up using a recolored Sauron model out of laziness in the game anyway, and Sauron was clearly a rex... but I digress.

Sauron looks perfectly suited for his role as the muscle bound God of Hunger, with all the strength and power of his t.rex base while still showing your wonderful style. He looks like he could kick King Kong's ass! And Diablo fits his demonic "God of Evil" role perfectly! He's got the perfect mix of spikeyness, muscle, and just wicked body language to make him look like a great villain. EXCELLENT work!

Thank you! I was trying to get the Allosaur look to Diablo, though others think dragon when they look at it, so I may try again.

Glad everyone likes Sauron, though-I love how he turned out, really.
