Description 3rd "rough" of Lust, probably pretty close to what his general look will be. Based largely on my rough painted test "Gorgon Hunter" and new wildly-cloned curly hair based on poll results. Now he looks sorta like he has an afro too, lol (that wasn't my intention, I just tried to clone away the artificial-looking 3D curls). Will try to make them a little less dense next time.

He should do whenever we need a male hero (which isn't very often according to you guys, haha).

----------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Lust profile (8/10/12)

The king of Veranos has proven to be an able leader and envoy to the Eastern Lands, but he also showed his lack of self-control when he had an affair and ultimately a child with a lesser female devil lord in disguise. The half-demon prince was to be the devil lord's attempt to take control of the kingdom, but her disguise was unveiled and she fled back to the underworld, leaving the child solely in the hands of the king. Many of the city's people feared that the child, known as "Lust" for the disturbing tale of his conception, would grow up to be an evil ruler or perhaps even a hellish monster. Fortunately, the king was a doting father and Lust's caretakers and teachers took extra care to ensure that the young man stayed on the right path.

His first true battle experience came at age nineteen when a great naga was discovered living in the abandoned ruins under the kingdom. The wicked golden-haired she-serpent devoured several villagers over the course of a few days, prompting the king to seek a warrior who could defeat the monster. Without the king's knowledge, Lust ventured into the ruins and with the help of demonic powers inherited from his mother, he successfully killed the naga and earned his people's respect.

Four years later, Lust would face an even more dangerous naga while on a journey for the king; the snake-haired gorgon queen known as Minra that turned anyone who passed by her hilltop lair to stone, then smash them to pieces with her great mace. The end seemed near when he became trapped in her coiling, serpentine body, but to both his and Minra's great surprise, her deadly gaze had no effect. Lust quickly took advantage of his foe's bewilderment, freeing his sword and slicing the gorgon's tail from around his neck. As Minra arched back in pain, Lust struck once more, driving his blade deep into her exposed underbelly and slaying the notorious gorgon at last.

Now nicknamed "The Serpent Slayer" for his two victories over the snake women and known around town as a very eligible bachelor, Lust underwent a surprisingly rapid transformation from a brave young warrior into a ridiculous royal playboy. Although still a good man at heart, women and fame became his priorities, and he relished in telling exaggerated versions of his gorgon-slaying adventures to anyone who would listen. The women of Veranos could easily see that their prince was a philandering ham, but Lust seemed completely oblivious and almost entertained by their rejections and mockery.

Recently, a messenger from Ronail arrived, requesting Lust's assistance in dealing with a gorgon, as word of his immunity against their stone gaze had spread to other cities. Anxious to meet new ladies in an exciting city, including the fighting maiden Smacky whom he had heard stories of from travelers, Lust sets off on foot towards Ronail, passing through the naga-infested Kinjin Peaks. Who knows what incredible and far-fetched tales of battle and romance with the she-snakes he will have for Smacky and friends once he arrives? While Smacky doesn't know what she is in for, Eri very much looks forward to Lust's arrival and the delightfully wicked fun she will have at his and her sister's expense.

Lust is 30 years old and appears as a handsome and muscular man with flowing red-brown hair and a single small horn protruding above his right ear. He has yet to discover all of his demonic abilities, but he can summon small amounts of fire (which he enjoys doing to show off for the ladies, and which he used to enchant his weapon in his first battle with a naga) and sense when flaemes or other demon creatures are near. Still the goofy ladies' man, he often speaks as if he were reading from a tawdry romance novel, believing it makes his adoring female admirers swoon (it doesn't).


------------------------------------------------------

Please ignore the fact that he doesn't have a horn in either of the "Serpent Slayer" pics, I made those before I made him and figured rather than having two similar barbarian heroes running around, I'd just consolidate them into one guy.

Thanks very much for taking a look!

Your renders are already as good as this!Β  Β  Remember to use Photoshop or other paint programs if you can, they make all the difference in making a raw render look more colorful and cool!

Photoshop cannot be bought outright now, the only way to get the latest version is to subscribe (you automatically get any updates when you subscribe as well). But yes, there should still be a 30-day trial so you can see if it's for you.Β Β

There's an updated one called "Hello Ladies!" if you feel like taking a look. Thank you very much!

Yes, I've seen that one too... But I still prefer this presentation, mostly because of the curly hair, it somehow fits that outfit soooo well...

Ah, I like how that curly hair came out too but I didn't really want two main characters with fuzzy curly hair. Thank you very much!

There can NEVER be too many characters with curly hair!

Thanks a lot! I couldn't find anything I really liked for his other arm, but I guess it looks OK without anything too. Glad the crazy job I did with his hair turned out alright after all.

I'm a big fan of the one shoulder pad or arm plates, so that definitely works for me

SnowSultan In reply to DesignsByEve [2011-01-21 22:38:38 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah I kinda like asymmetry too. Maybe he can have a shield later (I tried one, it kept poking through his muscle, lol).

DesignsByEve In reply to SnowSultan [2011-01-21 23:16:46 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm I think a shield would work with that look for sure. All a matter of finding the right one. Poison's Omni shield comes in really handy, with all the morphs in it, so maybe that would help work around his bulging muscles

SnowSultan In reply to DesignsByEve [2011-01-21 23:32:47 +0000 UTC]

Hm, I think I have his sword and skull, but not the shield. The odd texturing on his other items kinda put me off. Guess I'll try using a V4 shield (of which I have about 80, lol) and turning down the muscles in that one arm next time. Thanks for the suggestion!
