Description "Leader of the dark mistress's army, sent to wage war and death on those of the Light Lands. Infamous far and wide for his ruthless battle practices, eating habits ( mainly young elfling ponies ) and the blood jewel found around his neck. Rumors proclaim that this jewel and his dragon hilted sword in combination can steal ones soul during the final death blow but no one living can verify this..."


I hope everyone enjoys this fellow...after the sucess of my last submission I am a bit nervious lol.
Worked on him all day yesterday around 8 hours or so total, all in painter 8. The idea for his face came from some horror show mask, one of those "really" real looking ones that they fashion on those "behind the scenes" shows on tv. So I took that idea and expanded on it. I'm not terribly good at thinking up big ugly monsters as I am pretty things.

Painter 8 / Wacom Pad / 8ish hours

Almost forgot!

You may not think you can draw "ugly" things as well as "pretty" things, but he is stunning- a great capture of anger, rage, and the blood lust of ruthless battle. Amazing work!!!

Youd did a great job of thinking up an ugly monster this time. The textures are great, especially the fur on his clothes. I also like the dragon sword and how it glows red.

Pepius [2004-04-15 07:13:00 +0000 UTC]

Really cool, specially the effects in the horns and breast plate. The only thing I don't like much is that individual hairs are marked a bit too much in the clothes. (They look cool in his head though)

Do you remember where did the original mask come from? Because it looks familiar to me...

I love how you did this! Just out of curriosity.. what brush/brushes did you use in painter for the hair and fur? I've always wondered what people used! (I'm assuming you had it set to 1 pixel...)
