Art Challenge # 3

Thanks to everyone who have contributed over the last few weeks! Guess what time it is? Time for a new art challenge!

~Art Challenge #3~
Produce a Character Concept, in any form, from the description below. This is for a side project being concocted - the game is a side scrolling shooter, like Blackthorne made by Blizzard back in the day.

The Demolitionist:

Stature/Look/Build:

• Big (built, strong)
• Alpha male type character (think Marcus Fenix from Gears of War/Marine from Star Craft II, Wolverine)
• Bald, Beard
• Carries a Shotgun
• Tall 6 ft +
  

Dress/Demeanour:

• Worn singlet
• Worn black leather jacket, open (think Mad Max)
• Tough look/serious composure
• Anti-hero, every man for himself attitude

Options:

• Scar on the face
• Tattoo on the face
  

Background:

• He’s been enslaved unjustly and he wants revenge, big time. He’s “found” himself a shotgun and a leather jacket and wants to get out of the prison that he’s been put into (a la Death Race 2000).

That's it - do with this as you will. This 'challenge' isn't a competition! It's a personal challenge, an opportunity for practice and to have a laugh. Your post can be as simple or finished as you like.

The Little Merman

*My late submission for Art Challenge #1 - Take a classic story or novel and add a twist. I'm jumping on the reversed-sex role bandwagon. Took me a while to post it... and it's not in colour! D:*

Story
The story starts exactly like The Little Mermaid; a young merman with a beautiful voice has a fascination for human artifacts. One fateful night he saves a human, Prince Eric, from a sunk ship; from then on he dreams of being with the humans. His father (the king) finds the human artifacts and shows his disgust by destroying everything his son loves. This sketch is after that moment when the little merman holds the broken face of the Prince's statue.

If the little merman peruses the Prince, will he find love? Will the sea witch use the little merman's stolen voice to command all of the Prince's attention? How would the prince treat the little merman, if he is the exact same Prince from the original Little Mermaid? He may be in for a lot of hurt, would it be worth jeopardizing his life in the sea?

*PS: Feel free to colour this, if you want to try

i call him scribblor, now in 3d!

started off just mucking around doing proper edgeloops on odd shapes, then thought i would put him through the mudbox, the coloured version is the low poly mesh with normals spat out of mud box.
