Character: Mummy Warlord

[HordePrime]

Here's my most recent character concept...I decided to do something a little different...I've never done any Egyptian-type designs, so this was fun to say the least.

This piece is ink over pencils, with colors done in Painter 8 and Photoshop 7.

I would like to say it is coooool! the character is absolutely nice. however the weapon is not fit for the guy I think. he must have got a magic power not a warrior with sword. keep going! look forward to seeing your wonderful works.:chug:

oooooh nice and shiny
rickxu maybe there is a long and scary story about this warrior just got skinny after being in the cofin for 3000 years :D

yeah, he seems to be "hip less" if you know what i mean. Other then that, I really love it =) Good Work.

Rock on! you should enter it into the Thunderdome competition if this isnt already what you were doing.

I say keep the sword...he looks badass enough to have magic AND beat some ass close up :D

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Let me address some of the issues you've brought up...

Rickxu: I envisioned this guy to be a melee warrior with black magic capabilities...that's why he has a sword though he would seem to be more mage-like...

Red_Rook: I see what you mean about him being "hipless." I did this character as an action figure design for a slightly younger audience, so I opted for the long, lanky, cartoony body type.

ChaosEidolon: Thunderdome competition? I wasn't planning on it (I forgot all about it!), but I just might do that...

Again, thanks for the positive feedback!!!

The concept is really cool and you're a good artist...

but there are some minor things that bother me with this

First: should clean up all your sketch lines and dots and stuff in the background. At first all looks very professional but that impression fails as you see the "dirt" that you didn't bother to clean up.

Second: His feet doesn't look as if they are on the same plane, the right foot seems to be a bit futher down than the left (in the prespective that is)

Third: You've got a pretty rough line defining the sword, that doesn't make it look very sharp. The sword should have a bit finer linework than the body

But otherwise, this is really good :)

Yeah, I somehow seemed to overlook that (that's what late-night concept art marathons do to ya!) I went ahead and did more cleaning up with the image...I also toned-down those highlight glows...
