I did this artwork specifically for the Damnation Rising RP, and figured I'd post it in here to see what you all think. Feel free to give feedback and/or suggestions.
Aww shucks, ya got me. Balrog was definitely half my inspiration, along with the DIII trailer. Thanks for the input.
This drawing went through I think 5 different end results before I got to where I am now. I had trouble getting the head how I wanted it, and in the process made 3 completely different style heads. There used to be a lot less fire, and then there was a lot more fire, different wings, one with a whole lot more smoke in the air, and finally I kind of just gave up. I'm ashamed at how many hours I spent on this damn thing in one day. But overall I'm pretty proud of the end result.
You pointing out that I need more detail in the head makes me want to start working on the thing again. Well maybe tomorrow. I just realized what I need to do on the face to make it better.^_^ Thanks again.:cheers:
Updated artwork.
Items changed or fixed:
1. Demon head #4. Tell me what you think. To me it is a drastic improvement over the last iteration. Much more detail oriented.
2. I did my best to improve the fire so that it looks a little more realistic.
3. Fixed smoke coming through the left wing, so it is more noticeable as a wing.
4. Added red glow beneath the left wing to make it more noticeable.
5. Right hand had minor adjustments with the glow and the smoke.
I'll leave the old one up as well just so you all can get an idea of the changes.
You didn't lie when you said you knew how to make the face better.
This one is just awesome. Hard to draw faults from it.
He got a nice balrog/predator twist.
Predator on the mouth and jaw I mean.
The guy looks mean and likely to kick your ass big time.
Definite improvement!
Thanks a lot! I feel a whole lot better about this one.
I realized that I had so much Balrog and so little Diablo. What you said made me think "What would Blizzard do to make this demon more Diabloesque?" And then it clicked.
Yeah I've seen it in your avatar, but in your profile it's significantly larger with loads more detail that I never would have seen until you said something. Did you draw that yourself?
I think I can discern its wings...
And the smoke rising creates a really good effect.
Bonus point for igniting the end of its tail.
More detail on the mouth and the lower jar would have been cool but it could also easily ruin the whole effect.
End note- a really nice drawing.
Kudos.

Now to increase the resolution.
Updated original post with final pic; higher resolution (which you can't tell), a couple smoke modifications, and signed. That's the final product.
