Ok guys. I need help from YOU to help me win this thing. I want that Diablo 3 T-shirt. Anything short of first is going to be a disappointment.
Here's what I need you to do for me:
* Tell me what you like and don't like about this piece.
* Give me a comparison of how you think I currently stand in the competition.
* Tell me what another piece has that mine lacks. What you think I should add.
I have plenty of time and I wan't to get the best out of it.
Thanks!

Besides lore and function? The pic is great. The recap has me feeling that your idea is comparatively amazing and innovative (not that it isn't by itself). Despite the feral appearance, the stance of the creature has me thinking it is a mage or summoner style enemy. That could help you to describe its function (the more complete a submission, the more impressive it can be). The headpiece screams Mephisto so I guess it could be his disciple or something. An example of lore could be something like this:
The disciple of hate is a being corrupted in flesh by his already corrupt soul. Those who learned of Mephisto's true identity (not as a benevolent god in the Triune) became obsessed with the dark arts. The disciples believed in compounding the hatred of humanity to form a malevolent entity capable of serving under Mephisto. Sacrificial rituals were perfrormed in secrecy using the most hateful human beings. From the deranged and murderous to the erudite but spiteful, the disciples melded others into themselves until flesh and bone became one. The combined result holds the great powers and discipline of a mage as well as the physical brutality of a psychopath. When not surrounded by his minions, the disciple of hate goes into a frenzy, assaulting all those around him.
Now you just need a more fearsome depiction for him in rage mode as well.
Just kidding. Sorry for not being much help!

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
Ah thanks for the response! You gave a lot of insight into how people view it before knowing the background. I'm glad I was able to get the message across with the art! I already posted the story on the actual thread. I just decided not to post it here. You can go check it out on the submission thread.

Just did and I love it. Much better than what I hastily threw together! Good luck with it!

I definitely plan on fixing that hand lol. I didn't even realize how bad it was until I uploaded it.
In terms of color I'm facing the same conundrum you mentioned. I think it might ruin it. Also, I was going to experiment with it, but in photoshop I accidentally merged it with the background so I'll have to take it off of that first I think to get a good overlay with color. We shall see. Keep the ideas coming!

Ah yes, how could I forget! I didn't think about it when drawing but this definitely helped inspire it. I'm really into the whole creepy look of only seeing the mouth of the face without eyes.
And thanks btw. I'm going to retouch the anatomy a bit.

The only thing I WOULD add is a background to it, and if you do, make is as disturbing as possible. Like have something along the lines of insanity. Make your lore really good too because with that pic, you have a legit chance of winning it. Just write a kick ass story and add mechanics.

Thanks! Ya I definitely thought about putting in a disturbing background. I'll see what I can do. At the time I was just focused on the char, but now I have time to play with it a bit.
Siay, I'll try and find one for you.

A tip ...
You drew all fingers correctly on each hand ...
However, when drawing the fingers bent, bend them all. Gets better.
A living example, is so you even look at your hand and watch them closing.
But those are just details... =P
I'm actually in the process of redoing so of the hands.

besides the anatomy things you said you're already working on... I would like to see the plate/neck thingy in the head a little less circular... more like the hellboy monster 2mind posted or something like that.. and a bit bigger...
and the skirt it has needs more fabric look... it seems kind of hard and not fluid enough :/
Thanks for the input! Taking all critique into consideration to make it better.

The thing is we don't know on what criteria the concepts are going to be judged.
One thing you could add is color, but that could ruin the whole thing.
Otherwise, it's a great piece of work.
