oh well.. it seems i need alot of practice with that pencil so i started modelling a bit instead.

My idea is turning towards some deformed and perhaps even decomposed humanoid characteristic (spelling?) perhaps with a bit of lizard dna.. you never know what boils in the pits of hell user added image

just a quick render to see where im going. It has a bit of alien look to it right now and thats not what i want. it will eventually be more human.

i have started working on the torso.. im not sure how to this and i only have a vague idea of what it is im trying to do, but heres a quick teaser...

chest area still needs lots of sculpting and i might build another face or tweak it so it fits the general idea, but i'll keep it for now.

C&C, ideas etc very welcome user added image
