Warforged Paladin with Tauric Belt

[DMAC]

Playing with the Warforged Paladin I drew a while back. There's a magic item in the game that lets Warforged transform their lower bodies into a hybrid leonine form:

This was just supposed to be a "quick sketch" but I started shading and couldn't stop. Here's a quick hack job messing around with moving the sword arm and shrinking the torso:

I really like the torso and head, but the tauric body seems kinda out-of-proportion. I think it will look great with the sword-arm change you made finished.

The front legs are to high on the body is what it is. Really good otherwise.

DMAC-

Great stuff! By any chance, were you a fan of the Michael Golden "Micronauts" comic book in the early 80s? This reminds me a lot of Baron Karza with the horse body.

 

[DMAC]

I've never read an issue of micronauts in my life. I looked him up through Google though and he does have that robo-centaur thing going.

Slowly making progress on this piece. Once I get the design nailed-down I'll do a final pencil render and color it up...

 

[DMAC]

This was just going to be a sketch with the new arm positions and other changes made but I started coloring and couldn't stop...

An interesting experiment anyway.

Now THAT is kiss arse artwork!

 

[Ferret]

Yay, very cool! got the hip right!
