The Dark Council - Oxavon, The Devourer (WIP)

Hello everyone!

Update August 18th

After so many tries, I gave up on the shield, because I could not attach it to the belt (making it a belt buckle). I reused N'Zull's belt and made some modifications to fit Oxavon's body type, added a pair of wings, and it kind of worked out.

Today I will make the cut on the Bracers, it's easier to make the cut now, this way I can make sure that after posing L/R can be mirrored. I also plan for today, to make the Cleaver, wings and, start posing.

Update August 17th

I finished refining blocked-out shapes. Repositioned and scaled armor pieces from N'Zull. I am still blocking out shapes for his armor.

My idea was this, I reused the shoulders so that he could look like part of the same set, even though having a larger body type. The shoulder looked a bit lose, so I had to add something to hold it in place, at first I thought about some straps crossing below his armpits and meeting in the back but that would cover part of his chest. It would look cool but I wanted to show fat in him not cover him with too much armor, so I went for a leather gorget strapped by leather suspensory (or chains, I haven't decided yet).

On the belt I wanted to add a Fancy shield covering part of his belly, the first iteration that I did look kind of cool but, it covered too much of his belly, so I reduced the size. To hold the shield in place I will add a leather belt connecting the front and back parts of the armor. On the sides, I will add a piece of cloth (Rags actually).

His butt and legs will be all hair.

Today I will refine a bit more the armor pieces, add connectors (straps or more metal) for the Bracers and Knee caps. I will also sculpt the horns.

--- End of Updates ---

I wanted to share a bit of the progress on Oxavon, a very early stage but I am going for something like this. I have managed to block most of the body proportions. I will work on his head now before start blocking the Armor pieces to use for him. His horns will be smaller and point to the sides.

He will be a bit taller than N'Zull and have shorter legs.

His weapon will be a sort of Meat Cleaver, I am thinking of adding a piece of meat with a bone, on the other hand, there will also be a claw hand. This model I will make on a more neutral pose (I wanted to make him eat the meat but I don't think it will be possible, but we will see this later on).

Since he is bigger and fat, I will have to find a way to make him hollow and add holes to save material in the printing process.

As usual, I will keep updating this post with my progress. If you have any comments or suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.

Best regards,
