Original Post:


I'm excited to finally participate in a Polycount contest. I've drawn a huge amount of inspiration from all the talented artists who post their work here.

It took more time than I would have liked to research the Dota 2 heroes, do some preliminary sketching, and make a decision (there are so many!) but I finally settled on a full set for Clinkz. His back-story in particular has a lot of thematic potential.

Concept
Rather than shield him from harm this armor struggles to contain the demonic forces which threaten to consume Clinkz, even as horns and spars violently burst forth, blisters born of the hellfire within. This is not armor he wears for vanity or rank. It is painful; a reflection of his tortured existence.

Description
- Purple/Obsidian armor plates with dark steel trim
- Steel and cloth bits glow orange/gold hot in areas close to his burning inner fire
- Demon horns/spikes burst through the armor, affixing it to his skeleton
- Archer’s helm, neck wrapping, and gauntlets nod to battle practicality

Here's what I've got so far:

Any and all critiques would be greatly appreciated!
