Power...

Playing with pose and perspective in this thumbnail. I have to say that I like the pose, but the perspective is a little off. I'm thinking I may have to shift the "floor" a bit further up into the picture to get more of the effect I'm looking for. The race that this creature hails from is known for its arrogance, so I tried giving him a stuck up, disinterested attitude - you know, kind of like when some snot is purposefully ignoring everything you say just to tick you off.

There are a couple of elements here that make this picture different from the other Neth drawings I've been putting up. The differences are turning out to be both fun to work with and challenging, and here's what they are:

First, this guy has actual flames around his hand, rather than an orb of light in his grasp. Second, I'm trying to incorporate something more solid than smoke/mist into his surroundings, which is also different from the other Neth thumbnails I've been doing. Both of these differences are for particular reasons, though I don't think I can really say anything else about them just yet. This character could possibly show up in a project some time in the future, however near or far that may be, and I don't want to spoil things. Sorry!
