My take on a possible Darkin.

Because a kid downvoted the first thread and afterwards the second thread and again the third thread and again the fourth thread without no reason (Haters gonna hate) and the threads literally disappeared, I'm posting this a fifth time again. And the ones who downvoted it, here a message: Do it as much as you want, I'll post it again and again.

Good day, I'm a desperate League of Legends player, artistical hobbyist and Custom Champion Designer. While I'm loving to create a new Champion out of nothing, I do also love to draw him, even though it's just with a pencil.

However, one of my first Custom Champions is a Darkin who has two forms, the human form and the Darkin form. But since two weeks I've started to experiment with Zbrush, a program that has been also proven worthy by a new Rioter (Who also was on a presentation and showed Singed and Heimerdinger, how detailed and lovely they look).

Because I wanted to try it out, I experimented with it. I watched some couple tutorials and got my fingers on it. I started immediately to make the Head of the Darkin. His appearance is a bit similiar to Aatrox, but he's a bit bigger, a bit wider and has horns that comes out of his mouth. Half of his head is covered by a small helmet that actually looks like organic. Because he has extremely big wings that almost covers his body and aren't made for flying, but rather smashing the enemies with it - his horns had to be made looking forward and not backwards or in the air.

Here's my take on a possible Darkin. Mortalis, the Twisted Darkin.

Beware, I'm not professional and this was my first try on everything, I didn't even try to make something different to experiment with.

I'm currently working on the whole body, but damn.. it's hard to make wings...

Seriously man, please stop reposting this. People will either like it or they won't. It's extremely rude to continuously repost this. Personally I like the way it looks, but at this point I'm more annoyed at the way you are handling this then I am impressed by the concept.

It's not bad, but have you made the full body sketch via paper or image instead of slowing detailing from head to foot cause it looks like it'll take a while.

Seems interesting. I like the forward pointing horns, but the tusks might make it hard for him to talk. I imagine his speech being really garbled. I imagine him sounding like someone getting used to talking while wearing a retainer. What if the tusks were protruding from his cheek bones rather than from his mouth?

The helmet has a lot of visual real estate that's currently unused and it currently looks like a bowl cut (probably my least favorite of hair cuts as I had one when I was a kid in the 90s). When I think Aatrox, visually speaking, I think smooth surfaces juxtaposed with jagged protrusions. You said you wanted the helm to be organic, so I'd like to see how you'd like to make that more distinct.

Take it easy.

Lol another kid appeared and didn't only even dislike the thread, but also all comments no matter of their topic.. I'm asking myself how stupid can someone be to actually think his lifetime is worth doing that?
