War summon

Description

This fella [link] commissioned me to draw the 4 creatures that his character in a tabletop rpg game would summon as part of his powers. The creatures he summoned were each of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and he gave me some guidelines on how he wanted them to look. For War, he asked for: Huge dude, big-freakin sword, and helmet. The rest was largely up to me.

I decided to make his arms freakishly big and much longer than human proportion (I sketched him out at regular human measurements and it just wasn't imposing enough). As opposed to him wearing regular armor, I drew it to look cut into his flesh (this was really sold during the coloring stage). I gave him a helmet with no features because, let's face it, that's cool. The grenade necklace was kind of an afterthought, partly because I wanted something to contrast with the sword, bringing together both ancient and modern concepts of war.

Please excuse this lengthy description of my creative process :B
