The Shadowsworn

I did these concepts over the course of an art period and a spare, approx 2 hours total (about ~20 minutes on the smaller ones and ~40 on the Nameless.)
They're not highly polished or shiny because i'm using them as guidelines for what the models -should- look like if i ever get around to making them, and yes they are blurry and indistinct on purpose, they're supposed to be blurry and indistinct.
You have the right to tell me i suck, i have the right to ignore you utterly.

The Nameless One

The soul of an old mortal of great power who has cast aside his name. The Nameless One leads the Shadowsworn towards what he claims to be a better future. Dark and mysterious, his hunger for power and his means of getting it seem hauntingly familiar...


Forgotten Soul

The souls of dead mortals that have long been forgotten, gathered by the Nameless for the farthest reaches of the endless Void. Weak and ephermal, the Forgotten serve as workers, using pure mana to grow the crystalline obelisks required to bind stronger souls into service to the Nameless.


Abandoned Soul

Cast aside by all who they held dear and cast into the black depths of the Void, Abandoned Souls are built around a core of cold hatred that can be honed into a powerful weapon. Desperate to cling to life now that they have regained a semblance of it, Abandoned Souls are not particulary powerful, but are very resiliant.
(Not entirely happy with how this one turned out, i may make some colour changes and design alterations on the model.)


Lost Soul

Souls that had no guide into the afterlife and became lost in the Void are a key source of minions for the Nameless, Lost Souls weep tears of liquid darkness at all that they no longer have even as they strike down the living with blasts of energy and slashes of their razor claws. Lost Souls are physically weak, but are quick and exude an aura that sucks the life and happiness from the world around them.
(I like this one alot, female shadow thingies FTW! Plus i reckon the pose is kickass.)


Tormented Soul

Tortured by demons and worse long after it was their time to pass on, Tormented Souls base their very being around a core of pain and hatred that is so powerful it bursts forth in the form of a dark red flame that surrounds their face and back. Wreathed in smoke and blood fires, Tormented Souls act as the Nameless's heavy infantry, punching through mortal lines with terrifying ease.
(Definitely my favorite, this whole dude just works. I based the pose on a WC2 Demon by Samwise, and i really like how this guy came out.)

Yes they are blurry. But when you're shrouded and darkness and torn between two realities, i guess that happens. Very good, very cool.

pathetic names ^^

i like the dwarf with the red beard most :)

The names aren't the best, though the model sketches are pretty good. I get the idea of what you're trying to get across here.

Feel free to come up with better names that don't sound like undead or ghosts. I'm always open to suggestions.
