Antagonist

Mood board for antagonist character, mainly focused on Balrog from Lord of the Ring and Hades (Greek god) from different art styles.I thought antagonist (I assume a character with bad intention) need to be powerful and 'badass'.

Balrog - Lord of the Ring

I just had to draw this awesome character from Lord of the Ring, Balrog, which essentially became my main research for the Antagonist character I will be painting later.

Zbrush practice - simple modelling (inspired by Balrog model) to know which position will be good to draw.

Quick sketch and painting of antagonist model - to understand what it would look and what kind of colour would be suitable when I will be doing the final version.

After finishing a Balrog themed painting, I've moved on to do another painting of antagonist with different theme with it. Hades was another choice for the character and started painting concept ideas of Hades model including his weapon.
