Weekly DoE/AotZ Concept Art Session #4

Sorry it's a little late this week everyone!

In this exercise, participants create their rendition of the selected character within one week. There are no restrictions on quality or medium (although obviously anything that violates the rules of the forum will be deleted). Participants are encouraged to create new work for this exercise, rather than posting old work. The image provided is a reference only, don't feel limited by any of the details. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Above all, have fun everyone!

Our theme for this week is:

Vertejaune
Council Member: Deceit

153; The Bane Wars
153 AE (After Exodus)

The Lord of Deceit stood atop a cliff overlooking the battle taking place in the plains below him. He gazed into the ashen sky and raised his arms. The very air seemed to crackle to life as he channeled forth a red storm.

A banenite in bone armor raised a wall of bone around the enemy army in the battlefield. There was no chance for the enemy to escape the massacre that would soon be upon them. The red energy bolts ripped across the field, shredding the very flesh from those it stuck. By the time the attack was over, those that had survived were scattered and powerless to stop anyone.

Vertejaune made his way to the battle and alone walked out to meet the survivors. With the gesture of a hand and some well-placed words, the rest of the enemy army fell to their knees and embraced the glory that was deceit. His eyes glowed menacingly and a smile played across his features. Oftentimes, the greatest weapon is not the sword or any magick, but words alone.

The session begins now and finishes next Monday (U.S. time, it's Tuesday here). No exact time as it is not a contest, rather an exercise. Post your images in this thread, work in progress shots are always encouraged xD

Vertejaune... THAT'S JUST AWESOME :P. I wish I could draw him as a snake man thing but. . . He's charismatic and doesn't really use lies and illusions like Satan/ Kil'Jaeden/ SOMETHING.


I think I could make something funny with him and Vela and or Genobee...

I dunno. Maybe he says THIS because there are four letters and Verte has four legs + 2 arms! lol! FAIILLLLL.


maybe he did attach a link. It's all about interpretation though.

Use your imagination. Don't let what I have given you restrict your creativity here. The operative question is how many legs do you think he has? :)

Give him ten. I want to see that, actually. He should be more insectoid, hive-mind (As in size and complexity, not type) like evilness.

Dusk says he's charismatic, not evil. People are more compelled to do stuff for him than forced to, for example...

Vertejaune might have mentioned to Vela, "So I was going to make this one giant golem called Genobee and it needs a lot of bones and corpses..." and a lot more talking but in a much smoother charismatic way :p and Vela just randomly goes, "I'll do it".

If I remember correctly, In the Void, It is your best bet to be ruled by Vertejaune to stay safe since he wouldn't massacre you like Caliga or eat you like Anick lol. People are definitely compelled by him I suppose like, Oh noes my city are being attacked and the citizens would jump to their feet and go, lolol I will halp you. At least I think this is what I remember. Someone could prove meh wrong >;o.


10 legs is strange anyways :p. 8 is moar evil since it represents a spider which is considered teh evul.
