If you go to Backgrounds- Shapes and go to the last page, there should be two circles, pick the one with the dark centre. You can resize this and position it in the parts of your character you want to shade. There are two parts to shading, shadow and highlighting. With shadows you want to have a look at where shadows fall on the human body, usually going for the inner leg, under arm and under the chin are good places to start. Highlighting goes were ever you want it, there’s not really a definitive rules set for either though. With shading the alpha tool on the object colour and the resize tool on the object transform are your best friends, play around with these to get the best effects.
If you want some ideas about where to shade, look at other peoples work. They may look complicated at first, but most of the time it’s just putting in the time and effort, thats what I find.
Hope this is helpful.

And another one: Mammon

The Demon Lord of Greed, Mammon is the demon lord with the most power over mortals. Selfish, deceitful and cruel, he desires material wealth above all else. He rules over the third level of hell, where the souls of the greedy are forced to lie face down, kissing the earth for all eternity whilst it slowly swallows them up, Mammons cruel jest at how easily mortals can be consumed by earthly goods.

Thanks MDM

Next Demon Lord: Beelzebub

A gross demon, the ruler of the second level of hell, Beelzebub is the demon lord of Gluttony, a sin which he puts into practice every waking hour. He feasts on the finest foods that have ever existed, whilst the souls in his domain are chained up and forced to watch his gorging, having been cursed so that all food turns to ash in their mouths, they starve for all eternity. So vast is his hunger, no other demons live in his domain, his only companions apart from those tortured souls are huge swarms of flies, which he controls and sends to feast on the souls, earning him the title ‘The Lord Of The Flies’.

Love the lightning effect on the whip, and the posing.

Another one for you. I haven’t been able to figure out the shading for it, but I have the text file if you wish to have a go yourself.

Laht Kaled Savrod, once a great scientist, thinker and a friend to Mek Var Lem back on their home planet. However, Savrod was outcast from his home for his more extreme views on using other species as hosts and improving them with cybernetics, instead of engineering their own bodies. He was discovered experimenting with kidnapped aliens and sentenced to lose his body and be set adrift in space. However, his prison crashed on a developing world and he possessed one of the locals, building himself the perfect body and conquering his new home. However, his attentions have turned back to revenge and his sights have set on his old friend, the star-witness in his trial, Mek Var Lem.

Ok people, we are now at the half way point in this contest, you have one more week, so don’t stop those entries. There are still no entries for White, Black, Blue, Silver and Purple, so those would be the colours to go for if you want to make the final cut.
Looking forward to some more fantastic entries.

Kett Nova

A killer-for-hire and a mercenary, Kett Nova was hired by an unknown benefactor to hunt down Mek Var Lem. He is one of the most feared killers in the galaxy and he is wanted in many different systems. He only takes kill commissions and his preferred method is disintegration, but before he kills his quarry, he will take a trophy as proof of his success. He needs his special mask in order to breath, due to an injury he sustained during a previous hunt. He seems to have a personal grudge against his current quarry.

Thanks Atomic. I see what you mean about his hand it does look a bit weird. I’ll see if I can sort it out at some point.

Now. Kicking off the Seven Great Demon Lords, the first: Asmodeus.

The demon lord of lust and ruler of the 1st level of hell, Asmodeus is sadistic. She lusts after all things carnal and keeps an extensive collection of devises with which to sexually torture those under her rule. She is exceptional at manipulation humans, men in particular. Once these unfortunate souls fall under her spell they are her slaves for eternity.

[JR19759]

Woo!!!!!
Thanks Livewyre, I’m glad you liked them both. You can use either of them for what ever you want.

[JR19759]

And before I move on, my now customary group shot at the end of a redesign sequence.

Any comments are very much welcome. What do you find works, what doesn’t work, favourite pose, favourite costume, abuse, anything you want to say concerning this last group of characters.

In the mean time, I shall get cracking on the designs for the Holy Knights mortal enemies, The Seven Great Demon Lords.

[JR19759]

Rounding off the Holy Knights: Uriel

The scholar of the Holy Knights, Uriel is a master tactician. He prides himself on his intelligence and his ability to predict his adversaries’ next move. However, his pride is often his downfall, as he can underestimate his opponent, even if he is fighting one of the other Knights or a Demon Lord. Despite his proud nature, Uriel is also known for his kindness, he sees selfishness and greed as the most intolerable of characteristics.
