Eternal Champion – WIP

by Alex Ledante May 31, 2019, 1:49 am 193 Views 16 Votes 21 Comments

Celebrated fantasy author Michael Moorcock read Jung and Campbell, then decided to run with it. He envisioned a meta hero, the eternal champion; cursed to serve the cosmic balance in all of his incarnations. Pretty much all of his works were about one version of the eternal champion or another

#1 blonde

I will do a brunette version, too. But it is starting to come together...

#2 rough

this one looks really goofy, but I am just trying to nail a few things down before I introduce the peak

#3 pose fix

I say it is fixed, but I suspect I'll be tweaking the pose a bit the whole time I am working on this...

I saw the ‘More Fun with Barbarians’. I was speechless at first but managed to say that I want the one with hair. Personally, I like men with long hair especially if the color is lighter like this one here. Or probably a little darker.

  hair is very expensive to render, so I save it for last. only rarely do I do an image where the man is meant to be bald in the final…

This is an interesting study – I like the mountain in the last two, the background in the second and the internal champion in Blonde.

A fantastic progression from a simple and plain looking man to a great looking hunk of a warrior. All I can say is if I was younger I do not think I would mine being close up and personal with this one. A welcome change for us women here on Virily…
