Description
Very old line art of a villain that I colored up this morning.He goes by the name, Black Hemlock, and he's from a parallel earth where it was chlorophyll based life forms that followed evolutionary steps similar to our animals. So basically, he's a humanoid plant. His world was devestated and conquered by a super villain from our world, so now he's here looking for payback. He's able to sprout thorns from his body which he can attack with, he is also able to exert some sort of control over local plants and use them as weapons.

Awesome! I have a plant villain myself. Those thorns look great.

love the concept behind the character and the design is fabulous. though i think a few vines perhaps coming off him would have put it right on top of the list.. still its fantastic.

Uncomfortable? You mean cause of the spikes there?
I don't really play him much, but I like his design hence the artwork

Well, he can retract the 'thorns' when he wants as seen -> [link]
But yeah, when he's got them out...not too popular.

also... that screencap looks a little more polished graphically than the others i've seen of your characters. hmmm

Well, depending on when you last saw a screenshot it could be cause of a couple things - upgraded my vid card and the game has also had graphical upgrades too.

Nice! I like the design of the guy especially--he's got this "inverted camo" dealie going on that marks him down as a bad guy (what with all the black), but the design feels like more than that at the same time. I also like the detail in the background and how the more painterly BG contrasts with the tightr endeirng of the figure.

Heh, never really thought of it as an inverted camo look. My original intent was that he basically had two layers to his 'costume', the black ragged top layer that's been cut and torn up from his own spikes as well as from battle...and the more "pristine" geen under layer (which is made out of a stretchy material that allows the spikes to pierce through it without damaging the material).
I almost went with my typical night time background, but I figured I would actually try a real background this time, hehe.
Thanks!

I kinda like the "torn constume idea"--in a sense, given the random nature of his outfit tearing the look could evolve any number of ways, I bet.
The extra work paid off--it really adds a nice little "punch" to it.

That's the thing I love about the game, so many things can be interpreted or reasoned out in different ways...helps makes characters feel more special when people share the same costume pool.

I always wondered how intricate the designer thing was on there (I've never played COH-don't have the setup for it) because I always wondered how much you could do with a finite number of options . . .

Actually the character/costume creator is really sweet. It's one of the things that the fans/players really love because of how much stuff there is to it and how much you can end up customizing your character.

That's pretty cool, man. I had no idea it was so intricate . . .on the other hand this DOES explain the oodles of COH art out there.
