Playing video games is probably one of my favorite things to do besides draw, especially when it comes to those epic boss battles! Even though sometimes they are easy to defeat, I still admire the design of these characters. Thinking about these monsters got me to thinking up an idea for the art forums
For the next 365 days, every day I am going to post one new boss design, and see what you guys think. This may seem a little ambitious, but there is nothing like a good challenge to keep your artwork developing and creativity flowing!
Anyone else who would like to post their own bosses are more than welcome too! Also, if anyone is interested in using one of my boss designs for an animation or game, that is fine, just let me know and remember to give me some credit!
Apologies ahead of time if the quality is bad, you can thank scanners for raping quality..
So without further adieu, here is the first boss character design!
1. Brutus and Niko
Born from the depths of Hell, Brutus is a fierce giant who attacks with a mighty force. Although sluggish, his power makes up for most of his clumsiness. Since Brutus is a half-brained lunatic, Niko, a nymph who was banished from Earth and sent to Hell, does most of the thinking in this symbiotic duo. Bent on regaining access to the Earth, Niko uses Brutus to do most of his bidding for him. Although no where near as powerful as Brutus, Niko himself is still a formidable foe. Niko is a tough target to hit, because his small size, wit, and incredible agility thanks to his long limbs. Niko also does all of the talking, which is usually filled with sarcastic remarks, egging on whoever dares challenge them.
Hint: Best way to take these two hell raisers out is to get rid of Niko first. Once the brains are out of the operation, it makes outsmarting a semi-retarded giant as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
