Another concept for a character in Destiny, created using ZBrush and Photoshop + Lightroom. I added a close-up shot for you guys here: http://i.imgur.com/WNzzGkG.jpg I wanted to create a character that had obvious Hive aesthetics, but had a seemingly human like face,achieved potentially by some form of Hive sorcery. Try to imagine that this character has a high sense of vanity, being almost clerical in his duties and proud of his hateful campaigns. "[b]NAEN GENATH THE DARK CONDUIT[/b] The return of Oryx marks the beginning of a galactic decline. Darkness has manifested itself in every corner, willing Oryx to purge light and cast the blackest shadow across the world. Naen Genath commands an ancient artifact, the brain of an Alpha Dark imbued and enchanted with Hive scripture. The brain commands Oryx’s troops, and grants them new powers which can be changed by Naen depending on the combat situation. Naen has become one with the artifact, a conduit and conductor for it’s diabolical power. Through him, Oryx controls the once untameable beasts that lurk in the cracks between the dark. [b]NAEN GENATH ENCOUNTER[/b] Guardians face off against Naen as well as his cohort of enchanted wizard comrades. When weakened, Naen will detach himself from the artifact, making it vulnerable whilst healing Naen. Once the artifact is weakened enough, it can be stripped from his fingers and destroyed. The artifact grants Naen a poisoned shield, which can be damaged by all weapon types but is able to recharge quickly. Some say the enchantment holds close translation to scriptures linked to the power within Thorn; pierce the poisonous veil and inject your own venom to destroy it from within."
