Like mentioned in my previous deviation there are half a douzen different Tyraeli tribes. Depending on the terrain they live in, their bodies, appearance, culture and fighting style developed differently.
I hereby present you the common Desert Tribe Warrior. Again, its an Aluerkawo.
I'll post more specific information about the differences between the tribes at a later point.
so, watchuu people think so far? =]

You nailed tribal dead on. So savage looking and just plain awesome. Fave!
Ich liebe seine kleidung ^^
(ist das ein...krosett? wenn ja...SEHR kreativ X3 *luv*)
Und generell...die wüsten-Tyraelis haben mir natürlich sehr angetan.
außerdem...es ist so strange unter diesem imba-vieh dein toony avatar zu sehen XD richtig krotesk!

funny how people notice little details like that =)
thanks alot!
thanks alot!
Oh, a bit of constructive critique though, the index finger on his left paw is a bit wonky, if it was pointing more towards the viewer like the other two claws this would be remedied.
Well someone's been eating their spinach every night. Nicely done,I love the details on his tattered clothes and the design of them too.
interesting comparison. but now that i think of it, its true.
even though i didnt have them in mind when designing the armor ;D

Oh sweet! Love the whiskers. And the armour! It fits in so well it almost looks like part of his body at a quick glance.
thanks alot! I always find it funny how people notice little details like the whiskers ;D
This is soo awesome. Reminds me of the DnD illustrations i have been looking at way too many of recently.
I love his facial... stuff... going on there XD

excellent, all the armour looks well positioned (I can tell what sides the sword and sheild will be on)
and I like the armour round the waist.

This is just freaking amazing, the toned-down earthy colors and all the detail are very convincing. Is it bad I want an action figure of him?
if its bad? hell, I'd give someone else's leg for a Tyraeli-toy!! D=
heh, thanks so much!
heh, thanks so much!
...so am i the only one who noticed the dead "aluerkawo" skin on this guy's head as a leather helm of sorts?
I noticed the "thing" on his head matching his head contours pretty damn well, as well as it seeming to have its own horn stubs.
Is this cannon to scalp collecting or wearing a facial mask made of face tissue?

you know, actually youre the second one to point that out. funny thing is, i never thought of that. When i drew the "cap", for me it was just some cloth (leather maybe, but not of fellows). The horn stups are his own (which cant be seen clearly, i admit)
But i really like the idea of wearing the enemy's scalp as a hat x3
I dont want a whole Tribe to be uber-brutal but i like having sadistic individuals/warriors who would indeed do such a cruel and tasteless thing.

Actually, if I remember correctly, my original reference to the "wearing the facial mask made of facial skin" dealt with a certain ceremony and religious matter dealing with the deceased. I saw it on TV and can't remember which tribe did that.
But scalping is a trophy system.

I try to examine an image like this with questions.
"How were the materials made? How could this armor and regalia be applied? Would it be removed daily? Could it withstand weathering? What level of technology is necessary to produce it? What logic does it serve, that is to say, what purpose does placing it in one given spot over another serve? Can the character enjoy freedom of movement in this state of dress?"
As you might think, there are a lot of fantasy costumes and regalia that have no means to get in and out of them, and sometimes represent an anachronism to the characters wearing them. As well, often they are restrictive, overly decorative, and/or illogical in their culture for them to wear. They may as well be wearing a hologram, or elaborate body-paint with jewels.
This isn't the case here. You have what seems to borrow from pages of Natural History, artifacts of man in the leather straps, laces, animal hides and carapaces, and bits of bone as well as small bits of metal used as fasteners. Nothing is anachronistic to tribal man, who knew how to forge small amounts of metal; to cure and scrape various hides; to prepare carapaces and similar stiff animal carcass remnants for use as armor and protection.
Beyond that, this character's joints are not hindered. Yet his midsection, where one may assume from earthly physiology where many vital organs reside, is wrapped and protected; one limb is armored, the other not, probably to give him easier movement, and a protective side to show the enemy; the opposite shoulder not only armored, but spiked, so a crouch not only is a defensive posture, but with the spring in those powerful legs could pierce an enemy, perhaps in the breast or throat; it seems as if the headdress is amplified with bone quills, both as armor and a means for easily stabbing anyone who may try to flank him.
This is a difficult opponent to face on a battlefield, in mêlée situations. I can only guess attacks at their tail do not cause them too much grief or concern, else this meaty prize for smaller carnivorous predators in the bush might have some better protection… perhaps just naturally his meat and/or blood is generally not to the taste of his planet's wildlife… his only predators his own kind.
Oh, and as for a comment as to liking the image? Yes, very much so. I don't care to share analysis this deep unless I care.
