Description
Zamir, Eagle Totem Path Barbarian
The Descriptions:
Zarmir is a tiefling of Zariel’s bloodline. Zariel is the arch-devil of war, ruling over the perpetual war that ravages Avernus, the First Circle of Hell. Tieflings of Zariel’s bloodline are strong, and war-like, a perfect expression of Zarmir’s soul. Zarmir has dusky, purplish skin, horns that curve back around his ears, and he wears a dented breastplate taken from a Cormyr soldier he killed. He wields a battle axe and a trident, and carries a crude shield. After undertaking the Path of the Eagle his eyes have begun to turn yellow, foreshadowing his future manifestation of the eagle barbarian.
My Process Thoughts:
Barbarian = Leather + Steel + Fur.
Now insert the tiefling himself which is buffed and fierce looking warrior. That's how it went to create this character artwork.
I was given freedom to design the body armor (which was looted from a former foe) in medieval style. Now add fur and leather so it might look barbaric. The weapons had references which I tried to modify a little bit. Now the feather he acquired from a golden eagle which he encountered - decors his mask. The mask I made up weren't really part of the description. I'm glad my client accepted the final art with all his heart.
