Description This is my design for the this content and figured to add some lore to give it more life than just an my illustration.

RIFT Create a Colossus Contest:
Death Rift Colossus - Shoel

Shoel Lore:

Sheol "The Undying" or "Immortal" - The destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous flesh, upon death. During the reign of the great Titans, Sheol was the most feared of all the great titans using the flesh of the fallen to mend his wounds, which prolonged his existence. Known for his battle cry "Destroy what you will, but the flesh is mine!"

Death of the Undying - During the Great Titan War, Shoel was unstoppable with his death army. Fearing the world will be lost, the 5 Great titan rulers of Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Life agreed to a monitory truce to unite the armies and end Shoel's destruction. The five great armies pushed Shoel and his army into the valley of Stonefield and using mountains like a cage, the trap was laid. The battle lasted for months until his army crushed and only he remained. Upon Titan's Rest, Shoel fought the Five Titan rules, but finally fall to their combined power. Beaten and his body dismember by the Titans, Shoel vowed to return crying out "You cannot destroy me, I am Shoel "The Undying"… I cannot be denied.. the flesh is mine…" ". Shoel body was set aflame with the combined magics and finally destroyed.

Return of the Undying - Present day Telara, Meridian, major death rifts have become more active and sightings of a disfigured flesh creature strike fear into the priests and mages. Is this a sign of his return?
"Flesh of the world, it feeds me.. when flesh numbers grow, so shall I. War amongst yourselves.. feed me, I will return…. and claim whats mine."

Background is a screen shot of Rift, but as for Shoel, I used combination of Illustrator and Photshop CS5.
