Warlock of Sinew and Bone, The Blood Boiler

hi all very late to this challenge,

I’m going to do a post apocalyptic style warlock, a mutant leader, who utilises blood magik.

He is the Warlock of Sinew and Bone, the Cannibal, the Blood Boiler, the Chef of Bone Hunter of Men and Eater of Beasts, Father of Mutants, The Artist of Skin all titles to befit a god amongst men
The idea is that he’s a giant ogre who’s obsessed with the collection of blood, primarily ‘pure blood’ blood not effected by the world and cleaned for purity this is his power to control the wastelands of his world and his rag tag warband of blood crazed marauders

!
I’m being heavily influenced by Rage 2, Mad Max, and the ogre butchers and corpse grinder cults from Warhammer fantasy and 40K respectively

Here is a really rough sketch but will start building him today.

That’s very unique. Can’t help but staring at that tank on his back - guess that’s for pumping blood. Another cool part is the salvaged armor that really looks like being made of whatever stuff found across the wasteland: bomb quad neck protection, “medieval” shoulder plates and other really add to the story

Hi all another update kinda big got the whole thing sorted now just need to do the fine detail passes and then the fun of re-topo and all the jazz haha

@aforalegria - Yeah the tank on his back is to store blood and refine it to make it ‘pure’, the whole idea in my head was that he takes blood willingly hence the syringe (which I may get rid of) or forcibly by literally pulling it out of someone, thinking of removing the syringe so that he has to be brutal, also thanks for commenting

Couldn’t stop so came up with the blood tree, my warlock likes to ‘plant’ these for his followers, a show of power and to show the followers ‘unpure’ blood of the enemies
