Boss Fight - Me, Myself, and Them

Done with this one. :)
Very interesting idea and exercise.

Boss Fight - Mirror Knight

The Mirror Knight is the last boss, and is also above all three of the previous bosses, both in power, and in authority. The knight is clad head to toe in a suit of armor polished to a mirror sheen, and its mask is also of the same material. When one approaches the knight, one can become confused, as the closer they get to the knight, the more and more the knight begins to look like them. The knight fights with no visible weapon, relying only on its ability to reflect everything back at the attacker. The Mirror Knight is the most dangerous of all three foes, since it knows what the attacker's intentions are from the start, and due to its uncanny ability to mirror and reflect everything presented to it.

Okay, so, the reason the armor is unfinished is because I couldn't think of a good design for it, so I'm gonna have to improvise something for the final painting.

Boss Fight - Judgment

Judgment is the last of the three lesser bosses. It is depicted as a gaunt humanoid figure with pale skin and a mask made of solid gold. The mask's eyes are closed, for Judgment believes it doesn't need to see to make a call. The creature itself does not have ears, for it believes it needs to hear no counsel to judge. Judgment is garbed in fine purple velvet, and wears the powdered wig of Judges of old. It stands on stilts, as it believes itself to be above everything and everyone else. He swings his Sword of Judgment with implied impunity. Its wings are made of wax. Judgment foolishly believes itself to be above both Pride and Anger. In reality, Judgment is the weakest of the three.

Boss Fight - Pride

Pride is a monstrous amalgam of several creatures that are traditionally associated with pride, such as a bull, a lion, and man, with a horrendous face that shines like gold. It is unknown if this is its true face or simply a mask. Pride believes only in itself, and lives only for itself. It believes that it needs nothing from anything or anyone in order to survive. Pride is one of the hardest obstacles one faces, as Pride can ingrain itself to one's own psyche for so long, that the person it attaches to starts to believe that they, themselves, are Pride.

Boss Fight - Anger

Anger is depicted as a very tall, very powerful gorilla. Anger is made of darkness and shadow, with only its eyes glowing red, like two hot embers. His hands are powerful and they are used only for destruction. You cannot stop Anger, you cannot reason with it. Anger will destroy anything that gets in its way.

Boss fight - revamped

So I felt like the other concept wasn't really working, so I decided to switch gears.
This is a bit more of a personal project than the other, so stay tuned for more info as it develops!

Boss Fight - Romulus

This here jolly fella is Romulus, the final boss to Cassius' adventure. Romulus sought to bring Cassius to justice after the murder of his father, but ended up killing Cassius' son, Cirillo, in the confusion. Scared, he fled the scene, but he knows that Cassius is coming for him. He spends the remainder of his days training to bring down one of the most fabled and skilled Gladiators. He will avenge his father's death, or pay for his sin with his head.

I'm not so sure about this dude's outfit. Still trying to figure out what I want to do with him. The far right look the best, but it also feels a bit grand for him. Maybe I can combine two of them.

Boss Fight - Cassius

Here is another concept sketch of one of the main characters for the Boss Fight challenge. I decided on naming him Cassius, because it's a Greek name and that's about it.
He is sort of a legend amongst the local populace and Gladiators for having survived for so long. His arena name is The Black Stinger, and he wears a scorpion on his armor.
Despite being a slave, Cassius has fathered one son, Cirillo, whom he loves dearly.
Next, I will work on the other character. :)

Boss fight concept

Here is the first concept of one of the characters for the boss fight.
I don't know his name yet, but he is the older one. I imagine him as a gladiator/slave who has made it through countless battles, so now he's kinda regarded as a hero amongst the community. I went with the scorpion motif for his armor, because when I was researching Roman armors, I saw a similar one, and I thought it looked awesome.

Boss fight - initial concept

There's this contest going over at Polykarbon where we have to design a final boss of a hypothetical game. So I thought, what if the guy you're fighting, who you thought was the final boss, is on his own quest, and YOU'RE the final boss of his adventure?
There's more story to go with it, but I'll wait til I have it more fleshed out before I post it. :)
