Meet Oog, the Cyclops.
He's from the same world/game concept as the Lost One [link] . He is a member of one of the main evil agencies in that game, the main shared visual trait of which is, of course, the hypertrophy of one eye and the atrophy of the other eye. He serves as the first real boss of the game.
I actually did most of the work on this about two months ago, and only recently did I go back in and finish it off by adding the textures, which were fun as hell to paint. In the initial concept, he didn't actually have a face; his upper body was just a fleshy, amorphous blob with a large eye sticking out of it. However, since he needed to be able to talk, I redesigned the face to include a deformed mouth. I also thought it would be a cool idea to have a second, atrophied eye. This would add interest and also make Oog unique from most of the other cyclopes out there. The spikes, bumps, and various other textures were all improvised.
This is one of my first real forays into horror and truly grotesque designs. Tell me what you think!

Impressive, very nice concept from the original cyclops :)

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. :la:

Wow, that's a really unique approach to depicting a cyclops. Definitely one of the more interesting ones I've seen, with the placement of the eye, etc.

This is a signature. What it is for, I have no idea.

I am a fan, but perhaps not for the reasons you are looking to hit. I love that he looks deformed and ugly, but my favorite part is the way the skin is handled as an element. The fact that the skin is very heavy and not too fleshy makes it reminiscent of an elephants skin, but also brings to mind animal scar tissue that's been worn over the years.

While I still say "beast" when I see this this I think of something that's been living in the wilderness for a long time with it's deformities, but not necessarily vicious. If you're looking to hit that, you might what to mess with the overall proportions or posture.

Great work!
