Character Design - Haddad, Mesopotamian God of Thunder and Rain

Simply put, Designing an ancient deity in a fantastical style; while still loosely follows the historic style.

Another personal project of a client on dA. Reimagining deities if put in another fantasy world. Quite interesting concept, and he has done amazing research on this character.

Final Version of Hadad, God of Thunder and Rain. Deity from Mesopotamian are to early Persian. (or so I think)

Starting from sketching bunch of designs, loosely based from equipments of said era. Then the client do the picking and mix-matching parts.

From sketches before, then refined into cleaner lines, with motifs and style. His weapon was made based from the motif used.

Basic color scheme. mix-matching colors to see which one suits the character
