Description
For part of a little art themed competition with the lads at work. We were supposed to paint a beast or a demon that embodied βdarknessβ. Immediately my mind turned to large areas of light that could be masked with a dark character ... like the surface of the sun.
So here is a solar demon called Sunspot. Something about this image really creeps me out. D:
Painted in 2 hours using ArtRage.

Those are some nice textures, good work! Are those eyes or teeth? Or...both??

I quite like the idea of them being eyes. But the abstract potential for them to be both adds to the creep factor. >:3

Reminds me of the Ing from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Great looking picture too.

Yes! I think I had a reference picture for the ing while I was doing this piece. These guys are a bit more humanoid though. ^^

They could be more powerful then their brethren thus having a humanoid form cam be more adaptable on some occasions (or that's me over thinking again).
WellΒ Dark Samus was a humanoid so.... bah, details.
Once again good picture.

He looks like a happy fellow... to regard from a distance. Like, say, the distance of Earth to Sun?
I do like the color schemery here.

Agreed. o_o;
ArtRage has some really nice painterly colour-mixing tools. I should really use it more often. ^^

Yeah, seems pretty good fun with the colours

Actually, sunspots are blindingly bright, though somewhat less than the boiling mass around them, which only becomes apparent when using thick lenses... Now that I got my APOD stuff out, I got to say I share the level of creep with you on this one.

Oh yeah, I mean, it's THE SUN. You're gonna get your eyeballs melted if you look at it. xD
Was meant to be more metaphorical than anything else. When I see dark patches on the sun, it makes me wonder if there's anything ... 'hiding' in them. D:

Oh yeah! The sun is an entity of constant activity and chaotic processes. Hard to grasp, impossible to predict... Though sentient beings walking on its surface would have to be a surprise for everybody.
