3 - The War Horn Has Sounded, The Gods Shall Answer!

Dominance War V has officially launched!  This being the last of the Dom War series the theme this year is The Rise of the Gods.  See below for the full brief and rules:


Theme
"Immortality! We strive for it, we long for it, we fight for it. For as long as we can remember, we have even died for it. But what is immortality?We have always believed that our goals, our beliefs and our ideals, when forced on others through Victory of War - had ever, lasting, meaning. Because in being remembered, we ourselves became gods. But we were wrong... After centuries of war - they finally came. To guide us? To punish us? To destroy us!? We do not know. But what we do know is that the results of this immortal war, will shape the universe forever more.

Come, join us, for a final chapter in the legendary series, Dominance War V... The Rise of GODS."

Brief
Create a powerful GOD that shall defeat all other gods and determine the future of the universe forever more!! Your God must symbolize one exceptional trait - God of War, God of Machines, God of Peace, Demonic God of Chaos, God of Torment, God of Love, God of Mercy, God of Swords, etc. The design and style of your GOD can be made in any fashion, except cartoons. Here are examples of what NOT to do - [links removed...two images of sunday paper style cartoons], etc. Additionally, NO real/known gods (Allah, Brahman, Elohim, Jesus Christ, Waheguru, etc) or current fantasy gods (from Dungeons & Dragons, etc) can be used for this challenge. You must invent a God from scratch and from your imagination. Show us why your GOD is THEE GOD of ALL!! The time period for this challenge is set in the utterly destroyed and distant future.

World standings await the best designed GOD! Be it for fun, for practice or to show the world your skills, Good luck to all those brave enough to enter!


Guidelines
12500 triangles
1x 2048² Texture set

 All textures must be original and hand painted
 Renders must be in some sort of 3d Engine (i.e Unity, DXStudio, Marmoset Toolbag, etc..)


Where you come in
Please visit my blog regularly as I will be updating near daily with progress.  I will post polls, ideas, sketches, and all work in progress (WIP) images of the model as it is created.  I will do my best to explain each step of the 3d process to both illustrate to the 3d community and prospective employers that I know what I'm talking about, and to you my non-3d friends and family so that you can follow along and help me to critique each phase of the build process.

Edit: Please vote in the poll on the right hand side for your favorite god/goddess idea! Thank you!


I deeply value and appreciate your feedback and your support during this intense competition.


Cheers~
