Character Design Challenge 1 - Moodboard

The first character design challenge is to design a Hellspawn from Todd McFarlane's "Spawn".
In Spawn, the Hellspawn's are the soldiers of Hell's army in its war against Heaven. Fallen warriors who sell their souls to the devil in return for their chance at vengeance.
Spawn centres arond one such Hellspawn, Al Simmons who sells his soul to the devil Malebolgia in hope of seeing his family again. Simmons is sent back to earth a monster who has no hope of rekindling the relationships he once had. 



A number of my peers have expressed interest in taking part in the weekly challenge so to add an extra dimension to the challenges each week another person taking part will give input on each week's brief. This will make sure there is always an unexpected, extra element to take into account.
This week Chris Dickson has given me the challenge of creating a Hellspawn from ancient Sparta.
In the design of spawn there are certain visual cues I want to carry over to my character. The black symbiotic suit with the white markings red cape as well as the green glow. One other element I would like to incorporate is the Spawn logo, shown on the axe "Agony" (lower central image), it is also a familiar sight from the "Spawn" comic series.
