A creature design for a personal project.
This is a creaturedesign for a personal project. The creature and the helmet are magically welded together. For centuries now, it has been his task to protect it.
Workflow
I divided the workflow of this piece in 6 images. The first image shows a little drawing I made in a small Moleskine. I took that drawing and photographed it. After that I dipped it in some basic tones in Photoshop (second image). Then I slowly started working some colours into it, either by turning the greys to colour or wash them with transparant layers, trying to hold values (3rd and 4th image). Next I started adding and building textures, trying to convey the material I wanted (5th image). The last step here was adding and finishing up details plus tweak the overall lighting. Also in this stage, when I am not satisfied, I go in there again to tweak some stuff. For instance in this image in the end I added some more color variety to make it seem more alive.
