dark golem

I have concluded the project by adding emissive components, primarily indicating the lava zones and the glowing metallic areas. Additionally, I placed magical runes on the rock plates around the head, and at the center of the mask, I positioned the rune symbolizing the amalgamation of all the other runes.

I proceeded with the project by painting details and incorporating crystals into the rocky areas using masks.

I proceeded with the texturing phase, focusing on the creation of the primary materials. I applied various shades of color, including some accents to clearly distinguish the lava zones. Additionally, I worked on the thickness to highlight the features of the rock materials and outline the curves of the mask. For the mask itself, I embraced a disquieting design, reminiscent of scars or organic folds, while still maintaining the appearance of a bronze disc inspired by the Mouth of Truth.

My project proposes a dark reinterpretation of the classic fantasy golem, while preserving the essence of the creature made of rock and natural materials. I utilize rock, volcanic rock, and bronze for the mask, symbolizing solidity, power, and ancestral wisdom. The combination of these elements gives life to a dark golem that embodies the duality between strength and sophistication, elemental nature. The creation aims to bring ancient mythology into a contemporary context.
