Geode Golem

We had around 10 minutes to figure this out on the spot, so its far from perfect but it ultimatly did its job of representing the concept of what would become the character.

After selecting one of the Elements of origin, I recolected samples of that element for analysis.

And that analysis was of course the analysis of the shapes.

Once we figure out the shapes we have to design the creature that would be born of such element.

For the rough idea of what it would look like I made 5 silhouettes.

After choosing the fifth silhouette, I made some changes to it in order to see if it would become more or less appealing.

In order to add the appropiate amount of detail we need another moodboard.

After deciding on the Crystal look I decided to base the rest of the design on geodes and cristal formations.

As per the delivery of the first part of the project, this is how the creature turned out with some more details sprinkled around, and on a greyscale pattern.

So, being new to this I decided to go with what looked like a little bit of everything. Just a general selection of enviroments.

After analysing the images and extracting the color palettes from them, I recolored my grey creature.

1. The Canyon

I went with the canyon because I think that if my creature was in a videogame, it would be some lower tier rock golem that just lurks in a very cliché location, like a rocky canyon.

Illumination

And now all that is left is to add a light source and throw in some shadows. Since my creature has been designed in a frontal pose, the light must also come from the front, even if it is slightly tilted so I can put a proper shadow.
