Eldritch concept art

Lords of the Fallen - Hexworks / CI Games - 2023 Character designs for some of the encounters in the Umbral Realm. For the last 3 years, I was the lucky Art Director of the Action-RPG "Lords of the Fallen", with the great team of Hexworks. I can't thank them enough for their trust, dedication and passion. My job was more or less adding skulls, blood, candles, clay, thorns, rust and even more blood during the entire production. Yes, that's all. And having a pepperoni pizza slice from time…

creature concept art I made using a 3d coat (for initial idea generation, painting and render) and Zbrush (for detalization, posing). I think the initial idea speaks for itself. Сreature is a former king, transformed into abomination and strangled by his own crown, living his eternal and pitiful life. The first thing that came to my mind when I thought about this concept was King Allant from the Demon Souls series, so he was one of the references.
