Live Brief: Character Concept art test
Research
Initial research, referencing Fromsoftware due to their multitude of boss designs and concepts.
Initial exploration of Demon Boss, exploring idea of using web covered antlers as a weapon. Right now I'm quite fixated on the idea of antlers being already separate and on top of the character's head; I'd like to explore this cobweb idea further, maybe replacing the cobwebs with tendons or gory fleshy strings to give further connotations of something demonic. Another Idea I had to justify the cobwebs for the design is having a spider-like creature that's burrowed into the character and using it as a host, referencing possession and taking control of the body, another reference to something paranormal or demonic.
Next steps are to pump out thumbnails, and try not to box myself in with the antler idea.
