I was hired to develop an illustration and also the concept for the character Alastor for the TTRPG Legacy game by Gynga publishing.
The brief was to create a humanoid creature that looked frightening and sadistic.
I made some thumbnails to explore the concept, and the ones you see are the chosen option.
I worked in Clip Studio and Photoshop, and did a light and shadow study with Zbrush and Blender.
