forest god

forest god, personal work, character concept practice
-
the monks of the old forest temple had lost their god, in desperation they cobbled one together with withering wood from their temple and the cadavers of their former lords' familiars
-
inspired by some concepts from black myth wukong, as well as various things from the shang dynasty
big focus on getting a nice finish, rather than the design process

focused on getting more comfortable with rough photobashing, all images used are pictures ive taken myself, from museums and such

very straightforward process, mostly went with the first thing that came to mind and looked good, i wanted to get to the finishing stage quickly to exercise my finalizing skills
