Lava Creatrue

This time, our task was to create a rocky, lava creature!

Mood Board:

While researching, I found that most rocky, lava tend to be big, tank-like creatures. This got me thinking if I should go down the same route or try something different.

Initial designs:

As always, first initial designs are just random drawings to get a feel of the theme and style I want to go with. Also, it lets me see what possible ideas could work.

While I was sketching, I was playing Final Fantasy 14 when I summoned this little creature.

I stared at it for while, then realised that I could use a similar design for the lava creature.

This was the initial sketch that came from that idea. I loved it so I used it for the final design.

Final Design:
The final idea with this creature is that it runs on lava (lava creature duh!) which also has the ability to float. The smaller stones around the arms are floating and spinning in a slow motion.

Conclusion:

End result, half-and-half. Liked where the idea was going but didn't really get there :P More practise I guess.
