Kerriliande - Evil Forest Spirit
Hey everyone !
Here's one of my biggest work from when I was in school. The bad guy from my graduation project, made with the rest of my class.
You'll find here a couple of sketches and coloured R&D around the forest spirit we called Spriggan. There's also a render of what he ended up looking like in 3D, thanks to Sketchfab.
I was responsible for everything related to this big guy and I hope you find him as terrifying as he should be !
Big thanks to everyone involved in the project back then.
It's been a blast working on this and I can't wait for the next one !

These were the two heads I ended up presenting after a couple days, both coloured through Photoshop after scanning.
Full view of the Spriggan, after a lot of tweaks !
An older version, less "wood" and more "schroom". He ended up being cast aside but the few holes in his torso were kept for the final design !
An even older version of the character. We considered having the bad guy being some sort of giant forest elf covered in wooden armor. For practical reason aswell as esthetic ones the idea was trashed but the wood encasing was kept !
A couple sketechs around the idea of a body made from twisted roots and branches. We ended up keeping the idea for the body underneath the armor !
The basis for a promotional poster for the game. The hand was kept as it is here and we ended up changing the original "branch crown" with the horns things.
A first line-up of the Spriggan in front of what would be the main character of the game. He was meant to be huge from the beginning !
Here's an idea we had at some point. I drew a spriggan twisted in a trunk, impaled on a sword and figured it would be interesting to have one like this in the game. This idea was also trashed because we lacked the time.
An early render of the Spriggan's mask, long before the crown and horns. It served as a basis for the background of the game's poster !
The final character, fully fleshed out and textured. I was responsible for the modelling and shading aswell as the animation, later on !
