Tower- Wizard and his minions
Here's my contribution to the Tower VFX and game art final projects, done during my second year at New3dge concept art! My task was to design the Mad wizard and his skeleton minions.
The story is about a mad wizard who's keeping magical gems in different towers, and a group of adventures witches are trying to find said gems. Drawing power from earthly elements, the wizard animates skeletons to protect the towers from our little heros!

The mad wizard and his precious gems!
Early process started with exploring the themes of dimentia and madness, as I was developing his backstory and personality
Final design iterations and color variation

Exploring possible dwellers of the tower, I was trying to explore what can turn into a threat.
Each enemy has 3 stages, from a skull to a golem. I tried to explore different themes/ elements for these evolutions.
We settled on the classic elements: Water, Ice and Gas/vapor for the final version. And due to rigging limitations we had to use the same base for different elemet
designing the enemies involved a lot of iterations on the shapes.
