Forest Guardian

A creature created for the 'Search for a Star' competition. I used this project as an opportunity to learn more about texturing in a handpainted style using Substance Painter. I initially started with a concept of a character bust by Ayhan Aydogan and then created the rest of the body design through photo bashing different creatures and nature together. The process for the creation of this character is shown in the PDF sketchbook.
