Ice Golem Concept art for Action RPG/Hack and Slash

Hey, guys!

I'd like to present you my new project - a series of Golem creatures.

First one is Ice Golem.
His main and unique ability is that he possess the elemental power of Water with which he can freeze the enemy. I made him frightening while preserving the artistic style: shoulder pads with razor sharp shards; runic weapon (cog); massive ice leg.
While we can’t see all his abilities, we can assume they will be devastating and powerful.

For the final render i used a model in motion to express the character. I also used the model of a human to show the scale. Human attempts to tame the golem look miserable to us.

There were a lot of iterations during the concept phase. On one stage I created 3 different models (see “golem’s options”) that are built based on different geometric forms.

You can also see how the monster’s head been developed. As a references, i based it on heads of a lizard, robot, etc.

I am also sharing with you my references.

Stay tuned for the next Golem ;)
