Creature Concept Design
This is my full creative process and progress for a creature design portfolio. I was required to design a creature or mount in the art style of Blizzards World of Warcraft. I was required to create your creature designs with ‘real world’ reference in mind, to give my designs a sense of legitimacy.
Cretheta the great ancient forest protector. Resides in Ashenvale Forest, this mystical beast is a rare sight and will come to aid the forest and forest dwellers when in need of protection.
Creature concept 1: The back story and environment. In this i tried to understand the character i was going to make. For my first concept piece I wanted a ancient rare forest beast.

Creature concept 1: The character referencing page. Her i looked at 3 different animals in order to creature a new creature. I looked at there overall physicalattributes and character habits.

Design drafts. During this time i was trying to find characteristics that worked for what i wanted to create. I during this i decided to create an ancient forest beast that guards and protects the forest.
Design iterations: I paid more attention to the style i wanted to achieve for my final piece. I knew it would be in the styles of Blizzard, so i needed a good silhouette and bold sharp shapes.
Final Design: For the final piece and added the characteristics i liked the most and gave the character more of a punk style. I also wanted his colours to be very cool with some warm accents.
