Swamp Splash

Splash art created for a final class project. I wanted to create a monster character in a swamp setting. The concept had the potential of leaning into a grungy, horror archetype. However, I really wanted to create a character of cold elegance, focusing more on the intimidation aspect. Despite being a monster character, I tried to emphasize her elegance in the design. Her hair is slicked back in a clean fashion. Her scales double as armor. Her fins act as a ruff or neck frill. The energy of the character is also demonstrated through her stance and low camera angle.
