Reference material and inspiration - combining inspiration from grubs, crabs, camel spiders, crab spiders, arthropleura for the creature design, and referencing Mongolian horse archers, armor, and dress as well as tolkien elves for the character design.

Antagonizing the Centipede

An elven princess archer draws a centipede monster through the forest with barbed poison arrows.
This piece was a fun experiment in creature and character design, which began as a Zbrush sculpt of the creature, rendered in Keyshot, with most of it painted over in 2D in photoshop.
