Droid Druid (the falconer)

This character is based on concepts created for Lutra Interactive and one of our clients. These early character concepts ended up not being used in the final project and were scrapped. However, I liked the idea so much that I decided to keep working on the character that became known as the Droid Druid. I found it very interesting mixing something artifical like a robot with furs, fabrics, nature preserving ideals and animal companions.

Initially, there were supposed to be more animals involved, since I wanted to go more towards a "beast master" approach where the druid could call upon the wild to assist him. In the end, the design became a bit too cluttered with all these animals involved, especially with a busy background. Instead I opted towards a wandering nomad approach with a peregrine falcon as a companion.

Here you can see how the idea of a playable robot hero came to fruition.

Work in progress. Used to be more animals involved, but opted for one to avoid visual clutter.
