Ancient Guardian

Designs for a powerful relic, the undead guardian who protects it, and the location it can be found.

Showing the same character in different poses without being asked will help speed up future production. Adding options for different heads can be used for minions, different enemies, or as a way for the art director to choose to go in a different direction quickly. Provide an answer while leaving room for options.

• When doing these sorts of designs, it’s important to remember that you are only the first link in a long chain. You have to balance your role of making an asset beautiful with the role of it being an asset others will need to use. This is why a designer must understand how things work in 3d space, regardless of whether you are or aren’t using 3d programs to create your art.
