The Sorceress

- Diablo Fan Art -

Ever since I saw the Blizzcon Art panel I was completely enamoured by the concepts and the quality of art coming from the Blizzard team. I've been a huge fan of Blizzard games for far longer than I can remember, so I thought it'd be the perfect time to pay homage to the company that got me into gaming by creating a character based off the concepts shown at the Diablo art panel.

My general approach to this character was to aim for a Hellblade or God of War vibe whilst keeping close enough to the chosen concepts. I really wanted to push myself, try realism, try hair cards and try pushing my textures.

Concept by Cedric Peyravernay:

I absolutely love the gritty feeling that Cedric's work brings to the dark world of Diablo and based the face heavily off of one of his designs.

Took me a lot time to find this but the design of the armour was based off of Igor Sid's amazing work found here:

I really hope I captured that gritty Diablo spirit and I was happy that I was able to include some nerdy easter eggs in the design.

I learnt so much doing this project, and I can't wait to apply what I've learnt into my next one.
