Mudbug in Muscaria - Concept Art

The final painting of Mudbug! Mudbug lives in a mystical forest called Muscaria, where things are not how they are in the rest of the world. Mudbug sits peacefully in front of his fire, listening to the whispering wisps as the darkness around him chatters

I was trying to find the best colour theme that suited the narrative I wanted to tell. I went with a mix of blues and purples as it's a moody scene.

The garment design for Mudbug. I wasn't sure if I wanted him to be a little more of a farm boy living in the forest or posh if he's living in a city. I went with the farm boy.

Here's another finished image of Mudbug, I made this before the final image was created to see how his clothes and character design worked with the narrative.

Here's the character reference sheet! I'm currently in the process of creating him in ZBrush and the rest of the world in Unreal Engine, using assets I make in Maya and ZBrush.

Silly little emotion sheet.
