[2011] Rift Colossus

A DeviantArt challenge to create a colossus for the game Rift. It was a fun challenge to create a creature rather than the usual human characters I like to design. There’s also a noticable switch of background half way through the development. This was because I had familiarised myself with the game’s worlds long after I started the work, which resulted in the original plans becoming a mismatch for the specification. I don’t think it was completely necessary and I liked the original tropical look but I always prefer my work to fit with the imagery of a project if it’s already been set.
