When Larian Studios dropped their first cinematic trailer of their next game Baldur's Gate 3, I lost my shit. I was so inspired by the visuals I started sculpting squidward here in Zbrush then continued to work in Blender. Pretty much with no real direction I started putting him together but quickly realized that I didn't like the design that much. Instead of completely scrapping the piece I continued to work on his skin and slapped on some basic materials on the rest of his body as filler-art. I used Substance Painter to create the materials.
Spent a good amount of time redesigning his armor piece to look a little more appropriate for one such as the Mind Flayer (whatever that even means). I figured these guys are like octopi-wizard-parasites so I made it's armor look like a battle wizard of sorts with Cthulu inspired designs engraved onto the shoulders. I know - pretty cool.
Now this piece isn't quite done yet but I am happy with where it's at for now. Stay tuned for some updates!
