Voyagers - Ancient Construct
The Ancient Construct was a blast to work on, we had plans to do many more variations of these guys, but due to time constraints and scope we only shipped with one. Constructs are powerful beings made long ago who protect fragments of Elder Spirits within them. Constructs will test you through trials of might, skill and wit to both prepare us for the trials ahead and to prove that we are worth of carrying the burden of protecting the spirits of Nera. Nera is a very elemental, primordial world and I wanted the constructs to embody that while still feeling constructed. You won't see any mechanical parts, only stone, nature and magic that powers them. We have plans for many more in the future, but I spearheaded the overall creative/thematic direction of them, concepted them and made the 3D asset with the help of my awesome team! Big shoutout to my brother Andrew for all the hard work in helping me realize this character in the game.
Quick key sketch trying to capture the vibe of the constructs and their arenas.
We had a quick turnaround on a lot of our assets for Voyagers so for many of our characters and assets I would do some quick sketches and then sculpt/texture them.
Here's the sculpt and a posed version of the final asset in-game.
