Druid

Character design for a druid. I wanted to differentiate from a traditional druid (as in a shapeshifter or a forest-dweller) and wanted to make a kind of shapeshifter who's in tune with a more twisted side of nature. My first design was for a hooded person that transforms into a dark beast in battle, but I was asked to make the character more inhuman, so final design is a kind of mass of shadows with a mask for a face. I was a bit reluctant to make the design what it ultimately was, since the same concept has been done some many times already but I think took my own spin on the concept.
