Hells Bells! - Bodybuilder demon enemy design
This was a fun brief I did with my collab group at uni. Hells Bells was an assignment that took gameplay influences from Gang Beasts + Fat Princess and artistic influence mainly from the Borderlands series. I was responsible for designing this demon enemy, general art direction for the team and a little level design (which was very rough).
Final colours chosen to fit within the enemy faction colours the team had decided on.
My personal favourite colour scheme for the demon.

Here are a quick few iterations on the barbell weapon idea. Design 2 was chosen because we all thought the other designs started to not be identifiable as barbells and more just like clubs/spiked maces.
These are the initial sketches for the animal/human hybrid and gangster demon ideas I explored. Instead of animal hybrids, we soon decided to use animal masks instead because we wanted the demons to be on the more humanoid side.

Here are the very first sketches I did for this project, turned out pretty generic for demons but this can be expected from initial ideas.
