Surtr - SMITE
My first concepted god for SMITE! Learned a bunch, and got to draw a bunch of fire, which is always fun. :D
Had a great time working with gameplay, design, anim, rigging, modeling, and FX to bring him to life.
Dave absolutely killed it on the model:

the full turnaround with mat callouts
3/4 for ref
early silhouettes
love finding a concept on an early pass
Adding fire, cause it's fun!
early iterations. keeping in mind 'not Odin' and the scale of Atlas
Playing with capes on the old design
This was almost it! Personally miss the Hulk Hogan style lava stache
post pivot iterations
really trying to find the right balance between 'evolved fire giant,' and 'not Odin'
some folks loved the elk horns, others loved the bull horns. iterating to solve disputes!
capes 2.0
mockups of what his size and stance in game would look like
aiming glyph for his ult. It's lore themed with Surtr's blade breaking Yggdrasil
