Horizon Forbidden West - Zenith Character Concept Art

I have worked on the initial shape language and material design for this very unique faction of Horizon Forbidden West. The main design challenge here was to create a rather inhuman, unnatural look that at the same time has a strong connection to the old world, just like the characters themselves are living in the past.
For Erik Visser I have made the final production design as well, using the concept sculpt I created while designing the shape language.
You can see the final game model renders of the character on Patrick van Rooijen's page: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nE1y9r
Tilda's design was perfected and finalized by Choro Choi: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/OmdD2k
