Melchiah - Soul Reaver redesigned

Melchiah Lair - final (for now) design in my personal "Soul Reaver - redesigned" series. It's the first boss in the original game - Melchiah. I consciously deviated from the original design and wanted to trully redesign him with his story in mind. I decided that the whole illustration of the lair would sell the idea better. I'm posting some of the process shots and props designed for the final illustration. This one took me a looong time (had to learn blender and texturing in 2weeks)! I hope you'll enjoy it! : )
