Smite: Summer and Winter Hel

This was another job done for Hi-Rez studios. I was asked to design a skin for Hel, a goddess with a dual stance mechanic in the game. She shifts forms and personalities that are polar opposites.

Going with that theme, I went for a Summer/Winter concept. This went through a lot of iterations and concepts before I finally had a design that worked for both stances. One of the amazing artists that works on-site at Hi-Rez was asked to give me a hand with the winter design, and I built on his concept. The final product is one of my favorite designs.

Of course, after all that the in-game models were both very different from what I had designed. Oh well, such is concept art. :)
