Faceless Shaman Concept Art
A personal project, I decided to try something new in my favorite genre. I drew it for the location. It took a little more than a day. I drew the location itself on the stream, but I'll talk about it later.
Some information.
This is a faceless shaman, the boss of the level. The basic idea is that when he puts on a mask, the spirit of that mask takes possession of him and his behavior changes with attacks. According to legend, he lost his identity and face in an attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible, summoned a spirit to imprison him in a new mask, but the ritual failed and when he put on the mask, it disfigured his face. From that moment on, it's hidden under the fabric.
In the faceless state (without a mask), he simply casts spells and strikes with a staff, the behavior itself is calm, and the surrounding masks hover near him. When the mask changes to brown, a sound attack with bells on his belt is added to his attacks, as well as shooting tree roots that grow from his body, the nature of his behavior is active. When the mask changes to red, his behavior becomes aggressive and an elongation of these roots is added to the root shooting, at which point he can immobilize the opponent, push or pierce the roots. A summoning of local mobs is added to the sound attack, these are small devils + a reaper. The small devils and the reaper will be shown separately along with the surroundings.
Among other things, he is able to cast spells / curses, which have two types, the first is something shining like in the image, the second option is the appearance of runes that envelop the enemy and gradually take away health, curse casts.
