Krystalak Redesign Concept

Krystalak redesign. The overall design, I used the video game model as my main reference in order to stay loyal to the original but enhanced the design and make him a more Japanese monster design. I did my best to not make the design boring, generic or grounded. Because Krystalak is somewhat a semi alien monster I wanted to capture that look of something weird and otherworldly with a Japanese design aesthetic. Kinda like a monster from Yugioh, Final Fantasy, MonsterHunter, or Bloodborne.

I wanted Krystalak to look like a fast, agile, feral and super agressive monster which is why he is slim. Just the right balance proportions. Also on his face there are two purple crystal orbs that are his core to help him power up his crystals and to resemble a cyclops look.

Now for the color, instead of just on flat color and just full purple I added some oranges and reds to help balance the color palette on Krystalak’s spikes.
