The unfinished painting Smudge
This is a work in progress creature model concept for a horror game. It will be sculpted in Blender and later textured in Substance Painter.
Smudge, a sinister creature born from an abandoned cursed painting who leaches off of color. They play the role of a stalker like enemy who hunts by sound. Smudge has no mouth and doesn't require food to survive, but it has a desperate need to become whole and complete.
Smudge is inspired by many horrific creatures from various media such as Silent Hill, Slender and Doctor who.
I wanted the design to be humanoid, but with exaggerated anatomy in jutting bones and emaciated flesh.
It looks deceptively weak and frail until you witness how fast and erratic it will move when on the hunt for anything that it hears.
