Aether's Reach
Aether's Reach
These are a few design iterations of the deity bird before settling on the third one for animation. The first captured the "vibe" our team wanted for this character, while the second was just experimenting with design elements. The third mixed them together and simplified it for animating in a lineless style. We wanted to keep it the same orange as the player's coat/cape because they are linked story-wise.
