Description Hey everyone, long time no see. I figured it was time I introduce everyone on dA to my personal world building project that I've been working on in my free time. These are designs for an art book I hope to make some day. It’s a medieval dark fantasy setting and the art is created as if it is designed for a game. I’m taking the classic approach and creating character, classes, weapons, monsters, and environments. These are mainly inspired by my favorite games/films like dark souls, bloodborne, the Witcher, and some others rpgs. Though it seems like Dark Souls is my primary influence. 

Creature design is my favorite so you'll see more of that than anything. If you have any suggestions or advice please let me know. And if you want to see more let me know! To start these are some mammal enemies that you'd encounter in the open world. Imagine yourself playing an open world souls game with elements from the witcher and the new assassins creed games. What would you use to fight these opponents?

Wolf - medium predators that hunt in packs. They sometimes appoint a massive dire wolf as their alpha. 

Panserbjorn - monstrous bears that are guardians of lost mages whose magic has kept them alive for centuries. They have unnatural strength and are seemingly impossible to kill; each garnishing trophies from battles won all over their bodies. It is speculated that warriors souls reside in these bears and explains why they're extremely aggressive and formidable opponents. Unlike regular bears, they especially enjoy eating human flesh. 

Dorynean Greatboar - massive bears with powerful tusks that charge anything that wanders into their territory. Their tusks are incredibly strong and are used for the crafting of weapons and for alchemical purposes....of course, if you can get them from the boar in the first place. 

Bear - Those not as powerful as their immortal man-eater counterparts, bears are still very dangerous to come across. Approach with caution. 

And that's it for now! I hope you enjoy them and want to see more, I have tons of art. Thanks for looking!

But I don't want to kill them :_(
I don't know much about drawing but if you like a more biological advise: The boar tusks look really cool but if they are going to fight with you... How are they gonna use them? Because they look so vertical. And I don't know the size of the boar but they also look a little thin to battle.

When I design creatures with tusks I usually have to redesign them to make the tusks at least a little useful or to not interfere in the animal movement XD

The drawings look cool!! I like the Panserbjorn!! I'm waiting to see more , I love Dark Souls and The Witcher too. I want to see more animals in the open world of Elden Ring
