Character design for a TTRPG campaign: a Lich king with cosmic powers, who can create worlds and affect time and space. He also proudly wears the armor of an old rival.
My task was to create a character that, while undead, could showcase both a certain cosmic aspect and an old rivalry. The end result was built around circular / planetary motifs, with a strong influence of historical armor for the iron parts. The spell was also made to be a bit cartoony and reference super hero comic spells (with bubbles as the main showcase for force fields!). The levitation also adds an air of sanctity to the pose, and helps reinforce the powerful and mythical presence of the character.
