Concept design for Wizards of the Coast's "Vecna: Eve of Ruin" campaign. This is a re-design/re-imagining of the classic D&D baddie "Miska the Wolf Spider" from 2nd Edition.

There were many elements to manage, as well as update the look, for this character. I went back and forth with the art director trying to find the best proportions to make the character read well.
