WENDIGO:
After the projects have been chosen, I was placed in the Wendigo team. 

After the brainstorming session we all have taken one main subject to draw. Even from the start, I knew that I wanted to create the Wendigo, which ultimately became a pet project for me.

As research goes, the description of the Wendigo, as it is in the legend is fairly complex. There was enough information for me to start from there. I also had a look at some other interpretations that I have found on Google Images, but none of them were entirely as I wanted them to be. 

Meanwhile, the other team members drew their own versions. Some things kept repeating in everyone's work: the deer legs, the skull and thin body; we decided to have that as a starting point.

Luckily, while playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I encountered a monster that was fairly close to what I was going for: the Leshen.




After finding the right inspiration, things went smoothly, so I drew the first version on paper.



 Everybody liked it, so I made more digital drawings.
