Cinder Crawler - Creature Concept Design for Tabletop Wargame

Cinder Crawler — a quadruped bio-mechanical creature design created for "The Forged" faction, a brutalist industrial civilization within the Battle of the Brushes creature design competition (design house Octo / Black Sun).

Design built around a horseshoe crab carapace (hard surface reference) contrasted against a wet hippo-skin texture language (soft tissue), with an asymmetric forward claw balancing predatory read against functional plausibility. Full presentation includes orthographic side/front turnarounds and human scale reference (44mm/32mm).

Pipeline: Blender blockout → 2D paintover in Photoshop.

Available for freelance creature, vehicle, and hard-surface concept work for tabletop wargames and indie game studios. Open to inquiries — see profile for contact.
