Wraith | The Witcher (Live-Action) Concept

Creature design project developed for the master in MST Concept Design School. I was assigned a random creature that hadn't been explored yet in the live-action Witcher series. The brief specified that I have to redesign the "Wraith" in a fresh and iconic way.
I decided to make the Wraith a much more visceral creature, mixed with crawling insects and a bit of religious figures. Then I explored her face in sculptor's clay, and after lots of sketches the final body was in ZBrush.

Disclaimer: Given the recent events with AI, I think the best strategy we can use as concept artists is to show that we are not replaceable.
