Einar Duncan, the guardian of the Noctelux Pendulum

For the color part, I worked with analogous palettes since I didn't want much contrast, but rather sought sobriety.

Then I chose the parts that seemed most interesting to me from the 3 iterations to obtain a piece with a better balance.

I chose a skull silhouette as my base idea because I found it interesting. I began to develop the idea further with different iterations on the armor, looking for something that would give it a certain air of leadership or nobility.

As I started my first sketches, I came up with the idea that it wouldn't necessarily be someone bad, but someone who honors their purpose.

The project began with the goal of creating a character for a stylized fantasy video game, whose initial role would be that of a powerful and imposing guardian.

Einar Duncan, the guardian of the Noctelux Pendulum

No one knows if he was human, elf, or something else. Only his spirit remains, bound to his armor and within him, an ancient consciousness. He is the protector of "The Pendulum of Noctelux," an ancient relic that channels the flow between revelation and oblivion. He cannot allow passage unless anyone proves worthy by testing their skill, will, and purpose in combat. He is an enemy not out of malice, but out of duty. If he is successfully defeated, he can be freed and become a spiritual ally.
