Bosses are the biggest, baddest, and strongest enemies in any video game. They control hordes of monsters, rule the land, and they usually take a lot of skill to defeat. You are challenged to create a new colossus (a boss) for the new massively multi-player online role-playing game, RIFT.
You’re traveling through Telara as a bright light appears. A massive rift opens up and monsters start invading. Your team fights to protect their land. As they continuously battle the invading monsters, a massive, 10-story colossus appears.deviantART is challenging artists to answer the question: What does this colossus look like in RIFT? Choose one of the six planar themes: earth, air, fire, water, life, or death. Create concept art of a colossus using one of the themes. You can use your favorite image editing tool, a 3D program, or traditional media.
Your colossus:
- Must be based on only one of the six planar themes.
- Must be very large within the scale of the game environment.
- Must be original to you and all elements must originate from you.
- You cannot copy graphic material from the game.
- Can be made in any medium as long as you submit it as a JPG or a PNG.
- Can be made using licensed brushes and textures, but you may not use third-party stock in your entry
