Alvah

Alvah is a character I created and sculpted for my 3D Design Class.

The Idea was to create a God of Darkness, inspired by japanese culture and Games like Genshin Impact and League of Legends.

Origin Story

3D Design

At the beginning of all existence was Alvah, alone in the void, ruling as God over it. When Ciana, the Goddess of Light, came and filled the void, a fierce battle erupted between them. Shaken by the destruction, they made peace and allowed life to emerge and thrive. Witches and wizards populated their world. Alvah ruled over the witches, and Ciana over the wizards. Alvah descended to the world to walk among the beings and fell in love with a witch. However, out of jealousy, Ciana killed the witch, and the wrath ignited once again in Alvah.

Early Concepts

Although I really liked the thought of glowing limbs and swirling waves on his Body, it just did not translate enough as "dark and voidless” as I wanted it to.

The challenge in this Design was to show Alvahs human Form while maintaining the supernatural aspects of his true Form. I simplified his design by removing clothing parts, for example his gloves and all the golden details, and replacing them with pleated pants and beads with smaller golden details.

The void in his Chest and black spots and swirls, with the the claw like hands resemble his god like side aswell as his clothes dissolving into shadows.
