GW2 Path of Fire: Raptor
Renders and some process images for GW2 Path of Fire's raptor mount.
Might add some nicer high poly renders later.
Initial concepting done by Carlyn Lim and originally made based on an enemy dino-rig from Heart of Thorns. This guy was the first mount finished and tested and changed a lot over the course of development.

Layer cake heads, these were made by turning on and off random layers on a ztool with a little tweaking. Fast and fun way to come up with a bunch of different ideas.

Color exploration for the default/base pattern. These are based on various desert reptiles.
Very early doodle idea.
