The Goblin Shaman has made a vow to the pagan gods: to protect the holy place, to bring the intruder's blood.
the background is a big cavern with entries to other smaller caves. I added the eye banners to signal a more ritualistic environment.
For the concept art of the Goblin Shaman, I wanted to give him blue skin color to try something different as usually goblins are green skin. Also wanted to give it some more tribal details with fabrics and fur instead of some kind of armor.
I did the sketch with good old pencil and paper, the pose for the Goblin I got it from a picture of a flying squirrel, I wanted to make it look agile, animal like.
Some color and light iterations for the mood of the illustration, the blue hues makes it look more mystical and magic
