In my next set of concepts I looked at de-cluttering the design of the Hob with simply having moss on him - much like his stoney counterpart.
I chose irish moss because I liked the concept of flowers slowly blooming on the Hob overtime through the seasons; it breathed movement and life into the character even when standing still.
Taking the idea of moss further onto a full body design; with the challenge of designing a charming fae character who wears no clothes there was a possibility this could be what he wears during Autumn and Winter.
I feel the first concept of the moss worked well with achieving that look but as I made the moss look more like a cloak the design began to fail and became unreadable.
Reference Library:
Below is a collection of images found and saved that inspired and influenced these concepts - my main objective was to search for images of moss, different types of moss textures, moss growing patterns and interesting inspiration like moss growing on statues and animals.
