So, I was pretty unhappy with the Luden’s facial design in my last concept post. He appeared too flat to me. This pushed me to try and add more color to him. Not intensely, but in a way that’s fleshy and almost organic, to contrast against his synthetic being~.

The synthetic hair, as well as the red tints, I thought, really gave him the organic appearance I was looking for. I also think it makes him appear more humane, but also more~… not~? If that makes any sense~.

I’m trying to develop my own aesthetic. I want to bring organic and synthetic together in a strange combination, that is both horrifying and pretty, in a strange way. I’m also really digging the color combination of white and red. It used to be one of my least favorite color combinations, but it turns out, if you do it right, it looks terrifically elegant~.
