The Art of Jeff Murchie

This is another one of my concepts from 38 Studio's "Project Copernicus."  This enemy character was known as the Nemian Lion.  The Nemian Lion is famous from the Hercules legend and is typically portrayed as a gigantic Aftrican lion.  Our version was a Golem creature made of stone and clay.  I added some Greek scroll work to his design motif.  The area that you would have encountered this enemy in the world of Amalur had a heavy Greek aesthetic and one of the player character races were a race of large living statues called the Kollosae.
