Hellforge Warcult – Melee Demon Unit Exploration

A mid-tier melee demon from my ongoing demon enemy series.

I explored multiple enemy types across different size tiers, starting with lighter melee units and pushing toward larger, heavier threats. This design was developed as a more aggressive close-range attacker — not as massive as the heavy/brute unit, but still physical, dangerous, and built around impact.

The goal was to make its gameplay role immediately readable through silhouette, posture, and proportion, while keeping it visually connected to the broader Hellforge Warcult faction.

Wrote a full breakdown about designing it here:
