iowerth portrait

portrait for iowerth. despite being the hardest to draw, he is my favorite design of the initial elden ring group ... and as time has gone on, he's become one of my favorite characters, too.

the concept came pretty naturally: i thought the golems & stone imps were cool, and thought it was funny that you could wear some of their heads as a mask in-game. then i thought about how all of the imps lived underground in tombs ... so i wanted to make a burial imp. then i started thinking about "death" in the lands between, particularly undeath & the connections between godwyn & miquella, and voila -- iowerth was born. random statue who got possessed by the soul of the hero it once guarded in death, after the spread of deathroot began disrupting corpses.
