Hello everyone,
I started this project during the collectible statues course by the incredible master Álvaro Ribeiro, but for health reasons I had to stop shortly before completing it. However, now back, I present to you my version of Skeleton Kings.
The King Leoric, also known as the Skeleton King, is one of the most striking characters in the “Diablo” universe. He was the ruler of the kingdom of Khanduras, whose fall into corruption turned him into a sinister and fearsome figure.
Leoric’s story is a tragedy involving power, madness, and death. Crowned with the Crown of the Nightmare, his mind was consumed by insanity, turning him into a bloodthirsty tyrant who terrorized his own people.
The fanart I share is based on various concepts found on the internet, which I used to synthesize everything I found most interesting for the character. Additionally, I added my own vision of King Leoric, attempting to capture his unique and iconic essence.
The visual of King Leoric in the game is truly incredible, standing out with his skeletal appearance dressed in royal armor, evoking both his former majesty and his terrible transformation. His empty eyes gleam with a dark light, echoing the sinister nature of his essence.
Leoric is a deeply captivating character, whose story and visual leave a lasting mark on the world of “Diablo”.
