Process log: Other design aspects
Element breakdown
Personally I don't know anybodyelse does this, but I just like to give the viewer a bigger picture of things that make up this character, and I've been doing this with my other designs as well.
For example as you can see the majority of this creature is 'organic', and the pyramid is yellow meaning there's a lot of backstories happening with that (such as this creature's master probably lives in there and during battle he is gonna be on top of the pyramid and give orders etc).
