Corvus Cadaverous Pet Concept for Diablo III

"Corvus Cadaverous," the newest pet for Season 27 of Diablo III, has been a very particular labor of love for me. :)

Here's my initial concept, which I used to pitch the idea of a playful pup (and especially resilient limb) to the Diablo team.

Waaaaaaayyy back, I remember someone from the D3 team using the term "concentrated cool" in a meeting, and concepts like that stuck with me, and led me to pivot the design here to try to be even *more* deeply engrained in being identifiably "Diablo" by swapping out the arm and knife to look as if it was from a creature in-game rather than an unidentified human. I ended up going with a Fallen Shaman because my morbid sense of humor loved the sort of story beat/flip because *they* are usually the ones resurrecting their allies.

In this case... who knows *what* all happened here, but... at least this happy pup got a nice (if unwilling) reanimated chew toy out of it. ;D
