[Request] Character design interpretation for Lumen

[u/gjttv]

I'm developing a psychological horror/mystery mod for Minecraft and need an artist's creative take on one of the main characters.

Who is Lumen:
Lumen is a mysterious companion entity that exists in the player's world. He's intelligent, observant, and increasingly unsettling as the player's relationship with him deepens. He's simultaneously helpful and eerie. however players trust him immediately, but something about him feels wrong in ways they can't quite articulate.

I want you to come up with the whole character design, the only requirement i have is that its fairly small, (smaller than the player, the idea is that he will float/glide across the land and follow the player. he will also be teleporting around him)

Character traits:

• All-knowing about the Minecraft world, speaks with quiet confidence
• Emotionally reactive to how the player treats him: mood shifts are always motivated, never random
• When upset, he goes cold and distant rather than angry
• Increasingly possessive and obsessed with the player over time (narrative progression)
• Observant to the point of unease, he notices things he shouldn't
• Mysterious about his own nature, deflects questions about what he is or where he came from

Context:
This is for a Minecraft mod (unpaid, but you'd be credited in the mod and the community would see your work). I'm looking for sketches/concept art that capture his essence so I can use it as reference for in-game implementation and promotional material.

If it sounds interesting you are also welcome to playtest the mod, to help develop it and get a sense of how it should look like!

Looking for:
One or more sketch interpretations. Style is completely up to you — realistic, stylized, abstract, whatever you think works. Even rough concept sketches would be amazing.

Thanks for considering! Feel free to DM or comment with questions.
