I had the honor of concepting the main bosses for Ark Aquatica, developed by Snail Games USA.
The Lava Serpent, known as the Vulcanithys, is a giant, fire-breathing boss that occupies the Boiling Seas of Aquatica. I'm glad to be able to share the hand-developed work that I, and the other artists on the team, all produced. This piece was amazing to work on, and allowed me to bring my love for functional design and nature to a more fantastical stage.
