This project was for a monster design challenge from Trent Kaniuga and his art house Aquatic Moon.
Prompt: "December concept art challenge = Design a monster Hunter world creature! For this months challenge, let's switch it up to create some monsters! This particular predator can be any size, and lives in a swampy jungle environment. Be creative with gameplay ideas! Maybe It has some sort of projectile that it shoots at enemies to incapacitate them, or it camouflages itself into the unique plants of the jungle environment. How does it hunt? how does it hide? What unique property does it have that will make it dangerous to the player and to its prey? It should look deadly, and fit into the art style of Monster Hunter World. Bonus Points for creating a player armor set that matches, as Monster Hunters use the parts of the creatures to make their armor themes!"
