DAYMARE: 1994 Sandcastle - Final Boss

Meet the final boss in Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle! Given the character's backstory (if you haven't played the game yet, stop reading this!!), I delved into the concepts of divinity and alien-sea creature, while preserving a recognizable and 'compelled' human identity within the monstrous incomplete transformation. I wanted to capture the intimate connection with Reyes, so I imagined a human arm still reaching out, trying to connect with her sister, as if they could still share an embrace or a caress.

I've got a ways to go, but overall, I'm pretty proud of this piece. Crafting twisted creature designs is hands down my favorite thing to do in the art world!🎨🌟
