This was probably one of my favorite pieces I have done in the last few months. I was asked to create concept art for a side scroller video game of a boss. I got to choose either a swamp, desert, or forest boss. I was really interested in creating an aligator boss so here is what I came up with. He is a lazy alligator that resides in a magical swamp world. Since he is incredibly lazy, all sorts of things start to grow on him like different kinds of mushrooms. These mushrooms are special as they start to give the alligator with strength as they grow, ultimately changing him into a massive monster. He would be a melee boss so his tail and arms are his main weapons along with his jaws. These mushrooms are a bit stronger than regular mushrooms so it takes awhile for them to fall off of him, but when there are finally no mushrooms left, he turns back into a small alligator and falls asleep, only to have the cycle repeat. But once he is defeated, the hero can bypass him and continue on his adventure.
