Nightmare Hellion - Armor Concept

Design for the Nightmare Hellion armor set in New World. I had the pleasure of pitching this month's theme and assisted in directing the other amazing artists who worked on this collection. This armor in particular was based on the concept of the "flayed man", resembling exposed muscle, tissue, and bone and leaning into the idea of medieval torture.
Art Directors: Sojin Hwang and Charles Bradbury. Character Concept lead: Alex Fuhr.
