Polluto, the Living Oil Slick and one of Dr. Killemoff's most notorious creations, has returned once more in all his menacingly gooey, oily glory!
Original and Past Appearances
In the original Toxic Crusaders cartoon, Polluto made a few appearances--debuting in the first episode of the 13-episode season.
Polluto also appeared in the NES Toxic Crusaders game! Here's a screenshot of him facing off against Toxie from that title.
Concept Art
When the current Toxic Crusaders game began development, we enlisted the help of artist Bryce Collins, who created the first pieces of concept art for Polluto!
Initial Sprite Design
And here we have our first rendition of Polluto's in-game sprite! You can see how we planned to scale him relative to Toxie and the other Crusaders.
They Made...a TOY?!
When we heard of the Polluto action figure getting released--first as a prototype, then as an actual figure--we just had to incorporate some of its elements into a more refined in-game sprite. We added some color and teeth to the big 'ol monster based on his figure!
Final In-Game Design
Afterwards, we settled on what would become Polluto's current design in the game--one that combined elements from his original look in the cartoon, his past appearance on the NES, and his recently released action figure.
Now that we've shown off how we designed Polluto, we'll be going into detail next time about all of his attacks as seen in the demo! Stay tuned for more!
