How's your weekend doing, guys?! 🤘
Searching the project's content, I found one of the oldest folders we have! It contains the references for the creation of Hellgore, the main character of our adventure 😎
I'm talking about late 2015 (3 years ago). For that moment, here at Saibot Studios we were finishing the horror saga Doorways. So during holidays, I decided to slowly start building the next project...
Since all of us in the dev team were focused in Doorways, I had to look for a new talent who had the vision for this new crazy thing that was in my mind since my childhood and which ended up called Hellbound 😈
So I started googling some references with the style for this grotesque thing and putting them inside this folder 👍
As you can see them below, this were characters from different areas: videogames, movies and comics; but all of them with a word in common: BADASS!
After sending some test to different artists (and with anecdotes in the middle as well), and found Fernando Muzzio. And damn... this guy was perfect for this, he is as crazy and passionate as the rest of us! 🤓

I know he will hate me for posting this two images at the end, those were the tests he made for that time. And from there we started creating Hellgore, the rest... is history!
Have a hell of a weekend everybody!
