Chtulhu - The Cosmic Abyss
A game by Big Bad Wolf Studio - 2026
-----------------------
Hello!
I’m very happy to finally share the work I did on Chtulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, the first video game I had the opportunity to work on, from pre-production all the way to release.
This project was a great opportunity to help establish and structure the entire character pipeline at Big Bad Wolf, in close collaboration with the rigging, animation, and tech art teams.
I’m therefore very proud to present a part of my work on this project, created as part of a small team of two character artists and a lead.

For the Shoggoth, as a Character Artist, this was one of the most challenging assets I worked on during the production.
The creature is massive, yet players can get very close to it, which required us to develop specific technical solutions in collaboration with the tech team.
I was responsible for modeling and adapting the creature while staying true to the artistic direction. The initial concept had to evolve during production to accommodate gameplay constraints, which led to several iterations directly in 3D.
Despite the challenges, I truly enjoyed bringing this creature to life. It was a highly collaborative effort involving character, animation, rigging, tech art, and environment teams.
For the eyes, we used separate modular elements placed directly in the level where needed, allowing us to maintain strong visual impact while keeping performance optimized.
