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 dismembered bodies, as a Character Artist, I was responsible for enhancing the “body horror” aspect to ensure consistency with the events and tone of the game.
To introduce variation, we created several elements: a severed head, an arm cut at the bicep, and another at the forearm. These assets allowed us to build a wide range of combinations for the corpses, which were then placed and staged throughout the levels. I assisted Clément Rigondet, who handled a large part of the corpse placement in the game, ensuring each scene remained both narratively coherent and visually impactful.
As someone who loves anatomy, working on cross-sections of the human body was a particularly enjoyable experience, and one I found extremely rewarding.
