If I remember correctly, these are the rat costumes from the Australian Ballet's version of The Nutcracker, but the costumes from the English National Ballet are also a vibe.
I mean, look at this Rat King!

I cannot stress this enough.

If you're a junior or someone who wants to pursue Concept Art as a career, do not peruse ArtStation. Instead, take photos of weird things you see, be intrigued with how things are put together and made, be curious.

Good Concept Art is about IDEAS.

I'd love to work on a fantasy game with real basis in nature that'd teach the players all sorts of cool things about animals, plants, and insects, and encourage them to learn more.

Inspire people to be curious about our planet🌎✨

A basic mobile collection game about bees storing enough honey for the winter and fending off intruders.

Games that tell you how common insects you see every day help us in our daily lives, what things they protect us from.

Paladin Maar 🌌 @paladinmaar.bsky.social · Sep 11

I want to see more games inspired by nature....

There's a plethora of cool ideas to be had that can be super educational about the wonders of our planet and what inhabits it.

A game as a house spider where you learn to capture various prey and avoid detection by humans.
