The Emerald Nightmare

Deep inside the tainted World Tree, Shaladrassil, lies the Nightmare Lord Xavius. His evil nightmare spreads across Val'sharah. These concepts explored the final boss encounter Xavius in the Emerald Nightmare Raid. I explored a dream-like space, a blend of the physical and ethereal, leaving the player to wonder if they were in a real space or their own nightmare. Many thanks to our character team for the look of Xavius and the environment team for the twisted root kit.

A series of exploration concepts for mood and tone, and game encounter ideas.  We wanted the encounter to feel like you were in a dream, or more like a nightmare.

Let’s get weird, why not.
