Spoilers for the quest Childhood’s End ahead, scroll on by if you want that quest to be a surprise. 

These are some assets I created while working with Kate Pitstick and the narrative team on the Childhood’s End side quest for Borderlands 3. It was probably one of the most interesting (and depressing) things I got to tackle on the project. I actually studied children’s drawings and read some articles by art therapists and childhood psychologists in order to try and draw like a traumatized kid at various stages of her life.  I had just finished playing Life is Strange when i got assigned this, so I was super inspired to try my hand at visual storytelling through assets hidden within a level.
