Pond Plunder - Skullbill

The boss and main villain of a character design series based on my own multiplayer PvE beat-em-up videogame concept, Pond Plunder. He goes by the name of Skullbill, and he is of the shoebill bird species.

Story: In a period of severe drought, ponds all over the world have dried up. Splash Pond is one of the few remaining ponds with a large community of animals depending on it for survival. One day, Shoebill of The Great Lake arrives to Splash Pond, and announces his desire to redirect its water to The Great Lake. Little did the animals know that Skullbill is making an empire by combining all the world’s ponds into The Great Lake, essentially “invading” them! Some brainwashed creatures believe Shoebill to be their savior, believing that he will carry them over to The Great Lake for a better life.
