Mutated Nature - The Art of Second Extinction
Like nature itself, the art of Second Extinction is both brutal and beautiful.
From the marauding, mutant dinosaurs to the eerily familiar scenic landscapes, they roam. From the bouncing fireflies to the chunky futuristic tech, our heroes have pieced together. There is a mix of old and new, seen, and undiscovered. The natural has been mutated from the familiar to the unseen and unusual. Yet it all feels grounded and somehow relatable. We’ve all seen shotguns and assault rifles. We’ve all seen paleo-artist interpretations of iconic dinosaurs. But not like this. Mutated and reinterpreted. Chopped and screwed for a new audience.
So how do you take all of these unique and disparate pieces and make them fit into the same world? How do you mutate the nature of things?
To answer that, we’ve put Lead Artist Kristofer Ling in the hot seat to answer some burning questions and tell us about his experience working on the project.
