Subnautica Below Zero

An exciting and unconventional game dedicated to exploring the underwater world on the other planet. Subnautica Below Zero is the second part of a world-famous game by Unknown Worlds. This time, the player comes to frosty arctic waters. Primarily engaged in designing environment concepts, I worked on both vast areas and specific objects. As a result, I have generated numerous plants to fill the world. In contrast to the previous part, this chapter has a more complex plot and larger number of characters (some of which I also designed). I took grand delight in working on a project related to my passion, the underwater worlds!
