Bringing realism to this fantastical world, we were tasked with creating a grounded supporting community of Great Apes who live in the Hollow Earth.
Building off the design of Kong, Skar King, and Suko, our designers developed many of the Great Apes tribe, characters both benevolent and antagonistic. This includes exploring their physiology, stance, and how they might look in different views and their facial characteristics. In order to create what felt like a tribe made up of individuals, we explored many variations of Skar King's supporters, females and even babies.
By taking a research-based approach, we’re able to imbue these supporting members of the community with believability and grounding.
