For my external art test, I was tasked with creating a boss for StarBound. To begin with I created a design document for this boss, I looked into the game and its world and settled for designing a boss belonging to a mini-biome called Swamp, I also research the creatures that inhabit the biome. This is where the idea of QuadFrog first came around. I then moved on to designing my boss and creating its pixel art and also the animations for him. Also, I looked into other bosses from StarBound and saw most of them had phases depending on their health, this is where I started to plan my bosses' attacks and at what point they would perform them.
