TCG illustration cyborg dog

Illustration work created for the card game *Rise of Gods*, march 2026. The brief was to design a robot-themed dog chef. I developed two different concepts for the character, and Version A was selected for the final artwork.

For the robotic design, I drew inspiration from the cyborg characters featured in *Treasure Planet*, a film that has always been a great visual reference for me.

This piece is also especially meaningful on a personal level. The Shih Tzu portrayed in the illustration was inspired by one of my beloved dogs, who passed away in October 2025. Including her in this project was my way of paying tribute to her memory and celebrating all the joy and companionship she brought into my life.
