Lophi the Gilsankan Mage - Kristala

Lophi is the midboss for the first level of Astral Clocktower Studios' Soulslike debut game Kristala. He is a mutated fish that was corrupted by a curse scouring the land of Ailur. I wanted to give it the feeling that the mutation started from within, changing its anatomy to a grotesque human form that made its fish like skin burst at the seams and reveal the horrors undergoing beneath just the surface.
