Borderlands 3 Jabber

I got to design the Jabbers, which are a new monkey enemy type for Borderlands 3. You can also have one as a pet if you play as Fl4k!

Feel free to follow me on other social media! :D

Final concepts for the basic and badass Jabbers.

Detailed drawings for their faces both neutral and REEEEEEE

Turnaround

Very early exploration sketches. We wanted this to be a more playful and comedic creature that interacts with its environment.

An early lineup showing different sizes and attack roles that was used to help their gameplay designer pitch ideas to the team.

Color and pattern exploration

Attachment design for various classes of Jabbers, some of these were unused because they were deemed too cute.

Elemental variants and FX design.

Concept for a special miniboss named King Chewy. Shoutout to my coworker Robert Chew for inspiring me to give him a man bun. :D

Sketches for their huts/habitats.

Design for the loot-able barrel totems that the Jabbers use to decorate their habitats.

Early version of Fl4k's pet Jabber. This version was changed to better fit the Jabber's specific skills and expanded upon by Max Davenport.
