"I chose to create fan art of the Thunderjaw from Horizon Zero Dawn because I absolutely love the game, and I want to do more hard-surface work in the future," Nicolas says.
"I decided to rely on only the few references I found and make my own version. For the last project in my school term, I made a space mercenary with his weapons for a game project in Unreal Engine 5."
