The lost monsters of Monster Hunter:

The Monster Hunter series (specially the older generations) has a very unique theme and design philosophy associated to it. People that are at least aware of this franchise can rather easily identify it through still images or short clips, and that is due their artistic style not being just iconic, but also very well established, and to achieve the beautiful cohesion we see in the final products, a lot of work is done behind the scenes.

Throughout their development, Capcom conceptualizes a surprising amount of assets: Monsters, armor, weapons, locales and other miscellaneous elements. So many of these are created in fact that they make entire books solely dedicated to the hundreds and hundreds of concepts arts that originate from their game’s production.

In these books we can find dozens, many dozens of sketches or even detailed illustrations of creatures; some we can easily recognize, others are strangely similar to existing in game bosses, and some of them…. Do not resemble anything we have seen yet.
