Trident of Triton - Sea of Thieves Fan Art

To achieve the Sea of Thieves aesthetic I wanted to Challenge myself by creating something unique and interesting that would fit within the lore. I focused on the narrative before I even started working on thumbnail concepts, I wanted the asset to have a purpose and connection to the shroud that surrounds the games worldspace. using this as reference I researched into the lore of the merfolk along with how they were perceived within the real world. Looking at mythology I was able to come up with an idea that could possibly be the answer to many questions I would ask myself about the game.
