Borderlands 4 - The Bloom (DLC)

Aerial concept for dlc area 'The Bloom' that I made back in summer 2025. The Bloom is a massive canyon shaped by Elpis' impact. Vegetation only grows in shaded areas and around water sources, while anything exposed to the constant, blistering sun dies off. The result is a landscape of barren rock broken up by pockets of dense greenery hidden throughout the canyon. Big shoutout to Eric Metzler, he did such an increcible job building this world in-engine.
