Trine 4: Ringed Seal

The cuddly seal character from the Trine Series's newest addition: Trine 4 the Nightmare Prince. I worked as a character artist and art director for the project.

The seal character is my interpretation of the Saimaa Ringed Seal, an endangered species living in lake Saimaa in Finland. I see their real life counterparts every summer at my summer cottage. To add a fantasy twist, this cute and cuddly seal received a water lily garland on her head. In Trine 4, the seal’s nightmares are fishing nets just like in the real world.
