Breath of the Wild 2 (Fanart) - Blood Moon Caverns Concept Art

I made these 3 images to submit for a BotW 2 landscape concept art challenge hosted by the Aquatic Moon Discord server.

Since there were no pyramids in the first game, I thought it would be cool if Link discovered a secret pyramid, "The Pyramid of Nabooru". Link discovers the hidden Pyramid of Nabooru and arrives at the summit during the blood moon. The beam emmited from the pyramid then transports Link inside of the Blood Moon, to explore the caverns within.

I think this could be a cool Idea for a dungeon entrance/dungeon in the second Botw game. Since the Gerudo's have a connection to the Blood Moon via Ganondorf, the game's trailer features a "Mummy Ganon", and people tend to associate pyramids with constellations, outer space, (and even Aliens! lol), I felt like those associations lent themselves well to this idea both in theme and canonically.

I wanted to make these look as close to the in game look of BotW as possible so I blocked these in in Blender using a series of custom cartoon shaders that I created, rendered with eevee, and painted over them in Photoshop.
