Here I present the bolt attached to a spine to make it look as sick as possible. I was definitely listening to some metal music that day.
Explorations for the bolt. Each designed to grab and insert itself into the host's spinal column and be impossible to remove without extensive damage.
I was fortunate enough to be given the insanely cool task of designing the Order's bolt implementation in Borderlands 4! For this design, the final image is entirely modeled and rendered in Blender. The viscera were painted on!
