Starbound Inspired Boss in UE4

For an Art Test in university we were challenged to design a boss fight that would fit into the game Starbound by chucklefish. We had to create a concept idea, sprite the boss artwork, then create the boss fight in Unreal Engine 4 using the Paper2D plugin. This project was an immense challenge, but one I had a lot of fun with and learned a whole lot doing.
