Bloodborne ruined the Dark Souls aesthetic

[A D L]

I remember when I was drawing the Undead Dragon, I submitted a design draft that depicted a dragon swarming with maggots and other gross things. Miyazaki handed it back to me saying, “This isn’t dignified. Don’t rely on the gross factor to portray an undead dragon. Can’t you instead try to convey the deep sorrow of a magnificent beast doomed to a slow and possibly endless descent into ruin?”

Now there's Bloodborne-esque grotesque body horror everywhere. Shame. I still really like it, but the enemy designs don't feel as dignified as they were in Dark Souls 1

That's a quote from the making of Dark Souls 1. Miyazaki wanted elegance even in death. There's a lot more gorey designs in Dark Souls III I've noticed.
