Concept artist Karl Lindberg has shared some early concept artwork be provided of the adult Kalisk for Predator: Badlands and it shows an incredible beast! Karl worked with Jerad Marantz to develop a variety of approaches for the un-killable creature of Genna. Karl's designs gave the Kalisk a unique color palette, multiple eyes and a different head design, but the quills are an aspect which was retained in the final version.
