While working at Defiant Studios we took on some work for Digital Extremes’ Game: WarFrame. I was tasked with designing and creating a boss for their Plains of Eidolon expansion. I was provided with a rough low poly base mesh and I expanded upon it.

This was a very early test during pre-production to see if the usage of normal maps would yield a look we could move forward with. Ultimately we decided this is not the right direction for the look of the game.
During Pre production we explored creating all the background art in full 3D. However this was later abandoned in favor of a 2d matte painting approach.
Drawing consistent hard surface objects for animation is incredibly difficult. To make it easier on the animators I modeled a lot of hard surface objects that I rendered out in 360 degree png images that they could draw over in the games style.
I was responsible for coming up with the overall tone and direction of the environments for both in house and outsourced concept art. These mood boards were meant to give artists a jumping off point when they began their tasks.
