Sunset Overdrive

Sunset Overdrive is a 3rd Person, Open World shooter.  It was a pleasure to work on this massive, stylized and vibrant game. I was responsible for envisioning the style for the player forts of the game. We developed a painterly rendering style that utilized blend maps and vertex painting. I worked closely with a concept artist and designer to flesh out the gameplay spaces. I was also responsible for modeling, texturing and graphic design for various locations around the open world.

Dungeons and Dragons Concept Art Direction Deck. The purpose of this deck was to kick off and guide the initial preproduction/concept phase for a D&D Triple-A game. My goal was to inspire and ignite the pre-production team and define initial direction for art style, tone and fidelity, while also including some production pipeline and process information.
