I worked as Assistant Art Director for Karakter Design Studio on Horizon: Forbidden West for 18 months.
My responsibilities included to advance the style guide, prepare client presentations, receive and allocate briefings to artists and supervise their progress.
Additionally I developed a workflow in which I created 3D layouts for the depictions of Las Vegas and San Francisco. I populated these with the detailed POI blackouts of other artists and then created compositions for key artworks.
Finally I created video flythroughs through the whole locations, stopping at the compositions and overlaying them with the final artworks. This allowed us to create complex and interconnected locations with a great sense for scale for the player space.
Disclaimer: I’m not a 2D Artist and did no painting work on the following images. For all the contributing artists please visit the Karakter Website.
