Warhammer, Age of Sigmar: Soul Arena. Stylized concept work
Warhammer, Age of Sigmar: Soul Arena.
Acting as lead concept artist, I created stylized concepts for overall game pre-vis and layout, 100+ characters, multiple game environments, menu backdrops and lore related UI elements.
99% of the work was concepted directly in 3d using VR sculpting. This gave the client concept to approve that was extremely close to the look of the final asset and helped speed up the pipeline of a small development team since the full color 3d concept files were easy to hand over to technical artists for remaking/optimization without the need for traditional 2d callouts.
I had a ton of fun and a great experience working with Games Workshop and Trophy Games on this one!
Full game board concept image. All parts except some of the UI elements were done by me. All characters and environment parts were concepted in full color directly in 3d using VR sculpting.
This made it very easy for the next steps in pipeline.
Early blockout stage for the game board concept. Since all characters wer concepted in 3d - we could easily place them around the blockout to check for scale and or game-related issues vs the environment during the blockout and approval.
Since all character and environment parts were concepted in 3d - we could re-pose and re-use all the concept assets for marketing shots like this one.
