This was a very fun reveal at Blizzcon for us." Hacking" Blizzcon was a great idea and entertaining to hear the crowd reaction. I had the honor to work on the cinematic look development for Sombra. This included the Texturing, Shading, and hair groom using xgen in Maya.

Another fun reveal at Blizzcon. I was the Surfacing Lead and got to work on the stylized cinematic version of Varian, painting his textures and lookdev. Shout out to Sam Alicea for his Surfacing work on Ragnaros.

This episode was a unique one for us since we weren't able to leverage an environment from the game. All previous episodes have used a map from the game to help guide the look of the cinematic version. In this case, Toni Braticevic defined the initial look we were going for. I was the Surfacing Lead for this project, mostly working on random odds and ends inthe forest. I did the moss grooms on Bastion as well. Shout out to Jongha Baik for the Surfacing on Bastion.

I worked on a handful of the Thugs Surfacing for this episode. Got to Groom my first mohawk with xgen. The glow in the dark Tattoos were an interesting look for us to find. The end result came out very cool.

I saw an image of this style at the store and thought I'd attempt my own version using a similar color palette but as a triptych. Painted exclusively with a palette knife and no brushes.
