Destiny 2 - Concept Art / Matte Painting - New Legends Will Rise
Concept Art - I merged several elements together using "photo-bashing" to achieve the desired look. This became a key reference for the creative team.

Concept Art - created using 3D models, live action elements, as well as free creative painting in Photoshop. The challenge here was to show as much action as possible in the art, but still maintain a clear visual read on the characters.

Concept Art - the beasts depicted were Zbrush models without textures, so I painted details only on the leading beast and used silhouettes for the rest against the window light to save time.

Concept Art - using 3D models, live action elements, and Photoshop, I created this painting knowing that I would also be responsible for the matte painting. I was able to reuse the 3D models and lighting rig in the final shot, streamlining the workflow.

Final Matte Painting - I created several layers for the lights and neon signs so they could be animated in the final comp.

The Final Trailer - "...for the puppies!!" became a favorite line from the piece, but there are many funny moments sprinkled in with all the action. It was a pleasure for me to be a part of this, working with the great team at Framestore LA.

Destiny 2 - Concept Art / Matte Painting - New Legends Will Rise

In 2017, I worked with Framestore LA's creative team to create concept art and matte paintings for the teaser trailer of Destiny 2. These pieces were designed to capture the essence of the game's world and characters, and help generate excitement for the upcoming release. It was a rewarding experience to contribute to such a high-profile project, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have collaborated with the talented team at Framestore LA.
