The Last Of Us Part II: Scar Docks

I was honored to help pitch the look and feel for the Scar's settlement early in production.
The main idea here was to hit two birds with one stone; For one, emphasizing the Scar's belief system by symbolically placing all of their buildings on the same level. This tied in nicely with providing their village with a distinctive feel and clearly shows that the Scar highly depend on fishing/ tides.
It created a fun sandbox of suggesting different gameplay opportunities with a unique flow, caused by building's trap doors, various water heights and plenty of opportunities to go prone thanks to the overall scaffold like walkway maze.
The overall Scar construction is inspired by colonial forts throughout the US. One application example would be the following: Using a stockade style wall for the Scar buildings offers a higher protection against wind, while also having a lighter visual footprint, which helps justify a potential building's placement on stilts or near the water.

The Last Of Us Part II: Chase

Abby and Lev riding towards the burning Scar capital.
Prior to what ended up in game, they were passing a large narcissus plantation/field. This type of narcissus plant plays a meaningful role in the Scar's culture. They can also be found in bulk at the prophet's memorial.

Commercial District - Sniper Street

These two images hold a special place in my heart.
Commercial district was made by using very minimum 3d and Sniperstreet was painted on top of a screenshot in Google Earth.
I was happy to see how close my concept got to the Sniper level in the game ^^

The Last of Us : Part II - Skeleton Concepts

The most important part about the skeletons, is readability of the clothes, skin, and bones, it all has to be clearly defined without the noise and all possible realistic details. That was one of the specific moments where I identified myself most in relation to this project, when we had to design the dead skeletons for our team. I got the task of how to come up with how the civilians died with another colleague Florent Lebrun. We were asked to focus on to get to the nitty gritty aspects such as how the flesh, bone, and clothes degenerated. When I got the hang of it, it showed me that when I put my mind to it, I can bring that point of view to life.

The Last of Us : Part II - Rolling Traps

I did this one 2 years ago, it was one of those images where I learned a ton while making it.



The Last of Us : Part II - Fungus exploration

Designing these fungus images required good knowledge of shape making. I can proudly say I grew a lot in that area ever since I started working on this project smiley !

The Last of Us : Part II - Dinosaur Museum - Aquarium: Owen's Room

While working On The Last of us II, I really started to appreciate the idea of setting up a whole scene in 3D. During the process, I really got to enjoy making interior designs. Seeing these concepts in the actual game itself is such a cool experience and a pinch yourself moment.
PS: Fun back story, while I was making the Dino image, I actually was learning blender at the same time. It was challenging, frustrating but so worth it.

The Last of Us : Part II - Joel's House + Aquarium Toy Store

While working on The Last of us part II, I really got to dive into interior design and getting to learn how to place the small story elements in the image itself.
Aquarium Giftshop - I was tasked with designing and coming up with original concepts of the octopus and store. This was a very challenging task because I had to do the whole store while mainting the consistency of the overal set. Fun fact. These were also my last images I did for the project,
joel's house - This was very challenging yet fun images to make. Also the fact that it was Joel's house made the little nerd in me extra happy

The Last of Us : Part II - Stadium Library

Happy to contributed to this awesome area!




The Last of Us : Part II - Depot - Abby exploration

For this image I actually drove up to the nearest Ikea I could find, talked to their staff, and upon approval started snapping photos of their isles where you collect the items. 80 procent of these images were done in 2D. This was before I got into blender and all smiley
(just some small info on my thoughtprocess in making these images)
As a concept artist of this caliber, I use 3d to maximize the quality and impact of the images at hand. For this, I learned a seemingly small yet highly efficient rule from the grandmaster of Naughty Dog concept art Eytan Zana. The 20/80 rule. When we are designing the interiors we tend to make 80% of the scene in 3D and after that move to photo shop for the remaining 20%. However, when it comes to organic imagery like vistas or outside locations where it is lush and greenery I apply 20% 3d and 80% photos or painting. The reasoning behind stems from the fact that hard surface things are more eligible to be captured in 3d as you don’t have to worry about the perspective. The calculation of 3d software will always help out in interior cases regarding light fall.

The Last of Us : Part II - International District/Chinatown Station

Nothing beats a good Sunrise image! Its always a challenge to capture the warm tones of the sky while maintaining the cold shadows.
-subtlety is key!

This is one of my proudest image I had the pleasure of making for The Last of Us 2.
It got spoiled earlier on. But here is the FInal HD version!

The Last of Us: Part 2 - Pioneer square

Early concept art done entirely in Photoshop, exploring what the pioneer square area could look like.




The Last of Us: Part 2 - Cemetary

Explorations for Santa Barbara cemetary, those were pretty fun to work on. I've included the 3D base for these two, didn't know much 3D at the time (these were done about 4 years ago). Interesting to see how even a simple 3D mockup can be a pretty good base for an image, when you can use photoshop well.
