Halo 5: Guardians Art

Its been a wild 3 years on this project and I'm very glad to finally show off what I have been working on.

For the official Halo 5 Art Showcase: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/art-showcase


Some insights into this project. I was a principal artist on the new mode Breakout coming up with the art system and the overall look. I was leading not only internal but outsourcing teams as well in this great endeavor. I was working on the Midship remake known as Regret with Vic Deleon as we came up with a newer style before I was moved on to Plaza to help with the creation of that map.

All high poly singled out shots done by me

All materials shown in cubes and spheres were done by me

Additional modeling and texturing work for Plaze done by Mike Murrill (Map Lead), Dan Phillips, Realm Lovejoy.
Lighting for Plaza was done by Mark Ishak and Kenny Magnusson

I have a lot of new art coming down from the DLC we have announced and will update when that is released in the coming months. Here is some of my work. Thanks for looking!

3D Scanning Testing

Been a while. I have been working on shipping Halo 5 so most of my time has been there. Anyway my wife and I have been getting into 3D Scanning pipelines and it has been a blast. I was finally able to get some stuff to work out using techniques from online and from Liz.
I have a ways to go but I wanted to post some rough tests I rendered in 3ds Max

Banana Boat

Newest Piece, I've been on and off this thing for a while now but I finally had some time to finish it. Here it is.

Big update. Finally received a fresh copy of the book I was featured in. It is a huge honor to be in a book with so many talented artists. Here is my feature as well as a link to purchase!

Halo 5 Beta

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates but now I have something I've been working on and can finally show off!
As of tonight 11-10-14 343 has officially shown off some great stuff from the Halo 5 beta and the map I have been working on is out. I was one of the main artists in the new game mode Breakout. We wanted to convey a hardcore E-sport style and look and working with Kenneth Scott and then soon after the one and only Sparth. We got this bag of awesome. Thanks for looking and check out this video to see it in action

Rocket..Yeah! Satellite of Love Pt. 4

So I am calling this done. Maybe I will go back and update like I have with a few other pieces but right now I'm digging where its at now. Here are the final renders:

I've been getting a lot of emails and messages about what my wire frame looks like. So here you go. If you have followed or read any of my tutorials or articles I tend to let smoothing do a lot of the leg work so I have included but the wire frame not smoothed so you can see the shapes and typology and what the wire frame looks like after I smooth it out. 

And like any good artist, there are a ton of WIPs of renderings that just never made the cut. While they all had goods and bads here are some of the versions I had and some tests as well to show off lighting and material work.
