2011-2012 Art Director

PlayStation All Stars was a brawler set in a universe of Sony games and exclusives. Characters associated with the Sony Brand battled among mashups between franchises, for example Kratos from God of War fighting Nathan Drake from Uncharted in a Ratchet & Clank themed level.

The game is absolute madness.

The entire title was developed on a very tight timeline and budget, yet needed to accurately represent each game world and character as close to the visual quality of the parent franchise as possible, and still run at 60 FPS on a PlayStation 3. The characters needed to look great close up, and still hold up when the camera is pulled back to keep all players on screen.

Personally, my main artistic challenge for this title was to unify the varied art styles for each character and environment enough that they could work together in the same space, yet retain the defining visual traits so important to the owners of each IP. 

One of my last contributions before we shipped was conceptualizing and directing the game intro movie. Working with with an external vendor, we were able meet an incredibly tight deadline, and on budget by using well disguised game-resolution models.
