Hey guys! For the last 4 years I've been working with Jonathan Blow on 'The Witness' as a senior artist. The core art team consisted of 3 artists, me (Luis Antonio), Eric Anderson and Orsi Spanyol, and since the game was released on the 26th January, I've been slowly trying to gather all the work I did and find a way to…

Hey guys! I missed out on the 2014 contest, but I don't think I was really ready for it back then. I'm here to join this one! My main goal is to get as close to League's rendering style as possible and really push myself out of my comfort zone. So I will be doing a few studies of existing art here and there as well as my…
Salutations community, This is my first challenge and post of any kind on Polycount. I'm coming out of a long 3D/art hiatus, as this competition seems to be calling to me- thanks Allegorithmic!
