Infinite Crisis
As the Lead Artist throughout the early prototypes and final iteration for Infinite Crisis. I would communicate with the designers for the map designs, create greyboxes for early testing of the maps and this would assist the concept artists, as well as reference the environment artists to assist with development. In the early prototype stages, I was the sole artist for greyboxing and creating prototypes, on the environments and with each version, we grew the art team, eventually I would oversee the environment development, communicating with the designers and art director to the artists.

I was responsible for the implementation of Havok cloth across the all the characters. A variety of different methods were used for the characters; through simple collision on a single cloth layer, overlapping layers, bone driven in HBT.
Infinite Crisis started out life as a console MOBA. Early environment and game play tests were created to support this. I oversaw the environment teams in the creation of the level, mood atmosphere and working with design in layout.

Part of the early tests the creation of Amazo, our multiverse take on a character that would use the players own powers against them if they used on it first. But was designed to roll in for a dramatic entrance.
Based on the original Amazo steampunk model, this is one of the guardians, used a boss in the Coast City map.
To push myself out of my comfort zone, I created the Harley Quinn character for game. It was a fun experience and glad I did it.
part of my responsibilities was to be the first into the maps to begin communicating with the designers on what was required from a design stand point and begin planning the environment.

The end result was a template for the artists to work off of to create the final vision of the levels.
