Concept Art
"THE GATES"
UE5 concept environment - quick paint-over with photo-bashed waterfalls. I wanted to explore the idea of two tectonic plates be utilized as a sort of gateway - quick project, but fun! After exploring different lighting and atmospheric explorations, I pulled my favorite into Photoshop where I did a quick paintover and added some texture/water.
Environment Concept:
UE5 Concept Art - this was my first piece utilizing water. I enjoyed playing with the lighting/fog density to bring a "larger than life" sense of scale to the environment.
​
Once I was happy with the composition and lighting, I pulled the final render into Photoshop where I added birds and changed the clouds to better fit the scene.
ENVIRONMENT
Ritualistic Tomb - Concept Environment
Blender environment concept art - I have been self-learning multiple new programs over the last semester. As much as a learning curve it's proven to be as a 2D Illustration student, the payoff is worth it for my artistic growth!
​
The concept was this massive ritualistic tomb space, barren and forsaken. Every object was painted in 3D substance painter and basic UV mapping! I wanted the space to expand upon itself and feel massive yet minimalistic.

Photoshop - photo bashed environment concept​
Environment Concept:
UE5 concept environment - for this piece, I wanted to take a different approach than my regular work. ​When I approach any environment piece I always think about the lighting upfront, the impact that it has on a scene, and how to dramatize it. However, for this piece, I wanted to re-approach that view, and create a more haunting, dramatic environment with a lack of direct light!
"THE SPREAD"
Environment concept art made in Photoshop using different techniques.
I wanted to explore this idea of an abandoned shipyard in post-apocalyptic America, where much of the environment suffers from unexplained rust - and tar.
"RED"
Environment concept art made in Photoshop using different techniques.
For this piece, I wanted to challenge myself with lighting/environment, and how those two can enhance a scene.
