It has been an amazing experience working at Notorious Studios. I had the opportunity to work with many great and talented individuals. To be able to work on an original game and IP, and from the start of a project is a rare thing and I am thankful to be part of something special.

Here are concepts I did for the Swamplands of ELDEGARDE, once lush and green, it has turned to decay from many battles. We wanted to explore different types of lands, along with how much color we could push, inspired by classic fantasy look of the past.

WWI trench battlefields were used as inspiration.  We even wanted some of the trees to look like explosions in the battlefield.  A flock of birds are startled by a group of Ogres sneaking toward a goblin camp
