Middle Earth - Shadow of Mordor

In 2014 I got to work as a Lighter/CG Generalist  for the in-game cinematics of Middle Earth : Shadow of Mordor. It was a wonderful experience. 

Below are some of the scenes I worked on.

Still Life

This is a study of of the doomed love affair between two lonely bananas.

Light and Shadow

This is an exercise on Light and Shadow on different shapes. It was done in Photoshop.  
The original sketch was by Andrew Loomis.

Master Study

This is a Master Study I made from the beautiful art of  Ketka. 
The purpose of this exercise was to be able to copy artwork done by another artist. Because of this study, I was able to learn new painting strokes and styles of shading. I really like how Ketka does the shading for the skin and clothes, making them look luminous.

Eneloop Bike

Modeled in Maya. No textures. Rendered in Vray.
All models, lights and rendering were done by me.
