A WAY OUT - Character Art Dump

Hey ZBrushCentral!

I would like to show you some of the work I did for the indie game A Way Out. I started out as an intern just when production of the game got started and by the end of it I had become the Lead Character Artist at Hazelight. During the years of production I learned a lot and as always ZBrush was my main tool when it came to creating the characters for A Way Out. Big thanks to everyone at Hazelight! Credit goes to the whole studio. The entire team worked really hard to make this game happen.

Leo & Vincent

Throughout production of A Way Out I was tasked with creating many of the main characters. It was an honor to be a part of this project and to be entrusted with creating Leo and Vincent as they are some of the most important characters in the game. My role as a character artist mainly focused on sculpting, modeling and texturing their heads, bodies, arms/hands and hairstyles (plus some wrinkle maps etc). During the project I always kept an eye on their overall look based on the directions from our Creative Director, Josef Fares, and Art Director, Claes Engdal. Many of Leo and Vincent’s different outfits were created by the other talented character artists at Hazelight; including Moa Alfredsson, Hvile Öhrnell and Carl-Emil Andreasson. Shaders were done by Jon Micheelsen.

The Hitman

On the hitman model my role mainly focused on sculpting, modeling and texturing the head and hair. The hitman’s clothes were sculpted and modeled by Carl-Emil Andreasson. I created the final in-game textures of the body with some additional tweaks in the end.
Unfortunately the mustache did not make it into the final game (but I did some renders with it anyway ^^.)
