Here’s a few of the OG skins that I designed during my time at Epic. Working as a concept artist on the first 3 chapters of Fortnite was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. When I think back, I still can’t believe how the game blew up and became what it is today.

I did this sketch of TNTina when we were trying to figure out her glider animation—inspired by Dr. Strangelove, of course;) They ended up going with more of a surfing style animation instead, but I was happy with what they made. It has more applications for other characters.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how I usually work:
1. Rough design phase: Don’t worry about making the lines/brushstrokes pretty at this point. Just a quick and dirty sketch. Try things until it’s a strong design where the shapes/colors/values flow. It will be refined later.
