Massive shoutout to Michele Clapton, the tremendous designer behind
@GameofThrones
' costumes.
Safe to say this show had the most colossal collection of medieval fantasy wardrobe that I'm sure will remain an excellent source of inspiration for artists in the years to come.

Here's a small sample of the visual development work I did during the time I spent on AC:Valhalla. The bulk of it was defining the iconography, but I also spent some time on the Codex and the gear quality system. Fistbump

Hi
#PortfolioDay
, my name is Daniel and I work as Presentation Art Director
@UbisoftQuebec

9 months ago we shipped

and it’s my biggest pride. If you played & enjoyed it let me know! 🤘

Was discussing game dev with a peer & something came up that I though I’d share : don’t assume great results = great process. I know a lot of folks look up to AAA games & try to identify the “perfect recipe”. The reality is that many of those were shipped in havoc.

Muting this. Started as a very benign jab at a Twitter feature I would use, did not mean to stir a political shitstorm. I understand that this feature isn’t there for a reason. However, reading hurtful RTs and comments over a photoshop joke is not something I handle well.

I vividly remember walking through the revolving doors of the studio for the first time, almost 15 (yes, fifteen) years ago.

Art Direction tip: When explaining your vision to the team, provide as many Dos and Don’ts examples as possible. Your idea of the final product might be vivid, but you can't expect your colleagues to mindread. They must undergo the same creative process you have.

Words can't express how excited I am to announce today that I'm joining the incredible folks over at Yellow Brick Games. Now on to convincing everyone on the team that Comic Sans is RAD!
Exciting news to share today! Our small crew is leveling up! Visual Design Director, Daniel Lucchesi & Audio Director, Aldo Sampaio are bringing a lot of great expertise to our first game. We also have a few other positions open if you like to join us!

A look back on these beautiful posters we had done for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The signature dark blue marble ended up everywhere in the visual identity but I'm quite fond of the white variation. Props to Helix for the sick renders, as always.

In 2021, amidst Covid, I learned not to take comfort & security for granted and made the move from 15 years in AAA to indie. Since then, there hasn’t been a day where I’m not excited to show you what we’re cooking over at
