DPS Games - 2025

PC

STEEL HUNTERS is a Free-to-Play, PvPvE shooter with futuristic mech battles. Level up your Hunter and upgrade your arsenal to turn rivals into scrap. Choose your playstyle and combat tactics against 5 other duo teams. As a Senior Level Artist, my tasks are:

  • 3D environment prop design, modelling, optimization, mask creation and texturing.

  • Modelling, optimizing and building of massive landmarks for the map

  • Responsible of huge section of the level: dressing and authoring of big landmarks for the map

For this map, I was responsible of the blockout, 3D model, textures and optimization pass on the three cooling towers for this map and the dressing of the surrounding areas. The map was never released due to the project’s cancellation, so everything here remains a work in progress

During my time at Spilt Milk Studios I had the opportunity to work on the last PowerWash Simulator DLC, based on the world of Wallace & Gromit. My main responsibilities were:

  • Building two levels based on the show, using references and collaborating with the Lead Artist

  • Composing and dressing both levels from scratch

  • Modeling the necessary 3D assets the scenes needed (houses, street lights, moon rocks)

  • Procedural textures matching PWS style

Drop Dead: The Cabin

Soul Assembly - 2023

meta quest 2

Before I left Soul Assembly (previously Pixel Toys) I had the pleasure to work on the early days of Drop Dead: The Cabin. My tasks were:

  • Early art style exploration with along the Lead Artist and Art Director

  • Art exploration and discovery on the beauty corner

  • Composing and dressing test levels working with level designers

  • Asset exploration testing workflows and styles

  • Procedural textures exploration and testing

  • Style and atmosphere boards for different locations

Generator machine: this asset is one of the big machines we have in the level. The player have to replenish the batteries with it to have power in the main building. The asset is animated, lots of parts are moving in engine and the player will interact with, mainly, the yellow pull to start the generator

~19k triangles and one 4k textures set

Battery machine: this asset is one of the big machines we have in the level. The player have to activate it to have power in the main cabin. Interactable asset in-game.

~8.7k triangles and one 4k textures set

Additional assets I did for the interior and exterior of the cabin

olliolli: rogue riders

codename: calverton

ios - unity[2023-2024] - cancelled

OlliOlli: Rogue Riders was the last entry for the OlliOlli series. With procedural levels and a roguelite mechanic, it basically had infinite levels and a lot of replayability. The player will visit again OlliOlli World biomes with a new twist. It incorporated new mechanics and touch control.I was responsible of four of the six biomes of the game, overall look, mood and construction of it to make it work with the procedural tools. For it, we used all the material from the base OlliOlli World game since it was in the same universe.Here is pure gameplay of all the work the team made

lego space program: a kerbal adventure

codename: project pizza

roll7 co-developing with intercept games

pc, consoles - UNREAL ENGINE 5 [2023-2024] - cancelled

Project Pizza was a co-dev project with Intercept Games. Running in Unreal Engine 5, it was an open world (galaxy) third person platformer and puzzle game with driving and building with physics. It was a blend between the Kerbal Space Program franchise -taking from it the rocket/vehicle physics- and LEGO franchise -building, set pieces and general art direction-.
The main characters crashed in a desertic planet (or is what they think) and to repair their ship, they have to solve puzzles across the open world planet to get new pieces for the ship and get to the next planet. You'll meet LEGO characters here and there and they will give the player missions and clues for how to solve the world's puzzle. The planets we worked were a full round planet with seamless navigation and no loading times. Everything based on gravity and physics, the player have to built each vehicle according the necessities and hazards of the planet.For this project, my tasks were:

  • Key and concept art for the first two biomes

  • Art exploration and discovery on the beauty corner

  • Composing and dressing test levels working with level designers

  • Discovery and testing modular kits for level dressing

Key art for the fist two biomes: Moog (desertic planet) and Moog Oasis (an underground oasis on Moog Planet)
We wanted to explore general planet mood, rock formations, flora and style

Examples on planet and base exploration, Oasis flora and how it reacts to the player

Beauty corner shots and some of the rocks I did during exploration phase

Examples of levels I dressed using modular rock kits.
For the snowy planet, I used the rock kit I did for the beauty corner, adapting the textures to look like ice and snow. For the big meteor level, I used a new rock kit made by Intercept's environment artist Tim Curry.

Examples of procedural materials I did on Substance Designer.

STUNTZ

pc - UNREAL ENGINE 5 [2023] - INTERNAL PROJECT

Stuntz was an internal training to use Unreal Engine 5 for future projects. It was a motorcycle racing game using LEGO sets and pieces. Since it was LEGO, I thought that would be nice if the LEGO pieces stayed with a real life scale, so everything else is giant. I was in charge of the dressing, composition and lighting of the base level. We had 3 different tracks, but the environment always stayed the same. I added a night lighting to have some variety on the third track. Worked using Lumen and Nanite.
All the meshes used for the environment are from the training Unreal Engine project.

The LEGO pieces and meshes used for the tracks were done with the Unreal LEGO plugin by Jeremi Boutelet and Aubrey McCarthy

athena

pc and consoles - unity [2022-2023] - cancelled

Athena was an open world third person extraction shooter with parkour. It started from the ashes of the previous prototype, VERTICA, and evolved as its own thing. With a more stylized and vivid artstyle, we started exploring a heavily sculpted artstyle to, at the end, a more stylized one. Lighting and colour was important since the beginning, with dramatic lighting and a big sense of scale.

One of the first test levels I did. We wanted a big central structure with a heavy sense of scale.
I was responsible of everything on this level, from sculpting and optimising the assets used to dressing and lighting the leve. First two screenshots taken by Bill Lowe.

Art direction changed to a more vivid and light mood but continuing with the sculpt workflow with PBR materials adding metal to the assets. Here are some examples of a test level with new assets within the new style with concept art from our concept artist Gregoire Frot.

We still wanted a big structure on the level and the triangular shape, so we maintained it on the big background statue.
I was responsible of everything on this level, from sculpting and optimising the assets used to dressing and lighting the level. Vegetation is from a Megascans pack.

Structures used on the level. Substance Painter renders.

Central piece for the interior building lobby. Sculpt test. Concept art from Gregoire Frot.

Art direction changed again to a non-PBR visuals, with tileable textures and materials shared accross the assets. In this new look, we tried a new paintarly/splashed kind of textures as shown in this building.

Modular building I did to test enemy scale, character movement, traversal, texture style in big structures and modularity for buildings.
Materials done by the principal environment artist (Tim Ash) and character by the character artists team (Rachel Cox, Jeremi Boutelet and Arthur Tubb).

VERTICA

pc and consoles - unity [2022] - cancelled

Vertica was a sci-fi third person shooter with parkour elements. Artstyle wise was really influenced by (at the beginning of it) BLAME! and AKIRA. Lots of tubes, pipes, cables and wiring with a lot of mechanical assets. We wanted to work a lot with dramatic lighting, volumetric fog and god rays and colour contrast.

We continued with the style exploration and changed to a more brutalist look, more influenced by CONTROL (Remedy Entertainment - 2019) with lots of concrete and red and white lighting
