THE FINALS | Las Vegas Stadium
I had the pleasure of working on the THE FINALS - S6 Las Vegas Stadium, as an Environment Artist.
For this season, we had to take the existing Las Vegas map and reimagine it, as a sponsor take over. It was more than just a rework, it’s a reinvention, freshening it up to feel modern, sleek and of course with more fluid and much improved game flow across the map.
Alongside my colleagues, we each focused on a sponsor, assigned to each artist, to bring it to the required art vision.
I was responsible for the Engimo sponsored building. Engimo being a cutting-edge communications company, based in Japan, on top of the now usual tech features of the brand, we added a bigger presence of its roots, introducing more japanese interior themes, like an interior zen garden, a bonsai tree specific for Engimo and some other supporting themed accents. All this without loosing the building's main functionality, being a casino.

It would be difficult to name everyone involved, but, as always, massive team effort to make each season possible and it couldn't have been done without each and everyone on the talented team at Embark Studios.
