LOTR: Return to Moria - Mine Biome

In the Mines of Moria I was responsible for world building, set dressing and creating unique mining assemblages to assist with story telling. I first built the world with large primary structures then went down to the secondary and tertiary forms for narrative building. I was also responsible for mentoring and providing feedback for the renders taken here. This would include composition,framing,set dressing and lighting.

I worked closely with the Art Director and Lead Artist, taking on feedback and implementing it within a set time frame. The mines were developed through an iterative process, working without concept art but instead relying on high-level direction and visual references to support the games vision.
