in light of last week’s news about BioWare’s closure, I felt it was time to share something I haven’t talked about publicly: from April until last week, I was the art director of the Mass Effect franchise.

In nearly 30 years in this industry, I’ve rarely seen a group so tightly knit, so experienced, and so good at working together. And I feel extremely honored to have been part of it.

As for what comes next, I’d be curious to peek into my own future. I simply don’t know. For now, I’ll take a bit of time before figuring out next steps. In the meantime, I wish everyone affected all the very best for what lies ahead.

I should do more line sketches but I'm quite obsessed with color theory at the moment. so I'll keep coloring line work for now.

I'm not far away from a "paint by numbers" process, but it's satisfying.

another color test on pencil sketches. I used to avoid this pencil+digital color mix. now I wonder why.

Procreate line work sketches. color in photoshop. heavily inspired by the color technique and a specific palette from my friend Gabriel Garza

fast sketch. when I have too much time, my images tend to slowly veer away from graphic shapes and bold decisions, and drift into a more conventional realism. not easy to nail this balance.
