MAKE USE OF FILTERS

Concept artist Brandon Liao gives insights into his visual development work on Spectre Divide

-  Brandon Liao

“The illustration was created as part of the visual development effort to conceptualise the world of Spectre Divide, a first-person shooter.

The image depicts a part of Wildhaven District in Breakwater, one of the settings that the game takes place in. The goal was to create several illustrations together, so speed was a factor. The artwork made heavy use of filters in Photoshop that gave the photos used in it a more gouache-like look, which gave me a workable base before painting in earnest.
