The Art Of Environments

The Art Of Theft

He has been on the loose since his last big heist, two classic Vermeer paintings. No one knows who he is and no one can find him but the real question on everyone's mind is "How does he do it?". An expert on the job, he plans ahead and leaves nothing to chance, he scours his target, researches and preps for any posible inconvenience. This is the Art of Theft.

A scene that had been already started but never finished. I came back to it with all the knowledge I had gained and turned it into my latest piece of art. It has taken me 3 months to finish it, I modelled and textured everything in this project.

 I based it off a concept for Far Cry 5 by Michael Gunder that I initially wanted to follow but got caught up in a story about a famous thief and what his hideout could possibly look like. A normal man or woman during the day but once the thief walks down to the basement, he or she is a completely different person.

Trajan's Terrace

Born in a region of the Roman Empire where they weren't even considered citizens or had the same rights. This man, that was born in Hispania, would become known to many as one of the "Five Good Emperors". Trajan is one of my favorite historic figures and because of this I decided to make this scene inspired by the game Ryse: Son of Rome and my love for Ancient Roman History!

To tackle this project I decided to try new software and this is my first project with Unreal Engine 4, Substance Painter/Designer and Marvelous. It was a challenge to learn everything but so satisfying to see the final result!

It took around 2 months to finish, including the time taken to learn all the new programs. Enjoy!

I want to give a special thanks and shoutout to my family, friends and especially my girlfriend who has supported me the whole way through, even when I was down or not motivated to continue. Also want to thank the Dinusty discord of which I have been a member for a few years and I have always been welcome and recieved great feedback. Lastly, give thanks to everyone at TheRookies for creating these great opportunities for artists from all around the world! I hope you all enjoyed my work and there is much more to come!
