Wrapped up work on the new Star Fox title for Switch 2, built with the team at Velan Studios.
Getting to work on this one was a personal highlight — Star Fox has been one of my favorite series since I was a kid, and helping shape the look of its world was a dream project.
What I worked on
Skies— atmospheric lighting and sky systems across multiple planets and environments –
Planets — surface and space-view planet art, built to hold up from orbit down to atmosphere –
Cutscene elements — supporting visual elements for in-engine cinematics
Every planet needed its own identity while still feeling like part of the same universe — that balance was the fun challenge of the project. Getting to build skies and worlds for a series I grew up loving made this one stick with me.
