Rise of Nations
(Big Huge Games) As the Building Lead on Rise of Legends I had the chance to do many concepts of the different vehicles and buildings used by the various factions. There were many details we had to consider but it was a fun process and we were all extremely proud of this game.
Concept for a giant Vinci cannon. This was inspired by WWII rail artillery, and it wasn't spec'd in the design but we ended up putting it into the game anyway.
The Doge Cannon in action.
I think this was the first sketch of the Vinci buildings. It helped set the steam punk mechanical nature of their buildings.
Another screenshot showing off the game art.
Concept of an interior for a cutscene.
Screenshot of a large Alin city. The entire team contributed to making the building, environment and character assets.
A screenshot of a battle in the snow outside a Vinci city. The art team came together to create snow assets to allow for different weather.
This was an early concept I did for the Alin buildings and their supports above the pits.
This shot shows some of the great buildings the team put together and how they could be laid out to represent large cities.
Concept of a mobile city for a faction that didn't make it into the final game.
This was a fun concept I did for a vehicle that didn't make the final game.
This was a concept for a Vinci airship.
Another massive Vinci vehicle.
This was an early concept trying to flesh out the look for a third faction.
Another concept for the Cuotl.

A Vinci super tank that I sketched up.
Various concepts I did of Vinci mining locations.
