Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3+4 | Environment Direction

I am humbled and proud to have worked with and led the incredible art team at Iron Galaxy Studios as the lead artist on this project. All the parks for THPS3+4 were a team effort from start to finish, with many artists contributing content, new ideas, feedback, iteration, set dressing, polishing, and optimizing all the assets. The environment art direction for this game was a team effort, and a big reason this game's art stands out is due to the valuable suggestions, feedback, and iterations provided by all the talented artists on the project.
