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.

I curated and worked with the lead designer, production, and pro skaters to create all of the final loadouts for pro boards, including the individual modular pieces that make up the skateboard elements, based on sponsors and individual skater approval. Each board setup had a unique deck graphic, griptape, set of trucks, and set of wheels depending on sponsor and pro likeness (and in the case of Andy Anderson, deck ribs as well). All items that made up a particular board were subject to brand and pro approval, and included over 500 unique assets for these pro-only loadouts, which were refined over several months. Additional lookdev and creation time went to sticker materials, placement, and orientation variations for each pro's deck graphic based on whether a pro is sponsored by particular brands and where pros typically place stickers on their real-life boards.

My work here included art direction, management, art creation, unique submaterial creation, all UI icon generation, all board implementation / in-game setup, optimization, polish, and bug testing.
