The Last of Us


After almost 1,5 year being here at Naughty Dog, I can finally proudly present the project I've been working on this entire time. 'The Last of Us'.
It's been a blast so far! Working with Bruce Straley (Game Director) and Neil Druckmann (Creative Director) is by far best professional experience I had in my entire career.

Take a look at teaser trailer that was shown for the first time on VGA's 2011 last Saturday. And below, two of many concept artworks I've done for the project.

Looks pretty cool!:0)I like environment !:0)

Maciej Kuciara said...

Kan, these were done the same way as most of other environment concepts I shared over last year. Comes down to block-mesh from designers and nailing down the mood with directors, then color paint to get the lighting in place and photo-texturing the entire thing. And tons of tons of painting and touchups :)

Fantastyczne. Sam bym duszę oddał by pracować z takim studiem jak Naughty Dog :) Wątpię, aby dało się sobie wyobrazić jak się czujesz!

Amazing! If you don't mind, could you share how long was the entire process for a piece takes in the studio usually?

Maciej Kuciara said...

@Randize - it depends. there is alot of back and forth with design and directors, especially when your piece is supposed to set the style of the game. I cant remember how much time I spent on these to be honest. But if to take aside any discussions, iterations and others input, counting only rendering time, it would come down to couple of days.

Randize said...

Thanks Maciej! This is useful because sometimes when we juggle some work for production, the deadline is really tight. But as you said, some piece that needed to set the style of the game really can't be rushed.

So good. Love these paintings.
