‘LAST OF US II’ Artist Shares His Creative Process

Naughty Dog Sr. Concept Artist on the Fundamentals of Design
In this episode of GameDay, we are joined by accomplished educator and Lead Concept Artist Aaron Limonick to discuss principles of design and watch as he translates a 2D sketch into 3D using Octane Render and our Ancients kit. Apart from The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 with Naughty Dog, Aaron’s vast professional experience includes work for Transformers: War for Cybertron, Jupiter Ascending, and numerous studios like Blur, Paramount, LEGO, and Disney. 

Similar to how he approached the cover art for our Machinery kit, Aaron walks us through his process of creating a rough value sketch, adding detail, loosely blocking in 3D, and experimentation with assets. Even if you are unfamiliar with Octane, his method of settling on a simple composition first and then fleshing out the minutiae can be used no matter what medium you choose to work in. 

Since he has a background in sketching and illustration, Aaron has come to appreciate that different tools can give you the ability to think in different ways. He believes artists have a lot to gain by embracing new skills like 3D, or falling back on the humble pen & paper. To the 2D pur...

It looked like two teens were shooting a black handgun out the window of the vehicle, playing with it and drinking between shots, a police report said.

Even for people who despise AI, the least of their worries is what we call it.

"I don’t have a plan for what I want to create": Bente Schlick on the feeling and spontaneity in her fantasy illustrations

Since this artwork has a very reduced colour palette, I pick two main colours for the characters and animals, and two for the background. From these base colours, I start mixing different shades without veering too far from them.

At this stage, I work on establishing the poses and dynamic of the characters, where they look, what their expressions are and how they interact. I also start getting an idea of the surrounding environment.

I start fine-tuning the details, in this case by working on the line art. Some artists begin with line art, but I prefer to establish the colours and overall idea first. Since the full image often develops during the process, I sometimes add the line art later.
