ART DIRECTION
CHROME's visuals had some style direction when I was brought on the team. My responsibility was to refine the existing direction and help bring the project to completion. This included reviewing and adding reference, producing a style guide, edits to previously contracted artwork, art layout, and contracting an artist for remaining artwork.
The pages here are some of my favorite in the app.

KEYART
A handful of new assets were needed to finish the project including CHROME's keyart and loadout images. Tano Bonfonti was contracted for these images and did a wonderful job. Below are some materials and feedback prepared for these assignments.

The second assignment was the loadout images. These illustrate the player's role on a team, independent of their background or history.
