All artwork in the “My Art Direction” section of my website was art directed or created by Emmanuel Valdez in collaboration with some of the finest artists in the industry. This section of the website will provide insights into my art direction style and philosophies. The process of developing a vision for the visuals of a videogame involves a ton of exploration, experimentation, and close collaboration with the game design and engineering departments. Goals are established that align all departments, executives, directors, and publisher expectations but ultimately the main goal is to deliver visuals that will immerse, inspire, and entertain our players.
The Robot Invaders are the scourge that plague the world of LEGO 2K Drive, appearing in a series of mini-games. There are several classes of Robot Invader minions, including ground troops, bomb carriers, mobile cannons, and flying cannons. Here are the concepts I constructed in LEGO Digital Designer using real bricks.
