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.
S.T.U.D. (Super Tiny Utility Droid) is your friendly robot helper in LEGO 2K Drive, assisting you during the onboarding experience and throughout the game. The following concepts were built in LEGO Digital Designer. The goal was to create a friendly, jovial robot that is expressive and has charm and appeal for players
Final, approved design for S.T.U.D.
