Skimmers
This section walks through my creative process for Skimmers, starting with reference gathering and shape language definition, moving into 3D form development, and culminating in refined renders. It demonstrates how I direct inspiration into a structured workflow, producing polished visuals that guide cross-disciplinary teams and reinforce a unified creative vision.

I begin my creative process by gathering reference material that anchors the work in Destiny’s aesthetic and brand language. I analyze shape language and silhouettes, integrating design requirements and visual guidelines from the outset. Details such as panel breaks, chamfer profiles, fastener logic, and emissives are studied and applied with intent, ensuring every design feels authentic, functional, and consistent within the universe.

In this phase, I generate and iterate on sketches, building on the strongest ideas to refine silhouettes and gameplay readability. By sharpening details and composition, I clarify intent and provide a clear framework that guides the team toward a cohesive, unified vision.

Once the design direction is defined, I direct the exploration of color schemes that enhance player readability while reinforcing mood, atmosphere, and narrative. By guiding how color and texture work together, I ensure the concept not only comes to life visually but also strengthens the player’s connection to the Destiny universe.

Next, I build a rough 3D model in Blender as a reality check for proportions, edge discipline, and sightlines, ensuring the concept translates seamlessly into three-dimensional space. This stage allows me to test scale and lighting early, align teams on feasibility, and prepare the design for a smooth handoff into production.

In the final stage, I apply material logic, surface wear, and density refinements before rendering the design at full fidelity. These polished visuals sharpen the race-car qualities of the concept and provide production teams with a clear, authentic blueprint that fits cohesively within the franchise’s established aesthetic.
