I was responsible for the final quality, lighting, and materials of all the collectible relics in the game. Models were outsourced, and materials were redone by me using our tileable texture library. These are a few samples of my favorites.

All the art I did for Rise of the Tomb Raider was a collaborative effort by the amazing team at Crystal Dynamics. We all chip in to almost every area of the game, and share content across all the levels, so the entire team deserves big thanks for the art in my portfolio.
