shadow of war

2016 – MONOLITH GAMES / WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT

We’ve been given the opportunity to create elaborate environments for the sequel of the well-known game “Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor”.

The team at Monolith gave us great artistic freedom to visualize the vision for each tribe and location. During the project, we focused on research for all the various times of the day (e.g. golden hour) and to capture as much of the characteristics as possible within the scene. Taking into account weather effects, tribe societies and simply displaying daily routines as ordinary orc.
