#DardoStudios Internal Challenge! 🔥
Here's a look back at when we challenged ourselves to create a #Borderlands character. Take a glimpse at some character sheets, models, as well as some little animal friends 🐓

Concepts - Daniel Orive
Models - Rodrigo Reis
Character Sheets - Nicolas Amarilla

When at #Blizzard working on #Hearthstone, Dardo’s Daniel Orive contributed #ConceptArt that inspired the game’s illustrations. He created the legendary piece of #QueenAzshara for the Voyage to the Sunken City Set, which is also the hero portrait in Battlegrounds mode.

Personal Project: Paper Boat by Ed Laag

A project close to the heart for #DardoStudios Art Lead, Ed. Paper Boat is an in-dev coming of age story of a young man and his band of misfits, born within a rich island culture, coming together to repel an invading corporation.

Before #DardoStudios, Daniel Orive was part of a startup called HitShift, where he played a key role on Project Rebel. He focused on tests, reusing assets & marketplace resources to aid a fast pipeline. This allowed the team to pitch without depleting limited resources that startups face 🙌

#LeagueOfLegends - Neeko 🦎

This is Dardo’s contribution to Fantastic Pixel Castle’s upcoming MMORPG, codenamed “Ghost”. Lead by Dardo's Patrick Faulwetter, our team collaborated with FPC on environments, creatures, plants, & the maps for each location 🗺️

In this thread you can see some early explorations by Dani and Ayran to illustrate the initial vision.

Next week in this series, we’ll discuss influences, the role music played in that evolution, and how the team pivoted from Urban Fantasy to Pop Fantasy. /end
