Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground

Role: Director of Character Art

I led character art direction for original characters in the Battle Pass, Item Shop, and Crew for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground. I defined the visual direction and directed the development of all original characters, working across concept, modeling, materials, tech animation, tech art, VFX, and marketing to deliver final in game assets.

I did not personally create the character assets.

The season introduced a new chapter set on a European inspired island, centered around the conflict between a powerful crime syndicate known as the Society and a scrappy group of rebels from the Underground. The character lineup was designed to reflect this clash. Balancing refined, high status villainy with improvised, rebellious heroism.

All character art was created by the Epic Games team.
