War of Realms Art Direction

This is one of the projects I'm most proud of in my career.

It was a longtime dream to develop a D&D miniature line for 3D Printing.

I've started selecting a group of classses and references, defined color palettes for each category of miniatures (elves, dwarves, angels, archangels, orcs...). After that I hired a concept artist to create 140 unique character designs.

This pre-production took around one year, managing during my free time.

In 2021, I went to work from home because of covid and decided to use that extra time to put the project on the map. I hired a small group of sculptors, to develop the first 10 pieces. With those done, I've created illustrations for each of character and some of the terrain - then I started creating the campaign on Kickstarter.

I've created (and voiced! haha) the cinematic for the project launch on kickstarter and it went BOOM!

Project went to 300% funding, very good sales. So in Septbember 2021 I've started the 3D Production. I've hired another team of 15 artists to develop the character sculpts and I've been art directing them for almost an year.

Now the production is done! I'm starting the 3d printing process for all the pieces and delivering the STLs models to all the clients.

It was an AWESOME experience, to conceive a WHOLE project, from the ground up, and make it a reality.
