Hey guys,
Here is a bunch of art work from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I'm trying to get as many people from work who want to post in this single thread. Some say they will add on to this thread at a later time.. so keep checking back! As of now, here is what I've done.
I am the Lead Character Artist over at Naughty Dog. I was mainly responsible for Nathan Drake, the main character. This meant all of his different outfits, dirt levels, scruff levels, etc.. I also worked on Chloe's head, the base for the shambalan soldier, and some random heads here and there. Drake took up a lot of my time

Anyway, hope you all enjoy! We are all very proud of our work on this game.

this is the shambalan soldier rendered in maya.


this is the shambalan soldier in zbrush


this is a render of the in game version of drake. I made this for promotional
material.


this is drake in maya. Its not the exact shaders used in game but a close approximation.


here is a closeup of drakes head in maya


here is drake in zbrush. all the fine details, cloth details, were added as a bump map afterwards.


this is drake's parka in zbrush


this is the textured in game version in maya


this is an in game render of Chloe for promotional material. I was only responsible for her head. Her body was made by Hanno Hagedorn


this is Chloe's model in zbrush


this is the in game Maya version of Chloe's head


this is an old man I made in about a day. We had to quickly redo some work very last minute. He was used in the village


same deal as the old man but a village woman




so thats more or less it. I have some more images, wireframes, etc on my website if you guys want to check it out.. Also higher resolution images on on my web site of each image here.. check it out!

This is so awesome!! I just got the game yesterday and was so pumped and inspired at work today i looked for some of the characters online and ended seeing all this on your website. anyways the characters look amazing everything from the perfect hair alpha plane setup to the clothes looking aged and worn out. A new benchmark for characters in games for sure, congrats on all the success and hope to see another Uncharted soon!!

Man this game and Metal Gear 4 are the only reasons I even contemplate buying a PS3. Love the work here. Keep it up!

There are many more reasons to get a ps3 for. Mgs 4 was also one of the reasons for me to buy a ps3, but in the end I was sorely disappointed. It's almost as if there is no soul in that game. it feels soo stale.

On the other hand, Uncharted 1 and 2 are perfect examples of games with a ton of charm. Same with heavenly sword. I love games that have a lot of charm.

great work here guys. Really top quality stuff.

Wow nice work, me and my brother loved the game is definitely one of best of PS3, maybe best alongside MGS4! Great work!

Yeah like you DAnconia and Ambient Whisper, MGS4 was main reason to buy MGS4, and while it was a great game with some great gameplay, cinematics and moments, I did also strangely feel a lack of a soul in MGS4 like you said Ambient Whisper, the soul which was strongly there however in MGS1 and 2.

Uncharted is not as deep as MGS but is great fun, adventurous, has great soul and charm like you said, and also is of great cinematic quality!

Well done for bringing this game to life with your art guys, it's all topnotch!

Hey guys,

My name is Bryan Wynia and I'm a Character Artist at Naughty Dog. I wanted to share some of the art I created for Uncharted 2. It has been an amazing experience working on this project. I wanted to say a BIG thanks to the entire character team Rich Diamant, Hanno Hagedorn, Darcy Korch, Corey Johnson, Judd Simantov, and Ryan Trowbridge.

This sull was created for a cinematic sequence.

Wow, you really have some talent. Your anatomy is spot on! No wonder Uncharted 2 looks so good..

I have a few questions if you don't mind answering whatever you can. Could you possibly show us some of your work flow? Do you texture your high poly models before you project them on to a low poly?? Is all of your hair done in Zbrush as well? Is your skin SSS or is it just a texture map?

Congrats on a job well done. The shambalan soldier is my favorite!

Thanks for the awesome post!
