Gears of War 4 Art Dump

Hey guys!

(man, it’s been so long, awesome to be back here :))

My name is Daniel Bohrer, I work at The Coalition as a character artist and I’m going to post some of the work I did for Gears of War 4 in this thread and the rest of the character team will probably join the bandwagon and post their stuff too, so it’s all together.

First, I’d like to leave a big thank you to the rest of the character team at the Coalition (Heebs, Dan, Michelle and Shifally). You guys are the best team I’ve ever worked with!

Here we go:

Hey everyone… my name’s Dan Roarty… I was fortunate enough to be the Lead Character Artist on Gears 4.
1st off… I just wanna say how amazing it was working with such a rad and talented Character Team! Honestly… had an absolute blast and I’m so proud and inspired by the awesomeness of the entire team around me. Thanks very much everyone!!!
Also a big thanks to the entire Coalition team as a whole! such a wonderful group of individuals… It really takes everyone on the teams hard work to showcase these characters so a big thanks!

One of the characters I worked on was ‘Oscar Diaz’. Awesome concept by Goran Bukvic and I teamed up with the talented Daniel Bohrer do Nascimento to do a final material/texture pass. Art directed by Kirk Gibbons.
This was the 1st character I sculpted in Zbrush (currently transitioning) so big thanks to the character guys for the tips and tricks!
