Hogwarts Legacy - Archie's Fort

I had the amazing honor of working on Hogwarts Legacy as an Environment Artist while at Certain Affinity. My role was world-building, so all of the assets in these screenshots were created by the talented Environment Art team at Avalanche. I got onto the level at the first pass art stage and was responsible for set dressing, terrain painting/sculpting, foliage placement, decal placement, spline placement, working with designers and narrative to implement gameplay and story elements, and working with other artists to bring the level to final polish. These screenshots are all from one of my areas, a portion of the open world called "Lower Hogsfield" right outside of Hogwarts castle. This hideaway fort was constructed in the forest (nearby the hamlet) by a young kid named Archie. As part of a mission you play through, it gets ransacked by poachers looking for Archie, which is why it's in disarray.
A huge thank you to my lead Ray Arriaga, and to the team at Avalanche Software for doing a fantastic job on bringing everything together beautifully. I'm so thrilled that I had the opportunity to be part of such an amazing dream project!
