Apex Legends - Season 22 Teasers - Shockwave - Promotional Artworks

„Why couldn’t the Rifts take my Ex instead?
I just bought that furniture...😒“

Excited to share the full artwork that Apex Legends asked me to do.
The idea was simple:
She lost her high-tier expensive furniture to the Rifts & is not happy about it.
As it was supposed to be a social media post, in the Apex world, we found it most fitting to go with a selfie.
I pitched the idea of an expensive looking rooftop pool and the Rift in the bg sucking up the furniture.
Rifts effect everybody.

So I went ahead and made a 3D concept to show to Apex.
3D is great way to quickly get the idea across and make adjustments to angles/perspectives/posing BEFORE getting to it.
Next, character design, which you can find in another post.
——
After the 3d concept was approved and angle setting got green lit I went ahead and sketched over it.
I did several adjustments to her anatomy aling the way cause the perspectives…well some things into view 😆
——
Next challenge: giving her a fittingly annoyed and sassy facial expression. at the end 😒+🙄 fit the best.

(That’s also literally me when someone accuses me of using ai [and there many out there apparently])
——
Overall I think I spent more than 20 hours on this artwork and learned a great ton.
Getting the Rift right has been quite the challenge.
Additionally I upped my render game ✨
——
Incredibly thankful for this opportunity to bring this idea to life and have Apex‘ trust for doing it right🙇🏻‍♂️
