I joined The Coalition to help finish and ship Gears 5 and Gears Tactics, as the studio was completing production and moving into post-production. I authored key art for launch and live-service art across the Gears franchise (Gears 5, Gears Tactics and Gears Pop!), supporting continuous live-ops seasonal campaigns.
- Created illustrations for box art, the art book and marketing launch materials: custom scenes built using Gears character assets.
- Coordinated and directed live-ops artists, providing feedback and technical support.
- Used Unreal 4 extensively to build in-game illustrations and key art (animation, lighting, VFX and in-engine work), taking briefs from storyboard to final.
