An early vertical slice cinematic. This version of Marcus used the first head I created.
Our initial fidelity and style target for characters. As main characters do, Marcus went through a lot more iterations after this one!
The second early look-dev target we created on the project. The wretch!
A shot of the one sheet created to drive material work on COG soldiers.
Cole was my favorite. His armor was the largest upgrade for the main cast, and his face got a substantial rework too.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
Marcus was the first character built for Ultimate, and the entire character team combined forces to create him. It was a great opportunity for us to collaborate on updating the character art for Gears and understanding some of the challenges we'd face. Taking one of the biggest franchises in gaming and modernizing it was a huge honor.
