"Atticus descends from an ancient bloodline of lightning wielders going back over a thousand years. Rigorously trained in the arts of war from a very young age, Atticus became a battlefield prodigy and a famous war hero. But when Highguard suddenly returned, his ailing father, then on his deathbed, presented him with a strange heirloom key capable of opening a secret place on the continent."

Atticus's design went through a few iterations throughout his development process. Jeremy Jodoin was responsible for his first version handling Atticus's main clothing, gear and his spear weapon assets, while I assisted with the face and hair portions, taking it to final.
Atticus's changes throughout was not as dramatic as that of Condor, but one important aspect we aimed to achieve is the strength aspect his character needs to convey while keeping the athletic and agile characteristics. We worked closely with Animation director Shawn Wilson to finetune his shape read each iterations carefully balancing the size, proportions and shapes of his armor and clothing.

It is also my privilege and absolute pleasure collaborating with Blur Studio in the development for his character model used in the cinematic trailers. I've attached a screenshot of a paint over for his character head model as part of the back and forth during that time.
