ARC Raiders - Character Concept Art

During the early days of the project, between 2019 and 2021 before the game pivot, I spent part of my time developing the designs for our characters.Much of the inspiration came from late ’70s and ’80s fashion design, utilitarian tech from the Cold War era, and a layer of tinkered post-apocalyptic styling with bold colors and memorable silhouettes.As with the rest of the game’s art direction, we wanted to inject a strong sense of retro-futurism into our character designs.

A selection of my personal favorites from probably over hundred character concepts I did for the game!
