Frostwraith

For our MA Game Art Group Project at Escape Studios, we were tasked with creating a fully navigable first-person DLC Environment in Unreal Engine 5, inspired by the worlds of Frostpunk and Snowpiercer. The result was Frostwraith: a three-carriage steam powered train cutting through a frozen wasteland. Each carriage was designed with a unique purpose - the engine carriage, the expeditions carriage, and the permaculture carriage.

Over 12 weeks, I worked as a Prop and Environment Artist, focusing primarily on the engine carriage. I was responsible for its initial blockout, helping to define the playable space and flow of the level, before moving on to more detailed environment work. Primarily working on the pipe layouts and set dressing the main area of the carriage with props. I also created one of the hero props, the elevator. Ensuring it functioned as an interactive element within the level.

Beyond these key tasks, I collaborated closely with the art directors and producers to maintain consistency across assets and visual design, ensuring my work aligned with the established art direction.

I feel lucky and proud to have been part of this project with the incredible Frostrwraith Crew. The team include:
