underdogs Posted September 7, 2021 Report Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Name: Miguel Nogueira Timezone: GMT+1 (UK/London/Lisbon) What I can do: I can concept design through artwork, including ideas, iterations, brainstorming, story research, level design and game design sketches, mood, aesthetics, and art direction in general. I also have experience working in graphic design, digital and traditional clay sculpting, and have knowledge of cinematography and multimedia tools. I have worked with a few indies and big studios alike, such as Frictional Games with Amnesia Rebirth, collaborated with Blink 182, Volta Studio, NetEase Games, acted as consultant and Art contest jury to AMD, to name a few. My work has been featured from news sites such as Kotaku to art communities such as Behance (character design category feature), CGSociety Hall of Fame, and Artstation Editor's picks. I'm currently working with a few studios under NDA material. If you have a project you'd like to start, I'd love to hear from you, reach out by email, as I'm currently booking the following available weeks in my schedule. I'll invite you to visit my website: https://www.menogcreative.com or my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/migno And drop me a line through hello@menogcreative.com Edited November 13, 2023 by underdogs updated social media links zombi 1 Quote

underdogs Posted November 29, 2023 Author Report Posted November 29, 2023 Haven't shared stuff like this before, but a big thank you to NetEase Games for inviting me to join this, I struggle to keep up with updates on projects I've worked on, but I do get around to it eventually! I hope I get to share the many concepts I've done for it sometime. zombi and +Rusty+ 2 Quote
underdogs Posted December 8, 2023 Author Report Posted December 8, 2023 here's some character design work for my old west personal IP. Tried to take geography in mind when approaching the designs and adjust them across other factors, like their economics, how well they do, and how often they travel. menogcreative.com for more Quote
underdogs Posted December 18, 2023 Author Report Posted December 18, 2023 Watch Trailer A few other IP’s give a concept artist more street-credit than to say they’ve worked on this one. Excited to share I’ve contributed to Season 4 of Battlefield 2042! While I wish I could have stayed longer on the project and didn’t have other commitments towards the end of the calendar, I managed to complete a massive amount of work for it. Unfortunately, I doubt any of that work will see the light of day due to the nature of the project. It was a true joy to work on it. I’m grateful for it. Quote

underdogs Posted April 18 Author Report Posted April 18 Many of my character concept art pieces include assets that I've rarely showcased individually. With my sci-fi character designs, most of them feature a robotic implant of some sort. Arms like these start from a free base mesh, a normal human arm, which I then sculpt on top by re-skinning it as hard-surface, and converting all the human joints, fingers, and bending parts into screws, pistons, and ball joints. Essentially, I re-imagine the human body as a machine. Find more behind-the-scenes shots and tutorials here: www.menogcreative.com/scifi-props Quote
underdogs Posted May 2 Author Report Posted May 2 Most of my creature designs rely on reference, even when I’m aiming for something completely original or fantastical. Using references helps me channel a specific mood, energy, or vibe into the creature, almost like casting the right actor for a role. It’s kind of a cheat code, one that helps make the creature more believable and avoids the trap of creating an “inside joke” only I would get. In these sci-fi designs, I pulled from insects, my own biases, and natural elements to form the biology of something alien.
