I was brought on to create illustrations for the Slugterra: Slug It Out 2 social media channels. The challenge was that the characters had been redesigned by Slugterra to be highly optimized for landscape mobile gameplay. While they look great in motion, those simplified models felt a bit flat when used as a still image. I decided to render them out in higher detail for these specific social posts, giving them rim lighting, shadows, and redrawing a lot of the backgrounds to give them more depth. Adding that extra detail and lighting gave the characters more focus when they aren't moving on screen
