The Last of Us Part 2 - NPC heads

These are some of the NPC heads I worked on for various factions. Some of the outfits were put together by other character artists. Most of the hair here was done by other character artists which I specify by name since hair is a lot of work!

Heads all started from scans and then were adjusted as needed. A lot of these people were scans of co workers which made them fun to work on. :) Also super awkward to kill them in game. lol

Thank you to Soa Lee and Frank Tzeng for the feedback as I worked on these! I remember other character artists providing some helpful tips here and there as well, so a thank you to them too!

Also want to mention our outsource vendors who provide us with our first passes on all the outfits! It saves us so much time, particularly for NPCs, since once they do their pass, we are able to just slightly modify, texture and shade these outfits and then slap some variations together! We worked with Virtuos and OF3D for the most part.

Again, want to thank our character concept team, they provide some great style guides for each faction. They did a great job distinguishing each region!
