The Legacy of Cthulhu - Cthulhu

At Intr Studio, I’ve had the pleasure of working as Lead Artist on projects like this Lovecraftian Fortnite experience; overseeing art direction, mentoring the team, and establishing core asset workflows critical to production.

The project is a Lovecraftian-inspired custom map built in UEFN, designed to sit comfortably within Fortnite’s established art style while introducing a darker, cosmic-horror twist. It features a custom cast of characters, including original takes on Cthulhu and Shoggoth, alongside modular environments and weapons, all built with optimisation, scalability, and clean UEFN integration in mind.

I led and supported a team of four junior and associate artists across the full production pipeline, while staying hands-on with character creation, environment art, materials, shaders, and final polish to keep everything visually cohesive and technically solid.

Tech Details:

High-to-low poly workflow · Custom rigging · UV mapping · Procedural & hand-painted texturing · Custom channel-packed texture sets · Fortnite-ready in-engine shaders ·

• Sculpts in ZBrush
• Modelling + Rigging in Maya
• UVs in RizomUV
• Textures in Substance Painter
• Finalisation & Shaders in UEFN

The project was later showcased as part of a live presentation at Unreal Fest – Gold Coast 2024
