Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Art by Per Haagensen | #105

Per Haagensen is an industry veteran when it comes to videogame concept art, we have some of the Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Art he had created whilst working on the project at DICE Sweden. Per has previously worked with studios such as Warner Bros, Blizzard and Funcom throughout the years on titles like Age of Conan, The Dark Knight Rises and even World of Warcraft.

A few years ago however he had made the jump to DICE Sweden working as a Senior Concept Artist and is also in the role of Character Art Director for the studio too.

You may have recognized some of the work below, at-least the characters in an earlier article we had made this week which had taken a look at the work of Sanna Nivhede, a character artist who also works at DICE Sweden and has been sharing her work she had done. You can check out that article here and also take a jump on over to Per Haagensen’s portfolio if you’d like too!

I was responsible for creating the character and aircrafts – using Zbrush, Keyshot and Photoshop.

For the head I referenced the excellent in-game head sculpture done in collaboration with the character artists at DICE (Linus Hamilton in particular), and a 3d headscan done inhouse of a photomodel doing the expression.

Props also to Liza Shulyayeva for performing the pose, providing me with great photo reference. Background city done by concept artists Nick Leavy (city modeler / architect) and Robert Sammelin (city detail pass, matte painting and compositor).
