Brazilian artist Rafael Grassetti is a talented kid. Weāve already seen his amazing work on the Mass Effect universe, from sculptures to fan art, but today weāre looking at his more professional output.
Grassetti has been working as a video game artist for a few years now, mostly as a freelancer on games such as The Witcher 2, Dawn of War 2 and Fable III.
Unlike most other artists we showcase here on Fine Art, though, his work is of a more rendered nature, as heās mostly done character art for cinematic sequences (intros, cutscenes, etc) and advertising material. As such, a lot of material in the gallery above consists of trailers heās worked on; remember theyāre the work of many, not just one man!
Oh, and if you liked his Mass Effect work, well, youāre not alone; last month Grassetti was hired by series developers BioWare, where heāll be working on the Mass Effect universe as a senior character artist.
What, you didnāt think theyād stop at just three Mass Effect games, did you?
