The Last of Us Part 2 - Joel

Hi Everyone, i am honored to be a lead character artist in "The Last of Us Part 2", it was the biggest game that we have ever created in the studio and i can for sure say that it was also the hardest one, the scale and the amount of the characters in the game required a huge amount of artists and team works to finish and pull it off, as an artist in Naughty Dog we always trying to push our limits and try to put every little details in the characters for players to see and feel.
I was responsible for both T1 and T2 Joel, however, it required a lot of artists to finish him as a in game character, from concept to 3d to rigging to animation and all.
He has different hairs, different outfits, different ages.... so please know that there are a lot of people behind this character, a huge thanks for all the amazing artists and has worked on this character, outsourcing company that did the scan clean up for clothing and retopo/UV, Ellie was done by Soa Lee, my awesome Co-lead in the team. Joel t1 hair first pass and his T1-hero shirt was done by Darcy from Sony SD and i finalized it after, T2 backpack was done by Nancy Cantu, T1-hospital shirt was done by Danny Garcia, the rest was me mostly, i was responsible for the final outcome of the character, finally a huge thanks for Soa Lee, Ashley and Neil for feedback and directions.
