Senior Lighting Artist

Kevin Nally

I’m a Senior Lighting Artist coming from Splash Damage where I worked on Project Astrid. I also worked at Codemasters as well as in Game Art Education where I helped final year Game Artists get ready to get into the industry. The first game I worked on was the Formula One series as an environment artist. My top childhood game was Zelda: Majora’s Mask/Final Fantasy 10 and the worst game boss has to be the Guardian Ape from Sekiro after you ring the bell and accidentally activate hard mode!

Q

What was the game that triggered you looking at games as a career?

Answer
I took a roundabout route to get into games as there was never a Games Art course when I started studying so I don’t know if there is one specific game that was the trigger point. I really enjoyed reading about the development side of Games growing up. If I had to name one, maybe Journey or Flower by ThatGameCompany because it had such a strong artistic identity and polish by such a small team.

Zelda, God Of War, Ghost Of Tsushima
