VALORANT: .SYS
Designed for Episode 4 Act 3. Originally inspired by the shape language of the storm trooper helmets from New Order these eventually turned into a thematic evolution of the .exe series that we did for the Ignition act 1 battlepass. It was a blast to really push some of the weird negative shape cutouts on these weapons while maintaining their iconic shape reads. This was also the first time I got to create designs for the sheriff and stinger which was a lot of fun!
This was a great team effort in collaboration with our Associate Art Director Sean Marino and with our amazing OS team who worked with our external partners to bring these to life: Jiaqing Qiang, Joel Kittle, Hayley Coneill, Sammi Pedregon and Hyejin Kang

The phantom design made it all the way to the end of concepting before it was decided to propagate the full line and that it wasn't going to be part of the collection sadly.
The first sketches for this line before it was decided we weren't going to do a carbine for it.
