Overwatch - Wuxing University

For Overwatch 2 Season 20, we were tasked to help bring Wuxing University across the finish line. This control point Stadium map centers on the training area for the water school, with schools for the other four elements featured in the backdrop.

For this map, I was tasked to create a backdrop vista featuring a futuristic dam and traditional architecture, as well as all the surrounding area, forests and rivers.

Mountain side, I was responsible for creating the distant forests and waterfalls and overall composition for this side of the backdrop. Buildings were done by David Fraaß.

Cliff side view of the backdrop, rock and bamboo tree assets were created by Marie Lazar and put together by me.

Contributed to finishing the ground, overall polish and detail pass.

Helped with set dressing as well.

Bonus cave set dressing visible from the spawn rooms.
