Overview
Taking a toon shaded style approach - we continued the expand on the post-apocalyptic free for all from the LCQ 2021 campaign - with a race through a twisted hellish city where out ominous champions watch from afar on top of their throne.

The Wasteland
My job was to set the look and feel of the project. I explored rendering style including seeing how far the toon shading could be pushed within C4D at the time. I used Octane Render for these design frames as I felt it had stronger capabilities (this was before Redshift updates to their toon shading). We had a bit of fun with the Dalí-esque cityscape, where we built out a whimsically distorted melty wasteland with twisted buildings. It offered the perfect setting for the band of psychopaths to traverse as they attempt to claw their way to victory.
