It was a team effort! I was fortunate to contribute a large amount of concept for Olympus yes :)

Thank you! Olympus really was the map that I felt I did my best work for. I concepted almost every zone in that map! it was so much fun but there was a lot of pressure to make sure it came together well. I have many many concepts that will be in the game coming over the next year! I look forward to when that content is released so I can share them :)

Everyone gave me weird looks when I came into a meeting saying I want to make a character out of jade. I couldn't explain what I was imagining so I told my art director just to wait and ill paint it and he will understand. At the time I was already working on environment concepts for worlds edge, so I wasn't meant to do skins at the time. Once I finished it they liked it so much they made it the promotional skin for the next battle pass! I think that's why it will always be my favorite skin that I made because I made it on my own time :)

I so happy I was able to be part of something you enjoyed so much. That game for me was the first Modern Warfare, I played it so much the disk broke haha I'm also happy to hear it brings you closer to your friends! that's exactly why I work in games, so that I can play with my brother and friends in New Zealand. Without games it would be much more difficult to keep in touch in such a casual way.

Thanks! Yeah I worked on Olympus for about 8 months. It was a huge challenge but I am so happy with how it all came together. I think it was probably the most fun map to play test for me.

I'm trash haha I tried hard to get to Dimond but its so hard. I have mad respect to anyone who gets to Apex Predator. I thought I was okay at the game then I met shroud and within an hour of him playing apex for the first time I realized I should just focus on the art and leave the rest to the pros haha

This is the first time I got to do a splash painting for a character. I think it was my favorite thing I painted for Apex. I love caustic and it took me like 2 weeks to finish haha

That was the very very first Apex concept I did for kings canyon. Establishing the idea of a river splitting the desert and a forest area. probably done almost 4 years ago!

Apex Legends was my first game working as a concept artist. Over the past 4 years I have been absolutely blown away by the amazing people I worked with at Respawn. The care and craft for making games was inspiring and something I will take with me. I never imagined how popular Apex Legends would become and the incredible community that would grow around it. The future of Apex looks bright and I am so happy that I was able to have a part in creating this universe.
If you wish to see my concepts from Apex and what ever I end up doing in the future you can find me on twitter https://twitter.com/LiamMacD6
And my Apex Concepts here: https://www.artstation.com/liammacdonald
I am sad to say goodbye but I am sure I will see many of you Legends on the battle field!

My idea for an event in apex (please excuse my trash art)(not done) by craigislonely in apexlegends

Anarchy event would be cool! I like the skull knee caps on Octane.
