Preparation for Arcane Season 2 began almost 2 years out, and it was a collaborative pulling of not only graphic design work, but also illustrative work and model outputs from Fortiche that had to be touched up for marketing, packaging and POS use. For the graphic design studio working on the main style guide pieces, the focus was on creating assets that felt more “street” and hand-done, even though they had to be vectored. For the illustrations, I tapped Valentina Remenar to do some special portraits, and then finally worked with Fortiche and gave them direction on model outputs and posing with lighting, which were then touched up by Kudos Production.
