Project Overview

Smallville is an environment built for the Man of Steel mobile game — a movie tie-in developed by Phosphor Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment alongside the 2013 Man of Steel film. The Smallville map recreates the iconic Kansas farm and town setting from the movie, giving mobile players an environment they instantly recognize from the film's most memorable set pieces.

Role

As Environment Artist on Smallville, I contributed to look development, lighting, atmosphere, modeling and texturing, and set dressing across the map. My work focused on translating the Kansas rural aesthetic of the Man of Steel film to a stylized, performant mobile environment — capturing the specific golden-hour light, cornfields, and iconic farmhouse silhouettes that make Smallville instantly readable.

Key Contributions
