Hi! My name is Ayi Sánchez and I do game art for a living. For the past 13 years I have been lucky enough to work on games like Castlevania, Gears of War, Wolfenstein and more to come!

Very happy to say that I am just a "week something" away from starting at Valve. 25 years ago I wouldn't belive this myself. Looking forward to working again with some old friends and incredible new ones. Thanks for all the help in the process, you know who you guys are 😉🤎

@jlmonnet During Wolfenstein 2 we spent so much time putting pipes in the game, that we had the joke that after 1 week doing it, you could get the plumber certificate. It is a weird realization to think about the amount of hours putting pipes in games. So silly but yet so satisfiying.

These are blockouts of an area that never made it to the final version of Wolf2. You enter the exterior of the Ausmerzer through the side of the wing, that lead to a landing stripe for Hortons. Even if things dnt make later, its always good to try to represent the spaces nicely.

1/3 More blockout vs final. This was probably one of my favorite things to work during Youngblood. Did it at the end of the project. All art was done in 3 weeks, trying to be as smart as possible. Sophie Innes did the security point and the the molecular models, she is superb <3
