Post-Apocalyptic York Station, Toronto ( Game Environment)
Before I decided to switch careers, I used to work in IT. One the many awesome jobs I held during that time was as a Genius at the Yorkdale Mall Apple Store. I saw Yorkdale TTC station day in and day out, everyday for 5 years, and it was one of the favorite parts of my day. I wanted honor that mememory by...turning it into a post-apocalyptic quest hub ( I was also into games like Fallout at the time).
I wanted the scene to feel grounded and functional and I wanted to use natural light in order to create a sence of "old" and abandoned.
This is also the moment I felt inlove with reusing assets withing scenes. Not only is good at a technical level ( less assets = better performances in video games) but it also helps to creates a cohesive shape language that brings the scene together.

The subway cart is modular, so it can be repurposed to create variations
