As with previous expansions for FH3, I had the chance to lead this first expansion for Forza Horizon 4 as a solo Art Director.
The main challenge was to design our biggest expansion to date while supporting 4 distinct seasons within the same time frame as previous expansions!
The island is inspired by multiple locations off the coast of Scotland, including the Isle of Skye, Saint Kilda Archipelago, and even a bit of Iceland!
To support the idea of landing on a "hostile and treacherous island", we've created an omnipresent "teeth-like" shape language which you can never escape: it's repeated everywhere from the peak, to the coast with Viking shipwrecks, old larch forest, abandoned spires, and rock formations.
Congrats to our amazing Art team who put their hearts and souls into it!
