Smurfs Kart

I worked as an Art director on the Smurfs kart video game. It was released in November 2022 on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC.

I made the first kart myself in order to find the right style and defined the right degree of stylization in the proportions, shapes, materials and level of details. It was a lot of fun doing the sculpt, modeling and texturing. This is the in game model rendered in Substance Painter and the ZBrush sculpt rendered in Keyshot.

I had a great pleasure working on the concepts with David Alvarez, trying to bring something new in the Smurfs universe and trying to express the unique personality and function of each iconic character through unique designs as well as sticking to the Peyo graphic style. I'm very satisfied with the result of the 14 karts produced by the art team who did a great job! Special thanks to Jérôme Cros, Enzo Borne and Alex Ryan.
