R.I.P Mike Nash, Guerilla's lead Designer on Horizon Zero Dawn

Recommended Posts

I'm very sad to learn that one of the world's most talented 3D digital artists and the man responsible for creating The Thunderjaw and the other iconic robotic creatures in Horizon: Zero Dawn, one of my favourite games, has passed away aged just 36. Mike Nash was best known and most revered for his work on HZD, but has had shown talent in creating beautiful, realistic, futuristic designs for many years.

The design of the machines in Horizon: Zero Dawn was such a huge part of the game's identity that it's impossible to understate just how critical Mike's work was to the game's success and a huge part of what we so loved about the game. It's a shame he won't see the last of his work published as part of Horizon: Forbidden West later this year and even sadder that's the last any of us will likely see of it.

 

Here's a Game Rant article on the story.

 

I thought I'd share some images of his designs as a little tribute. RIP.
