007 First Light key art featuring James Bond — 007 First Light Art Blast key art

About the work.

A white tuxedo, a quiet jungle bungalow and a glowing chamber offer different views of the world of 007 First Light. IO Interactive's Art Blast brings together the people behind its characters, places, lighting, cinematics and props.

The selection moves from Bond's character art to concept work and richly detailed environments. Each image retains its original frame and credits the artist named in the Art Blast.

The art directors describe a team developing facial animation and clothing detail while adapting environments for action sequences. The embedded videos were shared in the original ArtStation feature.
