Ghostrunner

Client: All In Games / One More Level

Main Hero Redesign,
Cover Art, Branding

Ghostrunner was a brand that we fell in love with from the very first moment.

We thought about it holistically and were given a lot of creative freedom. This gave us an opportunity to suggest some critical features for the main character, create the graphic language
and make the whole product consistent and strong.

Bold color choices and detailed character
work catch your eye in a matter of a moment.

We love the outcome
and are very proud to be
able to present it to You.

Dying 2 Know

We would like to present to you a project that we are hyped about, very much – the first episode of Dying 2 Know.

From Techland, a worldwide AAA game developer and publisher, officially launching their long awaited campaign for Dying Light 2. At the Beast, we created branding designs and animations (2D & 3D) based on materials provided from Techland, which included 2D main titles or the 3D Collector’s Edition presentation made in Unreal Engine.

Special thanks to everyone at Techland for this amazing cooperation and creative imput, it’s always a pleasure to work with you. We would also like to express gratitude to our hard working teams who worked on this project, as well as the fearless director Pawel Fabjanski.

Paradise Lost –
Family Totem

Client: All In Games / Polyamorous

Paradise Lost
Concept, 3D, Slogan,
Logo, Post Production


We came up with the idea of a Totem triptych to highlight the extraordinary backstory of the game.

Its impressive world, constructed with a vast historic background and varied characters, inspired us to enchant parts of their stories into the totems.

The Family Totem was the most emotional, not surprisingly.
It confronted the main hero with his past and loneliness. Setting
a slight tone of mystery around his parents and religion, and a dim light of hope.

We wanted to combine the energy of nature with the grand rituals nestled in our history created by man. Showing how the emotional world and memory itself can impact human lives.

We are also very proud
to present this unique
Key Art piece.

Paradise Lost –
Bunker Totem

Client: All In Games / Polyamorous

Paradise Lost
Concept, 3D, Slogan,
Logo, Post Production


We came up with the idea of a Totem triptych to highlight the extraordinary backstory of the game.

Its impressive world, constructed with a vast historic background and varied characters, inspired us to enchant parts of their stories into the totems.

The Bunker was to be poetic yet scary. It was supposed
to combine the sheer feeling of loneliness with the history
of the bunker’s creation.

It was supposed to bring hope and mystery. The whole team loved the challenge very much, bringing the atmosphere of the post apocalyptic world to life was a wonderful adventure.

The game’s strikingly deep storyline brought in so many inspirations, that the whole task was just about cutting the content and making the communication more symbolic.

Paradise Lost –
War Totem

Client: All In Games / Polyamorous

Paradise Lost
Concept, 3D, Slogan,
Logo, Post Production


We came up with the idea of a Totem triptych to highlight the extraordinary backstory of the game.

Its impressive world, constructed with a vast historic background and varied characters, inspired us to enchant parts of their stories into the totems.

The War totem was supposed to confront the main hero with the visceral drama of war. Not only focusing on the damages, but also on the propaganda, the whole spectrum of life around it.

The task was very demanding and required a lot of balancing, but hopefully we managed to bring in the correct mood and an extra special thrill.

We are very proud
to present this unique
piece of art to You.

Dying Light:
Hellraid – The Prisoner

Client: Techland

Cinematic Trailer

Techland approached us to create a dark fantasy-style animation illustrated by hand where the story flows through custom-made spilled ink effects and multiple layers.

The inspiration was Diablo III and certain
aspects of the Ghost of Tsushima game.

The result is a monochromatic tale about Anat’s
evil plans and the characters that try to stand in her fiery way.

A deep narration and custom composed music assist with portraying despair.

Alivia

Client: Alivia Cancer Foundation

Digital Key Visual

We were asked to prepare additional Key Visual 3D renders for a digital campaign for the Alivia Cancer Foundation.

Cancer, as a whole, is a very important topic for us and we jumped at the opportunity to help. We prepared 3 new character poses based on clients materials.

The art was meant to work in digital formats and bring a little variety to the table.

It was a pleasure to work with Alivia again and we sincerely wish them the best of luck! We are on Your side in this war!

Paradise Lost

Client: All In Games / Polyamorous

Branding, Cover Art, Logo

The task was to reveal the incredible mood and history
of the Paradise Lost Game in a gripping communication,
starting with Keyart and finishing on the Trailer.

As a strategy arc, we created the slogan “Last Story on Earth”. It assisted in conveying the mood of the game and its premise in an elegant way.

The outcome was an amazing art about
the age-old story of loneliness at the dawn of time.

The story of the last boy in existence, seeking his roots and the last hope for humanity.

Paradise Lost

Client: All In Games / Polyamorous

Cinematic Trailer

From the Creative perspective, adding parts to such a huge, well written story arc is always a challenge.

The need to stay consistent, not to reveal too much,
but also to raise interest is always a difficult balance.

Thankfully, the game’s vibrant world made it easier for us, due to its unique character and impressive historic background. We are very proud of the outcome and hope it is a good invitation to the mysterious world of Paradise Lost.

All of us at The Beast invite you to play.’- says Rafał Nagiecki, The BEAST Creative Director.
