Genki Force is an anime themed program for Madden 25’s Ultimate Team. The designs were inspired by the funky and vibrant side of anime, such as art from Cowboy Bebop, Dan Da Dan, Mashle, Bleach, and more.
The LTD player cards received custom illustrations. I hand drew and rendered each player. Below is some insight to my process.

I wanted to focus on dynamic posing to play up the drama and intensity that is common in anime.
Nailed down the poses and planned out some of the details. Then created vector line art and some of the rendering. Finished in Photoshop for the final detailed execution.
