Richard Diamant, the Lead Character Artist behind Naughty Dog’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, has posted some of his work for the game on his website. We at Ripten.com would love to share them with you, because he’s a talented guy, and the character models that ended up in the game are some of the best we’ve ever seen. Make sure to come back for our review of Uncharted, which will be up later today.

The coloured images are the ingame versions of the characters, apart from the bald model of Navorro which is a high poly model in ZBrush with poly paint. The rest are ZBrush models. Please click on the images to see them larger, and then click the green arrow below to see them in High-Resolution.

Nathan Drake

Elena Fisher

Navarro

The Mummy

Our thanks go to Richard Diamant.
