Gotham Knights: Court of Owls Key Art

No one talks about them. Not a whispered word is said.

The Court of Owls is a secret society that has controlled Gotham City almost since its founding, acting as a major villain in Gotham Knights game. Comprised of members of the oldest and wealthiest families in the city’s history, they are a backbone that’s been shaping Gotham’s history, controlling the flow of wealth and industry for more than two centuries.

After having collaborated with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment on the main key art piece with all four hero orphans from the Gotham Knights game, Reservoir did it again!

The team was contacted by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, urgently looking for a reliable partner to produce a piece of key art in a very short amount of time. A concept was produced for a required piece of key art for the Court of Owls, but there were only 4 weeks remaining for the production of the piece.

Having worked with WBIE and Warner Bros Games Montreal, Reservoir flipped every stone to make this complex situation a possibility.

WBGM and Reservoir teamed up and worked closely together to make sure that all characters and assets were optimized, laid out, shaded and textured and outputted at their best so all efforts in the (too) short amount of time available would be invested in the digital matte painting, compositing and 2D work.

In barely 2.5 weeks, everything went from rough layout to final assets and renderings, updated in multiple iterations, allowing the 2D team to start the work concurrently.

With the precious and tight partnership with Warner Bros Games Montreal, Reservoir was able to respond to the urgency of the mandate and deliver the piece for the Court of Owls.
