The stunningly realised period locations of The Queen’s Gambit represent a significant part of what made the show so special. In this ArtStation deep dive, we reveal how our Rockwater Art Team brought them to mobile in The Queen’s Gambit Chess.
Spanning a plethora of interesting settings, from grungy janitor basements and pristine 60s homes to flashy Vegas hotels and grand Moscow halls, The Queen’s Gambit’s environments were a real joy for our art team to recreate.
