Wayside Character Sheets

Previous client returned for some slick new character sheets. Designed the updated looks from the previous uniforms a couple years ago. Had fun with these, full turnarounds and expressions. I think the design language of the game may finally be finding its stride. Some exploration here with these raster looks as opposed to the previous vector work the client expressed interest in.

Keepers of the Kingdom Promo

Just wrapped up production on my promotional film for AiG’s Keeper’s of the Kingdom VBS. Was given the opportunity to craft this promo just about on my own over a three week time period. Mostly solo projects are pretty rare, so I definitely tried my best to knock it out of the park! Maybe some of my style and mark made it through in the end? Reviews have been excellent since the launch. 2023 materials are already selling out. Awesome!

Chroma Chronicles

Recently I had the opportunity to provide character animation, fx, and reskinning technical artist work for BoxBox’s card game, Chroma Chronicles. Hero art, trailer, and finally a reel of my work on the game are below.

Here is a link to their successful Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boxboxstudios/chroma-chronicles

Wayside

Recently commissioned to work on a client’s indie game, called Wayside, designing a poster and some animations of the characters. Here is a peak at the final results:

Wayside Concepts – Marker Sketches

Client had seen some of my past marker work sketching concept art for various projects and requested some for Wayside. Had a blast breaking out my old inks for these. As always, process began with super rough thumbnails before heading into the final piece. 9×12 marker illustrations.

Comedy Turnarounds

During the lockdowns I’ve managed to receive some character work for a YouTube comedy series. These were some of the fun characters I got to come up with. The client requested specifically a Yotam Perel / Adventure Time / Family Guy style. They would later be rigged and animated in After Effects. These are just 6 of the 20+ sets of turnarounds commissioned.

Designing Wedding Invitations

A lot of work went into my designs for our special day. Even though we were forced to reschedule everything I am still really proud of the invitations we worked so hard to make! Great exercise in layout and typography. Had fun with the fonts and cartography design. I think they actually turned out better in-person and in-hand. I’ll have to take some photos of the final result sometime soon.

Shaded Chasm

mockup2015

Well, here we are. Quite happy with this mockup of how this game could look. Good proof of concept for the art style, UI, mood. Finally feel like it’s in a good place in its initial concept before moving forward with fleshing out the narrative and cast. Development will stall until we can devote more time to it. Until then!
