Style Challenges

For an artist who usually specializes in creepy demon characters and monsters, discovering how to successfully create cute graphics was extremely challenging. There were many iterations of Coco that were just plain creepy and off putting before I finally getting something that was cute. Also the whole vectoring process was something new to my work flow as well. For the most part I have treated photoshop as a traditional painting program in which I did not use tools like the pen tool and blending options with layers because my previous work did not require these types of elements. I would simply treat the document as a blank canvas, and any type of texture or effect would be created by painting.

Because of this, learning how to use the pen tool was definitely different for me but also a welcomed challenge because I got to learn a new process and increased my skill level at the same time. Like everything though, there is still room for improvement and I look forward to getting better at this skill for our future work.

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
