Untethered

May 2025

Project to work in a team of 10 game designers to create a vertical slice game demo.
------------------------------------------------Skills
Concept Art ~ 3D Modelling ~ Rigging ~ Texturing ~ Animation

Software
Photoshop ~ Blender ~ Maya ~ Substance Painter

Untethered is a 2.5D metroidvania, created in 3D then given a pixel shader to mimic the style of pixel art. The player is a puppet possessed by the 7 deadly sins, each of which give a different fighting style.It is set in a medieval fantasy world corrupted by sins.

I took on the role of general designer. I was tasked with leading the creation of the character, enemies (wolf, bat, crow, guard) and boss for the game.I created mood boards to generate ideas and finalised the concept art. The concept was used to model and texture the characters. As well as using blender to rig the models.I also worked along side a few other designers to create animations in Maya for the enemies.

Spellbound

May 2023

Solo Project focused on environment design and environmental story telling, then implementing it successfully into a game engine with sounds.

Spellbound is a 3D stylized modern witches cottage. It was vital to capture the witches personality and tell a story through the furniture and clutter all over the house. It was also important to me to include LGBTQ+ representation through this character so the bedroom also contains subtle pride flags and other memorabilia.I created concept art for the different rooms in photoshop before modelling and UV unwrapping everything in blender.I was then able to export this to Substance Painter where I used a combination of hand painting and generators and grunge maps to create a cartoonish or stylised artistic effect.Once completed it was imported into a Unreal Engine scene where I added the lighting and audio.

Catnnection

October 2024

48 Hour Game Jam as a group of 4 exploring the theme of connection.
------------------------------------------------Skills
2D Pixel Art, 2D Animation, UI Design

Software
asprite ~ Unity

Catnnection is a 2D pixel art game jam based around the theme "connection".We were in teams of 4 and had 48 hours to complete it.It is a 2 player split screen game where they must work together with the arrow and WASD keys to control the 2 cats who got seperated into parallel dimensions to complete puzzles utilising the portal connecting them in the center of the screen to distract the evil cant and escape.I worked along one other designer to create all the pixel art assets for the game using Asprite before implementing them into Unity. I started off by designing and animating the 2 player cats, based off my own real cats. While the other design created level assets and the enemy cat.I then also designed and created the comic style images that play at the start of the game to explain the story of the cats being separated. As well as working with the other designer to create the games UI. I created the start screen and options menu while they created the pause, death and game completed screen.

Modelling for Games

Software
Photoshop ~ Blender ~ Maya ~ Substance Painter

I created a A-pose model reference sheet in Photoshop for the character and then modelled it, including facial features and the inside of the mouth in Maya.

Art Fight

An online community event to design and create as many pieces of art for other creators through the month of july using any artform.3D Modelling and Texture Painting

I used artfight as an opportunity to quickly explore a variety of character modelling techniques in blender, focusing on a different aspect each time, giving myself only a few hours per model.
