Firetower Environment

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 10:00:00 -0400

The style of this work is largely inspired by Jan Krocak and Mikael Gustafsson. Along with the dioramas of the youtube channel Boylei Hobby Time. The environment was based off a roblox showcase game called Above The Forest which was taken down a while ago but seems to have been archived. During the creation of this project I also played Firewatch. I have a love for warm cool contrast and cozy environemnts as you can see in the rest of my portfolio.

Frigid Voyage

I created this animation as a submission to a Minecraft Animation Community Collab hosted by Chicoh in the style of the Pwnisher Challenge. The base animation of the player and boat was provided. When I was making this I had just read an article by Bram Stout Productions about their work on A Warden’s Song. In the video the smoke particle textures from in-game were used to create fog. I decided to do the same in this scene. The movement of the scraf and lantern where physically simulated using bones constrainted to cloth physics.

Camel City Game Jam is an annual game jam for high school students. I created these three trophy models from the event with the help of concept art and ideas provided by other students. I then helped with the printing and assembly of the trophy models.
