Gift Art – FFXIV Warrior of Light Tarot Card
–
Medium: Procreate
Created in: December 2022
Gift receiver: Strongbeard

This drawing was the result of a Discord server Secret Santa gift exchange; Given Strongbeard’s interests and the references he provided, I decided to draw his Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy XIV as a figure for a major arcana tarot card – The World. To make it as accurate a tarot card as possible, I looked up what this card usually depicts and recreated it with elements from the game, notably the weapons and the chocobos.

Wario Clay Pot – WIP
–
Medium: physical, clay
Created in: Winter 2023
Commissioner: my brother

I was inspired by some Games Done Quick marathon prizes to try and make clay pots shaped like various video game characters/objects, this one being the first of my attempts and a commission for my brother. The base shape of Wario’s head and cap were done on a potter’s wheel, then combined together with the rest of the facial features, which were fashioned from leftover clay. Pottery is a hobby I greatly enjoy and this piece was a fun test of my abilities!

This piece has already been biscuit fired and is in the process of being glazed; The final results will be posted relatively soon.

Dee the Clown ; Design Evolution

Medium: Clip Studio Paint, Procreate
Created in: April 2020 – Sept 2022

This little character started off as the nameless player character for a 2D platformer demo made for a Computer Science CEGEP Program class; Later on, I decided to redesign him when I started having ideas for an action-adventure RPG set in a clown world, in which he would be the protagonist. These are incidentally my first, self-taught attempts at animating 2D assets for a video game, of which I’m pretty proud of despite their roughness. When redesigning him, I wanted to give him a cuter, more polished and vibrant look that still kept his signature feature – the frilly collar/mouth.

The game shown in this “trailer” was our entry and 3rd place winner for the 6th edition of the Intercollégial de Création de Jeux Vidéo du CEGEP de Valleyfield, a 45-hour game jam competition. My contribution consisted of making most of the pixel art and animations used in-game, as well as helping debug the code when needed. We wanted people to enjoy playing it again and again to try and beat their highest score and to find our game funny, in a somewhat satirical kind of way. Besides all of that, I wanted to participate in a game jam to see if I would enjoy it enough to want to do more of them in the future, as well as to experience working on a game with multiple people at the same time. I had a great deal of fun during this event and am quite proud of the result.

3D Farm Demo
–
Medium: Unity, C#, Clip Studio Paint, Blendr
Created in: Fall 2021
Collaborator: Yanik S.

This demo was created in about 1 month for a Computer Science CEGEP Program class as a final project; The goal of this project was to create a 3D game demo, with free reign of the theme and gameplay, using everything we had learned in class. Besides the HUD item icons and a few self-made 3D models, all models, animations, etc. are free assets found on the Unity Asset Store, Sketchfab.com or Mixamo.com. All sounds are royalty-free sounds found on BigSoundBank.com. We picked this genre because I wanted to think of ways to code the various mechanics of a farming sim game, since I would like to eventually create a full game of this genre, and this was the perfect opportunity for it. My project partner and I also agreed to include some fantasy/mythological elements to the game to give it a fun twist, since most farming sim games I know generally only use real-life farm animals and plants. We wanted to create a little game concept that people would think of as fun and original.

Fantasy Crop 3D Models
–
Medium: Blendr
Created in: Fall 2021

Using my very basic, self-taught Blendr skills, I created these assets for my farm game demo; Since I was aiming for the game’s setting to have a more fantasy/mythological vibe than most farming sims, I wanted the in-game models to reflect the crop ideas I had thought of, i.e. the mandrake root and the underworld’s pomegranate.
