I didn't make the cut, but it did give me the chance to work in pixel art again and fatten up my portfolio a bit. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/58acbfad37c5810740d64065/1487716493498/TowerB_screencap2.jpg Latest - Tower of Bullsh-- For an animation class a while back I was asked to do a simple mouse-maze game. It was not the type of game I was used to, and I rebelled a bit in choosing the title, but it actually ended up being a lot of fun to make, and gave me a chance to try pixel art for the first time. The game will have to stay off the internet until I rebuild it from Flash into HTML5. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/588c1d40bebafb4db82e9516/1485578014004/menu-title-demo09-animated.gif Latest - AOTW main menu mockup I was asked to design the menu system for Reluctant Koala Studio's Armour on the Wastes, and made several mock-ups in Animate (Flash). This was the version the team decided to go with, and I have already started building it in Construct 2. Tanks and logo were designed by Will Kingstone. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/5879bc6c86e6c0d1e3fb92e6/1484382731572/SpiderSamples.jpg Latest - Tree Trunk Spider My first model made and textured in Sculptris (Zbrush). Giant camouflaged spider meant to be used as a game asset. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/556eae1be4b0419b70758c31/1484911209385/spiderGestureComp2ForWeb.jpg Latest - Tree Trunk Spider Composition Model built and textured in Sculptris, image made in Photoshop using a background image from Wikipedia. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/556ebe95e4b08d611ed4ee06/1484382958829/Figurine03strongriLitFrontAndSide.jpg Latest - The Dive Sculptris (Zbrush). Based on photos from "the Illustrator's Reference Manual: Nudes". An exercise to see how elevation images could be used to build a model. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/556eaa6be4b0b75440a46eec/1484383219141/HammerheadToPrint02forWeb.jpg Latest - Hammerhead Model built and animated in Maya for a Unity-based game. A walking plant that attacks the player by using its spring-like central stalk as a club. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/5618239ee4b0b66177ad986e/1484383846419/ Latest - UEVAs are the Future Magazine spread made in InDesign. Logo and HUD done in Illustrator, robot hands modeled in Maya. Photos and text taken from Wikipedia. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/555ba1cfe4b013d27c82706d/1484911625046/KamEnvCmp1920pJPGq60.jpg Latest - Kam's Hideout In the thumbnail phase I decided to build a 3D model (left) in Maya so I could make minute alterations before illustrating in pen, marker, and colored pencil (center). As an exercise I tried a speed-paint version in Photoshop (right), which ironically took three times as long. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/555ba10be4b09da511007296/1484383913521/KamCharacterV3forSSweb.jpg Latest - Kam's Character Sheet Hand drawn in pen and marker, text in InDesign. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/5881f0d91e5b6c1419a6f6be/1484911030172/swimmer06watermarked.gif Latest - Endless swimmer Simple exercise in tracing over video frames, modified to loop endlessly. Done frame-by-frame in Illustrator, mostly using Live Paint in this version; watermark added in Animate(Flash) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/5635d244e4b088f9f3324b25/1484962216680/ Latest - Mustang Cassy Fan art piece originally intended for the SCP Foundation website. Built in Illustrator frame-by-frame. Intent was to create a looping gif from various low-effort animation techniques; for instance the forward motion of the car is created by using the same brush definition and moving the start point in each frame so the stroke appears to slide along the surface of the car. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/555ad094e4b0c2b57844213d/556eba9ee4b0c6a5baa0abf5/1433320374083/HaramotoWalkingRobot1900p.jpg Latest - Cell Tower Robot Illustrator.

A walking plant that attacks the player by swinging its bow-like central stalk like a club.

As an exercise I tried a speed-paint version in Photoshop (left), which ironically took three times as long. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/58796642bf629abac081806a/5879666ce3df288ed1f494a1/1484354017864/KamCharacterV3forSSweb.jpg portfolio - Kam's Character Sheet Hand drawn in ink and marker, text done in InDesign.   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/58796642bf629abac081806a/5879666946c3c4be429335c0/1484354095578/ClevergunRecomp02b.jpg portfolio - Portable Turret Pen and ink, title in Illustrator, body text in InDesign. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/58796642bf629abac081806a/5879666e414fb52b57e1fc64/1484354393182/mustang-cassie-v2-gif-8-no-dither-360p.gif portfolio - Mustang Cassy Made in Illustrator frame-by-frame, final composition in Animate (Flash). Fan art piece intended for the SCP Foundation website. The idea was to create a looping GIF from various low-effort animation techniques; for instance the forward motion of the car is created by using the same brush definition and moving the start point incrementally in each frame so the the stroke appears to slide along the surface of the car. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5559a91ee4b081dbcc29c405/58796642bf629abac081806a/5879666a9f745611b9ed360b/1484354441389/HaramotoLineDrawing4-13forWeb.png portfolio - Card Fanning Card Illustrator, black and white line drawing.
