Character Design
Sue
This is my character design exploration process for Sue from the classic story "The Last Leaf". This project included visual development for an illustrated storybook that portrays Sue and Johnsy as romantic partners rather than friends
Brianna
Brianna is a fierce and hardworking dancer determined to make it big. However, her ambitions comes with a cost. The creative outlet that once alleviated anxiety and frustration now comes with its own perfectionistic urge.
Kyle
Kyle has your typical "out of a vampire novel", "cold" look. He's someone who's hard to approach but easy to admire. Inside though, he's just an exchange student who does not speak english very well.
Game lineup
Character line up from an indie video game project about a young raccoon who finds himself moving between the human world and the animal kingdom. The main character is an extraordinarily smart raccoon who find himself alone when his aging owner fails to return home. Forced to fend for himself, he starts to get drawn into the myriad of things people throw away. The game takes place in New England suburbs, and these are some of the animal characters he gets to encounter.
Sola
Sola is an awkward and curious kid who was raised by a single mother who has sworn off any interaction with the society.
Melody
After a traumatic event, Melody retreats from the society altogether. Her mysterious presence feeds rumors left and right.
Melody-redesign
I decided to redesign Melody's character to blend in better in a more modern setting
