    uniE621 Sundae Rayo
    As a part of my final semester, I wanted to focus on prop design. A character from a friend's book sufficed- I illustrated a handful of props in my style, sketched out potential designs that the author then approved of, and then illustrated a small scene incorporating the props, the character and a scene from a chapter. bookillustration illustration characterdesign propdesign…
    uniE621 Tommy Karate
    In order to practice prop design for future clients, I made a fake Intellectual Property.

    uniE621 Cannibal Classic
    In school, we were assigned to come up with our own Intellectual Property, with a variety of characters, interactive props, environment layouts, complete with a comprehensive plot. Cannibal Classic was targeted to young, coming-of-age teenagers, and was designed to follow a video game format. All of the work here compiled is for a hypothetical pitch, so it’s all pre-production illustration. Also, apologies if the quality is crunched, this website is not the best to upload examples of work. illustration videogamedesign characterdesigner…
