University Project: Character and Environment Design

For our visual design project we were tasked to design a character and a shack within an environment . For my character I created a scientist that lives in an small lab that resides in an artic area, and does geographical data collection.

Environment Cutaway: Seth's Apartment  

Mini personal project, I designed an apartment for one of my characters and used Blender as a base to draw on top of it.

Character Design and Environment Painting

Taking what I learnt from Uni, I created a character sheet for one of my characters; the environment piece is a repaint of  something I did back in June 2020. (At end of process slide)

Imagining Bloodborne II

My entry for VaatiVidya's Bloodborne art contest. 

(Video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Pe2yfyUdo)

The goal was to design and reimagine Bloodborne 2, I designed weapons, character costume designs/gear, gameplay mechanics and added my own lore. It was fun creating my own interpretation and researching deeper into Bloodborne and it's inspirations, I learnt a lot because of this.

It was challenging to manage university work and getting this done for the contest deadline but, I am happy with the amount of work that I managed to get done.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work!
