I wantet do try and create fantasy characters in 3D, and rather than creating one of my own and sketching those, I used a reference picture from internet, something I could try and re- create in 3D. I used this picture of a mage from the artist "Sephiroth-Art" on Deviantart. The only thing I did here was re-creating this picture in 3D and texturing this in Substance Painter.
After I was done with this, I continued playing with some new techniques I recently learned, and tried to give it a cartoonish look to it.

I always liked the look and architecture of the medieval age, and even more of the Victorian age. I liked them in games, too, and combined this with a low poly harbor in the style of the story- driven game, HERALD.
This scene contains two different houses that are reused constantly with only a change in the tint of the textures, and this entire scene is completed with moving dynamic water, the ship that slowly moves on the water and smoke that was coming from the chimney. The tint of the entire scene is warm and it has dynamic lightning and minimal shadow to give a cartoonish and low poly feeling to it.

A long term project I have been working on since 2018 whenever possible. I concepted with campfire blaze, and created flowcharts to define branching and phasing, and managed the blogs and public updates/Q and As of the game.
It's a branching narrative game, completely text based and depended on the choices the reader makes. The win and lose conditions are all stat and choice based, and heavy replayablitly depends on the many branches and choices available within the story.
The game currently has 100k words for one playthrough, and around 400k for every path, choice and consequences combined.

Aside from my passion for Narrative and Level design, I also am capable of various other roles, such as feature design, gameplay design, and 3D art. For 3D art, I've got a degree from my previous education. A few examples of this are shown below!
