 This is a short project I worked on for my final project in my game design course, a video game called 'Jump start'. It's a frog related mini game series, and even though there isn't many games, it's still in development! I did the art and most of the programming, if given more resources I guaranteed would've done more.

The process behind it

I never realized how hard it is to try and make a mini game about frogs. The best part was coming up with the ideas and planning and sketching, putting it together? Not so much. However it taught me a lot about having realistic Ideals.

I’ve only managed to make two successful mini games from the six that I originally planned. Bitsy was definitely a learning experience, I’ve learned that games take a long amount of time, and no matter how long you take you may not even be done or completely happy with what you created.

I love frogs and I wish I had more creative means to put my thoughts into fruition. I would probably use a different programming tool next time, and take more time into actually making some of the games.

A movie poster I had to do for my assignment in digital design. I had to correlate this to the animation story board I had to do for that class as well. I really adore the colors I used for this.

This is a piece where I focused more on the background rather than the forefront. I used a bunch of eye catching colors like red and green, and subtler colors like blue so it wouldn't clash. My biggest challenge was over- cluttering and arranging the elements so that they wouldn't be overwhelming.

This is a self portrait that I've done with a mechanical pencil and a 9x12 in. sketchbook. My biggest challenge was positioning and placement. I feel confident in the way I drew the eyes/eyelashes, but I would not mind revisiting this piece in the future. I redrew the same piece twice, the second after receiving advice on what I should fix. I've always struggled with self image so this was difficult for sure.

This piece was done to also see how I could make neutral colors pop. The anatomy is a tad bit off, and i'd like to try this again despite my style for this piece being rather cartoonish. I really like the composition however.

ie. A bottle of ginger ale and tub of sauce slightly top down view. 

ie. Two characters I designed, the colors had to correspond and look well together, so I tried my best. 

This is my experimentation with color grading and the likes.

 This is a project that I'm currently working on, a visual novel called "SATURN", and it's a mystery  romance based game. I've done all of the art on this page, minus the flower graphics.
